Room 504, Thursday Evening

[intraspective]

Ino had whined at her dad until he'd sent her weapons catalogues, and getting a lengthy lecture on how she wasn't to take up anything that would have her neglect her other studies (ha, as if) and was sprawled out in her favourite jammies flipping idly through the magazines and pausing on a page that detailed some of the types of unbreakable wires they had.

Interesting, she admitted, making a note to go back and maybe get some more wire later, but really, she needed a weapon that was better for close range.

Humming idly along to Ikimono-gakari, she flipped the next page, and kicked her feet idly. It was totally a nice relaxing way to spend an evening. Dorky music and weapons—how better?

[Ooopen door and post, yes.]

Comments

"It's pretty," Zack decided, in his own friends-with-Ino sort of way.

Give him a moment, and he'd have his hand out of his glove. Because see, it was one thing to play with pretty hair. It was totally another thing to be able to feel it directly under your fingers while you were doing so.

"And soft," he added. Because that seemed important just then.

FRIENDS.

[intraspective]

Totally just friends!

Mmm. "You can do that for forever," she decided, closing her eyes. "Seriously."

[puppy_fair]

"I'll give it my best attempt," Zack decided, and now he was losing his other glove, too. All the better for playing with Ino's hair, after all. "But I can't make any promises that I won't fall asleep somewhere around maybe day four."

He was kind of like the Energizer Bunny, yes. Why?

[intraspective]

"You can sleep when I'm sleeping," she told him, a melty relaxy Ino curled up against him. Haaappy. "That way there's breaks and stuff."

She was generous!

"...Unless I'm dreaming poorly," Ino continued, not really thinking about what she was saying. "Then you might want to keep it up."

[puppy_fair]

"I guess that means I'm supposed to watch you while you're sleeping, or something, huh?" Zack was paying enough attention to the situation as a whole, around playing with the hair in his hands, to be able to pause and raise an eyebrow a little. "Creepy."

[intraspective]

Her laugh shook her shoulders at that. "Wouldn't you be anyway, if you were doing it for days on end?"

[puppy_fair]

Huh. She did have a point, there.

"Maybe I'll have to learn how to braid hair in my sleep..."

Or, you know, how to braid hair in general.

[intraspective]

Ino wasn't going to stop with the shaking shoulders anytime soon, no.

"I give you permission to practise on me," she said generously. "But maybe try it while you're awake first."

While she was awake too, for that matter, just so she could get the full benefit of it.

...Totally just friends. Absolutely.
