Whatever you say, Major. [Minato's far too used to Hyoubu's antics by now to bother getting riled up, but what he said does give him a faint idea of how long he's been gone- a month at the very least, it seems.

He stands up after that, notably not tucking both of his hands into his pockets as he's picking up a toaster with some blood stains on it before looking back at the stairs. Huh.]

The stairs don't seem to have changed...guess that gossip wasn't good enough for it. [Or maybe no one thinks that about his right eye except for himself, but jokes aside Minato's going to ask about the toaster.] Did you get one of these too? A murder weapon, I mean. [He'd ask how Hyoubu's been, but that one was made obvious enough already.]
