Ino had her stuff packed and was cross-legged on the floor giving the seedlings she'd sent Reno a little while ago a good looking over while waiting for her portal.
She was still… iffy about that whole Fandom Thing, but while being around was fun, she was pretty sure that putting it off would only make it worse.
Zen. She was zen. Okay. As much as Ino ever was.
Which… wasn't very. But alrighty then. Lying to herself was totally healthy!
"So," she said, "you wouldn't whine if I wanted to come kill monsters some more sometime?"
[NFB due to distance and for the red-haired Turk!]

no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 03:00 am (UTC)Or he was just that special. Take your pick?

Date: 2009-08-11 03:45 am (UTC)Well, he was. Plates, criminal dumbfucks, overpasses. You name it.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 03:51 am (UTC)"Yes," she said, staring up at him. "You are good at destruction. That's a skill to be valued too, and it's not the only one you've got."
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 03:53 am (UTC)Reno offered her a little grin, and then a wink and a thumbs-up.
"What can I say? There's somethin's gotta get done, I do it an' I do it good."
Humble, wasn't he?

Date: 2009-08-11 04:04 am (UTC)"Talkin' of, you doin' any better?"
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 04:07 am (UTC)"I--maybe?" she said, giving that a bit of a shrug. "You know it's... easier here. Than in Fandom? Because, hell, any glance around and you see that this ain't no sunshine and roses place to be."
"That's... helpful."
That also wasn't entirely an answer, Ino.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 04:10 am (UTC)Yeah, Reno knew that song and dance number well enough to perform it solo and acapella.
"You know I'd let you stay forever if I figured it'd do you any real good, Ino. But this ain't the place for you. People on the island might not get it, but I got my phone if you need me."
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 04:12 am (UTC)Yay understatements.
She laughed softly. "Though, I suppose, if I utterly had to pick a different world, this one wouldn't be bad. I could do good here, I think."

Date: 2009-08-11 04:16 am (UTC)Or they died, but that was a depressing thought when she was a rookie.
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 04:19 am (UTC)Dammit anyhow.
"You're gonna have to save some monsters for me, when that happens. I'll get bored, eatin' your dust all the time, yo."

Date: 2009-08-11 11:23 am (UTC)"Yeah, yeah, Rookie. Keep sellin' yourself short like that an' I'm gonna have to put you on some kinda strict trainin' regimen, yo."
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 01:23 pm (UTC)A beat.
Another beat.
"...I'm not particularly against more training." No, really, she seriously wasn't against it. This was Ino after all. "And I wasn't selling myself short."
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 01:45 pm (UTC)"Well, then I'm flattered, zoto. What are you doin' for trainin' now, anyhow?"
no subject
Date: 2009-08-11 01:51 pm (UTC)"Mostly physical--running, practicing my taijutsu, beginner training with a spear which is more for arm strength in my case than any desperate need to use it." She chewed on her lower lip. "I'm not allowed to practice half my powers at Fandom, though I study the theory, and the other half I add into my other training. Like, spear training while standing on water and stuff."
More contemplation.
"Medical studies too," she added, "I can fix broken bones now, and some concussions, it depends on the specific injury, but I'm getting better at that."
