Wellspring Arms & Meditation Centre, Wednesday

[intraspective]

Yeah. Okay. So maybe handwavily doing a bit of night training had been a stupid idea when she had work the next day. Whatever. Planning ahead so wasn’t her forte.

Nonetheless, Ino showed up early as usual. What wasn’t so usual was the fact that she was clutching a pillow in one hand and a light blanket in the other. Setting those on the desk she wandered about the store making sure everything was clean and her plants were watered then switched the sign to Open.

Then she curled up in Cable-san’s chair with her pillow and blanket and closed her eyes. She’d wake up for customers. Really.

Maybe.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

You’ll have to wake her up though. Do you really want to wake her up?

At his usual time during the morning, Cable came downstairs with a cup of coffee, Tether skipping on into the meditation room. He passed by Ino on his way to the security panel, and came to a slight halt. Moving a few steps back, he checked her blanket.

He pulled away, mug still in hand, then paced soundlessly through the store to begin running through his usual checks.

She slept on, warm in her blanket, and undisturbed by his presence.

Lana showed up at her normal time and smiled at the sleeping Ino. She wasn't sure if she should wake her or just leave a note and head back to the dorms.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Ino shifted a bit as, very vaguely, the presence of someone else nearby registered. Her blanket slipped a little, from tugging too hard on the other side, and Ino's eyes opened a tiny bit to glare at it.

"Mmph," she informed her blanket, one hand sneaking up to shove a bit of hair out of her face as she took in the shop. Plant. Plant. Lana. Plant. Plant.

...

"... Lana?" she said sleepily, rubbing at her eyes.

Re: Talk to Ino

"Yes, it's me," Lana said quietly. "Want me to let you just go back to sleep?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

The fact that she seriously considered that probably said something about how tired she was.

"Nah," Ino said, blinking sleep out of her eyes and starting to look more alert, "what time is it? I think I've been sleeping for a good while anyway."

This was not to say that she wouldn't go right back to sleep once Lana had left.

Re: Talk to Ino

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Almost one," Lana said, looking a little concerned. "Are you okay? Are you not sleeping?" She certainly knew what that was like!

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Ino blinked. One? Already?

Huh.

"I'm fine," Ino said as she considered that, "and I've been sleeping. But I did a bunch of night training last night so..."

A shrug. Clearly Ino failed at planning ahead. At least Cable-san wasn't likely to mind.

Re: Talk to Ino

"That would do it, I bet," Lana said with a smile.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She looked sheepish. "Yeah, it would. But I promise I'm getting all the proper sleep otherwise."

Re: Talk to Ino

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Good," Lana said with a smile. "I'm glad to hear that."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"What about you? Still doing good?"

He was here to mention that he'd be missing a Sunday with her... but he didn't want to wake her up.

That said, he was a bit clumsy and sort of tripped over the doorsill.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Ino, who'd fallen back asleep after Lana had left, jerked awake at the noise.

"Wha-?" she said, blinking sleep out of her eyes and looking around, tugging her blanket up around her shoulders because it was more comfortable that way. "Liir?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He looked up at her sheepishly.

"Hello, Ino. How many other walking green beans do you know? Well, tripping."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She wrinkled her nose cheerfully at him, still wrapped in her blanket and leaning against her pillow. "Is being a sentient green bean a step up or a step down from being a sentient rump roast?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"A step up. Far less likely to be eaten, considering," he said. "And don't you look cozy?"

He grinned at her.

"I was just coming by to let you know I wouldn't be available during Spring Break for our sessions on Sunday."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Oh, I don't know... if you found someone who liked vegetables..." she flicked the edge of her blanket at him, "And I am cozy, even if it makes me the worst employee ever, or something." Somehow, she didn't think Cable-san would mind.

Blink.

"What?" Ino looked dismayed. "Why?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Professor Ambrose is bringing me to Oz to see if the Queen there might be able to help me with my little" he tapped his temple "problem."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"You're leaving," Ino pouted at him with big eyes. "Whatever shall I do to amuse myself?"

She looked thoughtful. "I wonder if my other brothers are leaving too," she mused, almost absently, then wrinkled her nose. "Ugh. Break's going to be so boring."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I suppose you'll have to--other brothers?"

He looked sideways at her.

Meditation Room

[intraspective]

Mod your meditation, or ask Ino to help.

Shooting Range

[intraspective]

It’s locked. Deal with it.

OOC

[intraspective]

My availability this week is totally wretched. Ugh. I pretty much won't be around at all until 5 p.m. CST so slowplay is definitely on the menu today. Yeah. Feel free to ping in anyway though!
