But our outraged voices weren't the only ones.
- You're doing that again?! - Saya jumped to her feet, shaking her head with the kind of KI that would honor a middle-aged jonin. - Shenesu-nii, you and I have had this conversation before! Do you want to do it again? - she cracked her knuckles demonstratively.
- Well, well, well, Saya-chan, don't get excited," her uncle raised his hands soothingly, squeezing himself into the chair, "I'll explain everything.
- Oh, it'll be very interesting to hear," Setsura said with interest, cleaning her nails with a senbon that had appeared out of nowhere, despite the fact that the kunoichi was in her home clothes without a single pouch in sight, "then you're dismissing my efforts to find my son a normal wife, and now suddenly he has to marry someone he doesn't know!
- There are reasonable reasons for that, my dear," the clan leader smiled nervously, facing the pressure from the two aggressive women.

- Ma-a-ama! Parents' personal lives, that's not something I want to know about! - The cousin's face turned green.
I felt very uncomfortable too, but obviously, from Aunty's squinted eyes, that's exactly what she wanted. This was definitely revenge for the news that had been dropped earlier!
- You can discuss this later," Saya interjected, much to the relief of the male part of Nara, "but right now I'd like to hear the undoubtedly important reasons why the boys are marrying some Hyuga.
