[ There's a bit of a pause, but then, Itachi makes a noise. ] ...Its on...

[ He clears his throat a little. ]

...Kamui-san... [ Another pause. ] ...This is Itachi... you... probably do not remember me. I... am the one you... met at the Lagrange Apartments to obtain medicine from...

[ Well, maybe that will remind him. ]

I saw the message about the... expeditions along with everyone else. I saw you were going out into the desert...

While I do wish your safe return... I called in efforts to ask a favor of you, while you are out.

...My little brother... Sasuke... is going to be on the trip with you. I know this is short notice, and I realize you have no obligations to this, however... if you can find even a spare moment... to look after him while he is away. I know whatever mission you are on is top priority, and I expect nothing less... I want my brother to get better, as well...

He's still... sick, so he needs to at least be looked after somewhat. He is stubborn, but... that is most people, I think...

...Anyway, if... you can find the time... I would be in your debt.

...Ah, this is my number... if you need anything.
