I like to think that Haku in candlelight and diamonds playing with every ounce of skill he possess in front of an audience who will do anything but ridicule him would affect even a fellow entertainer. *smiles* I love your insight, and thank you for sharing that!

Itachi's head is a rather fun place to roam around for a while. I'm so happy you're enjoying. Thank you!
