Room 504, Sunday Night

[intraspective]

Ino was sprawled out in her jammies, hair damp against her skull, and idly rereading her notes on the latest things her father wanted her to practice on.

Nibbling on candy (she'd totally got it on sale and ha, it was just as good bought as it would've been had she gone around to get it), Ino was in a good mood.

From the candy, from the studying, from what she'd gotten up to today?

Totally all of the above.

[Open door, open post!]

"Someone looks like the proverbial cat," Triela smiled as she leaned herself against the door frame.

[intraspective]

Ino preened.

"With cream, even," she admitted, gesturing at the candy she had spread around.

"What'd you do? Knock over a whole warehouse?"

[intraspective]

Her eyes brightened. "Do you think that there's a warehouse I could knock down? That'd be an interesting challenge..."

Ino paused, eyes sparkling. "And I cleaned out my closet today."

What? Smoochy had lived in her closet. She was telling the truth.

"Congratulations?" Triela offered teasingly with a grin.

[intraspective]

"I'd tell you more," she said, grin widening. "But silence is more prudent right now, you understand."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Aaaaah," Triela laughed. "Then double-congratulations."

[intraspective]

"Come on in," she said, gesturing to the bed. "And thank you. I'm going to be up 'till radio has gone on, for sure."

"Trying hard to contain yourself?" Triela teased as she walked into the room, and reflexively looked around in case someone was lurking in ambush.

[intraspective]

There was nothing there but the plants and Kabuto's snake, as per usual.

"Well," she said, laughing, "I want to see what dirt they got on me!"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"So what have you been up to besides covert newsworthy exploits?"

[intraspective]

"Studying new and exciting ways of using my powers," Ino answered promptly. "On Dad's orders."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Oh, neat," Triela grinned. "Anything you can talk about?"

[intraspective]

"I gotta buy a bird at some point," Ino said, glancing sideways at her. "You want to come with and watch my body while I figure out how to fly?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Triela shrugged. "But I bet you won't be much of a conversationalist will you?"

[intraspective]

"I could probably cheep at you once I figured out how," Ino offered, a bit sheepishly. "But not really. If I need to practice at home, Shikamaru tends to wind up cloud gazing."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm used to spending time with people who aren't all that talkative." She did have Hilshire, after all. And Claes for that matter.

[intraspective]

"And it'd be practice for you too," Ino pointed out. "In bodyguarding."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Are you actually expecting any threats, or do you just need to take precautions?"

[intraspective]

"Not any real threats against this body," she admitted. "The bird might be in danger from other predators, though. I'd rather not be eaten."

Really.

"And it's--good planning, to have someone 'round."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"It is," Triela agreed. "And what would happen to you if you were in the bird when it got eaten?"

[intraspective]

"Long as it wasn't instant death? I'd be able to end my jutsu," she answered. "In the case of instant death..."

Ino shrugged.

"Well."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Right." Triela shook her head. "I rather like my own body."

[intraspective]

Ino gave that another shrug.

"God any issues with my powers?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Not really," Triela shook her head. "I can see how they'd be useful, but I think I prefer not having them myself."
