He’s alive. He’s alright. He remembered this place, and her. So though she still almost says “now” when she opens her mouth-]
Just- Any time… in the afternoon would be good… I need to tidy up…
[He can't blame Konoha if she wishes an hour or two to compose herself before seeing him again. It may have been longer for him since they've seen each other, but he wasn't the one who had spent most of that time thinking his friend might be dead.]
Of course. I have other matters to attend to as well, so why don't I come by a couple hours after noon?
[That should hopefully give her plenty of time to ready herself, and it will give him time to check in with other people who might have wondered about his disappearance. He wonders if he has enough time to bake something to bring with him as well. Probably, as long as he doesn't try to make anything especially ambitious.]

Mmm… That’s good for me. I’ll see you then.
