Devil's Nest, Wednesday 2/13

Valentine's Day wasn't something Kabuto really knew or cared about. He paid no attention to it, and really, he had more on his mind anyway. Like the week before, he left Musubi in charge of the bar and went to the lounge to write.

The Bar

Mod your service!

The Lounge

Where Kabuto is (unknowingly?) mimicking Lucifer by not actually tending the bar.

The Dance Floor

Classical music. Good for waltzing, actually.

Sorry this is up late. Have been having a crampy day of pain. Ugh.
intraspective: (stretch)

Ino was tired. Work had been busy and she'd been up since three so by all rights she should probably be in bed and sleeping.

Yet... she wandered into the Devil's Nest and glanced around. Spotting Kabuto she tilted her head and asked, "The bar not good enough for you tonight?" It wasn't hello, but it would do.

"I have other things to do. It's usually quiet, anyway." The carding policy really didn't help for business. Kabuto scritched a few more notes down before looking up at Ino. "Can I help you?"
intraspective: (only time)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Haven't seen you in a few days," she said, wandering over to him, "wanted to."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Kabuto asked archly.
intraspective: (hateyouso)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"What?" she asked irritably, "I'm not allowed to want to see you?"

Ino needed sleep.

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You haven't wanted to lately," Kabuto pointed out.
intraspective: (don't need this)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Have so," Ino retorted crossly, curling up on the couch next to him, "don't be stupid."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm." Kabuto glanced over at her. "Have you been busy?"
intraspective: (either way thoughtful)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Been up since three," she muttered, leaning against him slightly without actually thinking about what she was doing, it was just that he was there and she was tired... yeah, "and the store was so busy today."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Were you training?" Kabuto asked, putting his arm around Ino.
intraspective: (relax)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Did a bit," she said, relaxing against him, "but mostly I just couldn't sleep. Then I had a spear lesson with Cable-san, and Lana's fighting lesson, and then there were more people. So busy."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"And why are you here instead of sleeping?" Kabuto chided gently, closing his notebook and putting it aside.
intraspective: (uh huh)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
He got a withering look marred by a yawn. "Because you're here."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh?" Kabuto smiled, shifting so she could lean against him. "It couldn't wait until tomorrow?"
intraspective: (better than you)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Busy tomorrow," she said, very definitely leaning on him by now, "Liir's taking me flying, then I've got class. And you'd probably be busy with research."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Since I don't have any classes tomorrow, it's entirely possible." He shrugged slightly, trying not to disturb her. "Did you need to see me for something specific?"
intraspective: (wibble)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
There was a distinctly thoughtful silence, then...

Ino peeked up at him. "Come to the dance with me."

It wasn't, exactly, a question.

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Dance?" Kabuto had heard about it, but he hadn't given it much thought.
intraspective: (don't need this)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, dance," Ino said snappishly, "where people dress up and, shockingly enough, dance. It's on Friday."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Didn't we do that once before?" He was mostly just being difficult, since Ino was in such a snappy mood. He liked making her angry.
intraspective: (hateyouso)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
She retaliated with an elbow to his ribs. "That," she scathed, "was for a different holiday."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmph." Kabuto held back a grin. "Do all holidays have to have a social gathering based around them?"
intraspective: (wrath)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
She elbowed him again. Then once more for good measure. "Kabuto," Ino protested, "you should know this stuff."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not allowed to ask questions?" Kabuto gave her an innocent look. "Besides...wouldn't you prefer to go with someone else?"
intraspective: (hey!)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I want to go with you," she half-snarled, bluntly honest.

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
"..." Kabuto blinked at her honestly, then smiled and gave Ino a little squeeze. "Well, then. When did you want me to pick you up?"
intraspective: (joy!)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
It was her turn to blink. "You mean it? You'll come?"

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Why not?"
intraspective: (either way thoughtful)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't like dances much, it seems," Ino said, fiddling with his shirt sleeve, "and with... everything... I wasn't sure you would."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"If you don't want to go, Ino, then don't ask," Kabuto teased gently.
intraspective: (temperance)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Her head rested against his side. "I have to go," she said, closing her eyes briefly, then glancing up at him, "Liir conned me into it. But if I'm going then I wanted to go with you."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, well, if you're going anyway, you don't need me to go..." Kabuto was definitely teasing.
intraspective: (hey!)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
She was waaay too tired for his kind of teasing.

"I want you to go!" Ino said furiously, eyes flashing, "with me."

"And I asked when you wanted me to pick you up, but you never told me when," Kabuto pointed out.
intraspective: (don't need this)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Friday," Ino said moodily, "early evening-ish."

Re: The Lounge

[identity profile] sound-loyalty.livejournal.com 2008-02-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
"All right, then. I'll make sure to knock at about that time." Taking one of Ino's hands, Kabuto kissed the back of it. "I promise."
intraspective: (only time)

Re: The Lounge

[personal profile] intraspective 2008-02-14 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
He got a sleepy, very soft smile in return. "Thank you," she said quietly, "for wanting to go with me."
