Ino was... back from her trip to Gaia. And Reno. Who was totally her favourite person ever right that second and was so getting a shipment of booze and soil once she'd figured out just how well she was really dealing with things enough to want to go out. And, augh, she had work the next two days. Lovely. It looked like she wasn't going to get a chance to brood. And maybe contemplate how much trouble she was likely to be in for getting back from a mission and fleeing again without so much as a by-your-leave. Whatever.

It was still rather up in the air as to whether or not being back was a good thing, but at least she wasn't freaking out about just being in Fandom anymore. Baby steps. Small improvements. She could live with that. Setting her bags on her bed, she'd deal with unpacking in a minute, Ino checked her voicemail messages and left a few of her own.

Then she stretched, ran her hands wearily through her hair, and got down to the business of checking over every single one of her plants. Shhh. They enjoyed it, and so did she.

Hurley knocked on Ino's door.

"Hey, Ino, you there?" he said.

Hurley pushed his way in. "You, uhhh, want me to leave the door mostly closed?"

"Just, uhhh, checking in. Cause you kinda went away and stuff," Hurley said. "It wasn't, like, extra months and stuff, was it?"

"Like, Tahiri went out for a week but apparently it was almost three months or something," Hurley said. "Like that."

"Okay, good," Hurley said. "Cause she came back all... moody and stuff, and I was worried you'd be, too."

Oh, Hurley.

"I mean, not that it's bad if you are. Just, hoping my friends are all okay and stuff."

"Okay," Hurley said. "...and you don't have to just say so, if you're not."

"...I'm not making any sense, am I?" Hurley said.

"Sorry," Hurley said. "Guess I'm kinda... off and stuff, lately."

"Just sorta keep stumbling on stuff since then," Hurley said with a shrug. "Like I'm not quite... as useful or anything."

"Good point," Hurley said. "But I'm not even, like... good spirits dude. You know... the guy everyone can count on makin' 'em smile and stuff."

Hurley looked over, a little taken aback. "...okay?"

Hurley chewed on his lip a little. "So, you like... cold and... covered in spikes?"

It was Hurley's attempt to come up with the opposite of warm and cuddly.

"This is like that... what is nice to some people isn't to others stuff, right?"

From: [identity profile] likes-chicken.livejournal.com
"Maybe you should explain it," Hurley said. "Cause I don't think I quite understand. Is that okay?"

Date: 2009-08-11 04:43 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] likes-chicken.livejournal.com
"Oh," Hurley said. "Yeah." He actually think he understood that.

"Cause hugs don't really fix anything, anyway."

"Sometimes people need to be able to work through stuff without, like... getting patted on the back and told everything is going to be okay, cause its really just a lie," Hurley said.

"Something happened, didn't it?" Hurley said. "Something you don't want to talk about."

Hurley had to respect that. After all, he wasn't telling anyone about the 'talking to dead people' thing that'd happened in the other universe.

He nodded. "So, I'm glad you're back in one piece." He gave a reassuring smile.

"Awesome," Hurley said. "After Tahiri and her whole... yeah. Awesome."

Hurley just nodded. "...you want me to go?" he said.
