He just nods to accept the sympathy. It's hard to know what to say, but Sakura tried. She's probably had a hard enough time in the war herself. She has to deal with the wounded as well as the fighting when it comes to battle, and goodness knows Chouji has enough trouble managing one role in the war. "Thank you. For listening."

A thought occurs to him, given their initial hesitance to discuss the war openly. Has Sakura had anyone to do the same for her? "Are any of the others from the war, or are we the only ones this far along?"

He waves off the uncertainty in that offer, a slow smile spreading across his face. "As long as provisions are available. I can always do the cooking myself if I need to."
