Thanks, I had lots of fun writing this. Four- or three-way dialogues aren't the easiest to depict, lucky Neji took a backseat and Naruto is such a flirt - good to know it was enjoyable to read! I admit, I was feeling hopelessly self-indulgent when I wrote this.

Writing the emergency room was... an interesting experiment at not letting the background fade into the distance. I am so glad to know it works. u_u
