Reno's (& Elena's) place, Edge, Gaia, Saturday Early Evening

[intraspective]

It was kinda funny how she was getting used to being cold.

Not that she'd complain to Reno about it—what the hell was he going to do? Give her another blanket? As if she was going to let him do that when he was the one that was painfully thin and had to feel it more—or anything but, still. She was pretty sure she hadn't been properly warm since getting to Edge and that? That was totally not cool.

Ino was glad, at least, that it wasn't too windy right now. Drafts were demon-things. She tucked the blanket she was using around her feet more securely and went back to her reading, on the couch, while Reno played with Mako. (Or, well, Mako waged war or something and Reno didn't seem to mind. Ino wasn't paying that much attention to them, honestly; her book was pretty good.)

As far as she was concerned they could totally do this for a little while longer before going to look for fun. Mako wasn't tired yet. Ino was cold and didn't feel like moving.

Which, of course, was when someone knocked on the door.

Ino turned the page in her book. "You get it, yo," she told Reno impishly. "Rookie is lazy."

[For the one she's talkin' to! NFB due to distance.]

Comments

"Probably more effective that way, anyhow," he decided, giving his head a shake, and then moving to put the cap back on the bottle. "Wouldn't say no to the company, neither."

Even if she wasn't Rude.

"I am excellent company," she informed him. "And, yeah, you'll be seeing me for sure 'round here."

Even if her wallet was going to have a heart attack. Lucky for her that hunting monsters meant she got money from them.

[raspberryturk]

Monster killing was easily the most lucrative business on Gaia. Next to, of course, owning a power company.

"Lookin' forward to it, Rookie." There was another pause, and then he was shooting her a little grin. "What say we get the hell offa the curb now, huh?"

[intraspective]

Yeah, that would be Ino, up in a flash and at the door.

"Blankets," she chirped--not as brightly as normal, but still, she wasn't going to brood where he could fuss at her. "And Mako has got to be wanting company by now, huh? Come on, let's go in."

[raspberryturk]

Reno wasn't so quickly to his feet, no, but he was hauling himself up and sauntering along after her at his own comfortable pace nevertheless.

"Right behind you, Rookie," he replied, shoving the bottle into his pocket, followed after by his hand. "Almost suppertime anyhow, yo."
