The timing felt right. Everyone's first Olympics and they were in Japan.
[ Not that Tobio has the strongest sense of patriotism, nor a strong feeling of home in general. He's most at home on a court, no matter where in the world it may be located, and he attributes some of his success to that. Nothing to worry about when it comes to friends or family or romance because he doesn't have much of any of them; it helps that all of the people he calls friends are fellow volleyball players, too. ]
It was nice to see familiar faces, too.
[ Perhaps not Oikawa's, however, since said face continues to be so cocky. It's nothing like in high school when he always had a childish air to his personality when they were off the court. As annoying as he could be, at least Oikawa has always been able to back up his claims, and Tobio has no doubts that his team will be back in the finals four years from now. Then again, teams change, and Tobio may be playing for an even stronger team than the one Japan had this time.
The gesture is lost on him, but the question is a simple one. Still, it stuns him a bit. He'd talked to Hinata about running into Oikawa in Brazil, sharing a game and a meal, but Tobio didn't think that he'd ever have that kind of offer extended to him. Didn't he used to be Arch Nemesis #1 in his mind? ]
right back at you, work's been busy for me

No, actually, I was going to go find something.
