Tha auction went well, mostly. Need ta talk ta Hawkeye about tha date, find out a good time fer her. Surprised there was a prize, don't remember hearin' anythin' about that. But I ain't complaining. Takes an idiot ta complain about good surprises.

Also need ta talk ta Haku after Yachiru tells me how tha stuff went. I don't like waitin', but it's a big part o' life.

Was talkin' a bit ago ta tha guy from tha auction, Pein. I've been movin' fer tha sake o' movin' fer so long tha' I dunno what it's like ta not be movin' anymore. I had reasons... 31 years ago, an' again when I found Yachiru. But I ain't a kid anymore, an' Yachiru ain't either. No one can mess up our lives like they woulda if they had a chance. Not sure what this means, not yet. Only came ta me when I was talkin' wi' 'im. Don't wanna stagnate, but I dunno if stayin' means stagnatin'. Think ya can have one without tha other.

Need ta find a regular job fer now, until someone can offer me somethin' fun. Ain't gonna have money problems any time soon, but always good ta have yer bases covered in case of emergencies or somethin'.
