"You really didn't have to," Tenten said pointedly, pouring them both a bit more tea.

"Tenten!" Lee burst in, loudly as ever. Normally his overenthusiastic greeting would have hit her, but theoretically in deference to his condition he chose to barrel Neji over in his hug. Though she normally would resent any special treatment because of her colds, she was willing to make this an exception. Besides, she had always more-than-a-little-bit suspected that Lee much preferred embracing men than women.

"If you would." Lee looked up at her. "You're sitting on the crackers. I have milk for you, if you would pass them over."

"Of course, Tenten."

Crackers set more securely on the table, Tenten removed Lee from all over a fuming Neji by handing him a tea cup of milk.

"Thanks for coming, you guys."
