[ Naruto isn't the most perceptive person going - in fact he's kind of unfortunately dense - but when it comes to negative feelings Naruto is like a fly to sugar, drawn to them from a place deep within his chest that feels like his own heart and something else entirely all at the same time. It's a strange feeling, but he's barely aware of it as he watches Lup's progress through the party.
Reacting to a trinket by looking lost and then drinking whatever you can get your hands on is, after all, a pretty weird reaction to have.. but Naruto has seen that kind of drinking before. All he can see is Lady Tsunade when she heard about Jiraiya-sensei, and he's not sure if it's grief, empathy or the want to help that makes his chest hurt a bit at the thought, but it's what propels him forward to tap Lup on the shoulder. He could be wrong, of course, but either way by approaching her he figures neither of them lose anything. ]
hey, i need a favor!
[ He's already got the message written, plan formed and only in need of her assistance. ]

B-ish
