Let's have a little chat, somewhere that's a little safer for you to say what you want to. Since I know some of you are never going to remotely do anything face-to-face, I've come to terms with that. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to, either.
With the nature of this place, it's understandable that there's some underlying fear of what's to come of the future. Whether it's going to happen before you're ready, that you might lose someone or something important to you due to it.
Unfortunately, at the end of the day, we can't really know the future. We can get bits and pieces of it, we can speculate based on that evidence, but we can't know everything that's going to happen. There's always some form of loss when it comes to a fight on the scale that will eventually be here, and I'll say that even in the darkest of times there's always a shred of light.
I can say that from experience. While this would be on a much larger scale than my own, wars of all sorts have been fought on this planet, whether or not you're aware of them. The shinobi mages were no different from the rest of the world, if I remember correctly, we'd been through three major wars between our different villages, or clans. Many of us lost those close to us, many lost their own lives, for what was perceived as the greater good.
God, I'm rambling. My point is that of the things to be worrying about, don't let it be the inevitable, it will only hold you back and put you in a rut. Perhaps when the time comes, you'll grow even stronger through your struggles.

But Lin would be correct in her assumption in that not being likely, which might be exactly why she's silent for a good long minute or two at the question. How does she word this to be less pathetic than what it actually is?
Maybe the sound of bottles being knocked over doesn't help. Tonton is just snuffling around in what is very clearly a good number of sake bottles, jeeze.]
That answer your question?
no subject
Tsunade are you alright?
[Lin leaned a little closer, and from the look of her it wasn't a casual question. She expected an actual answer, not just a casual "yeah I'm fine".]
no subject
One mistake out of a number of times, it's just a fluke. I'm fine. [Nope. Nice try, though.]
no subject
But...maybe she's wrong. Maybe it WAS a fluke and Tsunade was just in a bad mood. She didn't REALLY know her that well yet, after all. Lin searched her face for answers for another few seconds before relenting.]
I'm glad to hear it.
no subject
And Tonton is just staring at the situation and trying to make a loud noise to get Lin's attention as she's rooting through the bottles still. Times where this poor little pig wishes she could talk, oops.]
no subject
...If you need a drinking buddy, why don't you call me next time? I know drinking alone always just makes me feel sad.
no subject
She's sighing softly and shifting around again to finally look up at her.]
It's better if you don't, honestly. [What does that even mean?]
no subject
Or girls! I don't know how you roll!
no subject
I'd rather not. In either case. [S t o p.]
no subject
[Getting up. She's said her piece, she'll leave Tsunade to brood in silence, if that's what she wants so bad, but she's got her eye on your now. Nothing can get by Lin's eye except basic level trickery.]
no subject
[Good luck, Lin, this is going to be one of the more difficult nuts to crack.]
I just... need to take a bit of a rest and I'll be fine. [Liar. But she'll try at the very least.]
no subject
[Off she goes! She waves from the doorway.]
Hope you feel better!
