[ It's been a little while - he's not sure exactly how long because Naruto has never really been all that good at keeping track of times or dates, and in a place like this where events and missions seem to bleed together with very little stopping time, Naruto's calendar carelessness hasn't exactly been helped at all. But time has most certainly passed, and while people disappear from ALASTAIR's network all the time and return with memories intact and uninterrupted.. that does not say the same for the people left behind.
Waiting is one of Naruto's least favourite things to do, topped only by losing friends, and when combined? Naruto has to give the whole situation a solid no. He's been combating the feelings of distaste by learning as much as he possibly can, but with an attention span as short as his he hasn't got very far, and the one thing he somehow continues to fail to master is the recreation of his favourite meal. That hurried arrangement in the kitchen feels so long ago to him now, and digging through his mind-tank to rediscover the minute details is proving more difficult than. Well. Anything he's ever done?
So hearing a familiar voice makes Naruto make an immediate move to stand. Clambered half inside a large cupboard as he is, though, he only ends up thwacking his head off the underside of the counter. He curses loudly, some garbled string of swears he's both favoured and overheard in his time here (who swears around an impressionable idiot kid, really?) before getting properly to his feet just in time to see Ban chewing the cork off a glass bottle.
The screech that leaves him is both louder than the aforementioned swear, and coupled with the action of Naruto clambering on top of the counter and literally lunging himself at Ban. He will either miss or hit him shoulder-on; both results not exactly favourable, but when has Naruto ever thought a single thing in his life through?
Regardless, he will complete the action by shouting, accusatory: ] Where the hell have you been, y'know????
