[He hesitates outside the shop.

Naruto, usually content to follow another's lead and doubly so when this person is a friend- hadn't given their destination any thought. He'd been aimless like this once before, alternating between laying awake on his bed and meandering through Konoha's streets and alleyways. It doesn't happen often because Naruto is a young man used to encountering walls and finding ways around them. He couldn't do that with Jiraiya's loss, and he can't do it with this.

The shuffle of his feet comes to a halt. There are trees around them- this late they're reduced to twists of the darkest brown and a spread of inky leaves overhead. The path they'd taken up here disappears into them.

Showing no sign of stopping, Sasuke disappears into the building and Naruto follows- belatedly. He's looking at the walls and at the counter the host had been behind. The temperature is different in here and the lights are dim. Nudged to the middle of their procession Naruto takes his time, moving on autopilot right up until they're shown into a changeroom. He barely hears the host's orientation to the space, but then he doesn't really need that either. The door closes quietly as he sees himself out and Naruto mills about- sticking his head into the adjoining room with a sort of vacant curiosity. Looking for the sake of looking.]
