Room 504, Monday Late Afternoon

[intraspective]

Ino was on her bed and pretending that the weekend hadn’t existed. Because she’d been a moron all weekend. The word ‘hi’ was banned from her vocabulary from now on. Yes. That’d work.

At least it had been mostly fun, though she’d bet that at least one person was totally going to mock her for being wee and chocolate obsessed. This reminded her—she had to throw out the rest of the chocolate she had in her room. Ino wasn’t going to eat it any time soon. Definitely not. No.

It had been fun. Except for the ‘mean lady’. Ino groaned. Yeah. Avoiding Lieutenant Kerrigan was right up there on her list of things to do from now on. And she had to check in with Annette at some point to see what the damage was to Annette’s room. What had they been thinking?

Oh, right. They hadn’t been.

[Door is shut, post is open!]

"I was everywhere this weekend," Ino said. "I can't believe how much ground little me could cover in a day. It was probably all the chocolate."

She shifted on her bed, making room for him to join her.

Kabuto accepted the unspoken invitation, sitting down next to Ino in the cleared space. "Are you planning on eating a little better now that you're back to normal?" he asked, giving her a sideways look. "That much chocolate really isn't good for you."

[intraspective]

She wrinkled her nose. "I don't want to eat chocolate for, for... at least a month. Ugh. I can't believe how badly I ate."

"Good." Kabuto shifted a little, sliding his arm around Ino's shoulders. "You could stand to gain a little weight, but it's still unhealthy to do it by just eating chocolate."

[intraspective]

She totally cuddled closer to him. "My weight's fine." Pause. "Well, 'cept for the bit I've got to get back from being stuck in the past. But it's not that much."

"Hmm," Kabuto replied noncommittally. He thought Ino was a little skinny to begin with, but he wasn't going to push the point. "Would your father have been pleased or embarrassed by how much you hero-worshipped him as a child?" he asked instead.

[intraspective]

Really, he should be glad she weighed as much as she did. Ino could easily weigh even less.

"Are you kidding?" Ino laughed. "Dad totally loved it."

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

If Ino weighed less, even Kabuto would be bringing her food all the time. Because that would just be too skinny.

"That's good. Otherwise he would have had a difficult time shutting you up about it."

[intraspective]

Ino lifted her chin and said loftily. "I could be quiet for 'Daddy' at any age."

"For all of ten seconds?" Kabuto asked sweetly.

[intraspective]

She elbowed him. "I have a better attention span than that!"

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes," he allowed, grinning. "When it counts, at least."

[intraspective]

"I bet I can concentrate better than you'd think!"

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"Probably. I'll have to test that sometime." Kabuto made a mental note of it for later. "It could make for an interesting hypothesis."

[intraspective]

"Yeah yeah." She rolled her eyes. "I'm not some experiment you know."

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"No. But I have to keep busy somehow, right?" The silver-haired ninja gave her a little squeeze. "It's good that we're back to normal, now. There's been so many things going on one right after another lately."
