[And if she knew her husband, he had been the one paying.
She lets Naruto go, maybe a bit reluctantly, but if he's finishing their lunch she can use the time to sort some of her stuff out. And maybe fish out the little souvenir she brought back for him: a smooth, pale-colored snail shell, small enough to fit in the palm of her hand. The spiral didn't protrude out, instead it was rounded where it nearly made a flat surface. Maybe it was more of a simple gift, but she'd found it her first day on Jiro Island and found herself thinking he might like it. So as she digs it out from where it had been carefully wrapped, she listens to what her son has to say.
And decides to tease him.]
