Room 504, Saturday Late Morning

[intraspective]

When she got back to her room after spending the night across the hall, well, it was a good thing she was in a good mood.

Because Angel had somehow gotten into her hair elastics again. "How did you do that?" Ino wondered, kneeling down to pet Angel. "I'm pretty sure I put those away in a drawer specifically so you couldn't get them."

Angel purred.

"That's not helpful."

He accepted it almost reverently, wrapping his arms around the pot. "It is amazing, Ino," he said quietly. "Are you sure you can bear to part with it? And you must let me give you something for it!"

[intraspective]

"You don't owe me anything," Ino insisted, "really. Not a problem." She smiled though. "And I'll be good without it, honest."

She had many more plants after all.

He looked uncertainly between her and the plant. "You're sure?"

[intraspective]

Her smiled was genuine. "Totally sure."

"Thank you." It was heartfelt, and he might have hugged the pot slightly. "I'll let you know how she likes it."

[intraspective]

"Just have it be well taken care of," Ino said, relieved he wasn't going to push the whole payment thing, "and I'll be more than happy. I look forward to knowing what she thinks."

Ino tended to do badly when people thanked her for things. It made her uncomfortable.

"I will, I promise." One of the flowers was tickling his nose, and he gently pushed it aside. "And it is dreadfully rude to visit, take your plant, and then run away, but I'm going to have to," he said apologetically. "But if you wanted to come by for tea sometime, you'd be more than welcome."

[intraspective]

That earned him a bubbling laugh. "I don't mind, really," Ino assured him, "and I'll make sure to do that. Go on, take your plant and see what Evey's got to say about it."

He blushed again, but gave her a huge grin. "I will. Thank you again, Ino!" he called as he disappeared out the door.
