Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Wednesday

[intraspective]

Ino had a Mission. And, no, it wasn’t one she’d given herself. As such, once she’d opened the store (dusting, and cleaning, and fussing with her plants for a good while longer than the rest of it combined) she curled up with a notebook and started writing furiously.

And plotting. And considering the logistics of it all. Hmmm.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

Someone came in with ice cream in a bowl.

It was, in fact, her brother but he also came with ice cream.

"Ino?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Hiiii!" she chirped brightly, but not looking up from her notebook.

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He pouted. Terribly.

"I bring you ice cream, made from scratch, and not even a smile."

He sounded terribly put out.

"Will I need ribbons and bells to get your attention?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Ino blinked. Then glanced up.

"Ice cream?"

A beat.

"Ribbons and bells are always a good thing too." Said the rolls of film she still needed to get developed.

He put the bowl in front of her.

"I put chocolate in this batch just for you," he said as he leaned on the counter.

"What're you up to, hmm?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

He'd probably be rather surprised when she reached across the counter to hug him, careful not to hit the ice cream. "Best brother ever."

"Plotting," she said impishly. "And planning. And it's for a mission."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Not surprised at all. More surprised at what she said. Surprised and pleased.

"I try." And she was hugged back.

He nodded to the paper.

"Mission? Is this something I should make sure I have no knowledge of so that when they question me, I can honestly say I don't have the faintest idea?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Ino sat neatly on the counter so she wouldn't really have to move away from him and beamed.

"Nope!" she told him. "Because it's a good mission. Even Cable-san would approve of it."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Aha. Then may I ask what sort of mission it is, other than good?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Finding a way to get food to people who need it in Reno's world," she said, leaning against him and reaching for her ice cream. "They're having transportation issues and can't carry much with them in one trip so people are... yeah, in bad shape."

A firm little nod. "I'm going to fix it."

Ino was so desperately glad for something to focus her energy on. She'd needed a mission. Badly.

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I have no doubts you will."

He leaned over to look.

"What have you got so far?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She wrinkled her nose a bit. "Not a whole lot?" There were half done letters and scribbled little notes in the margins in japanese. "I've got an idea, but I need information from home about it."

...

"Which, yeah, is a bit... interesting, since I haven't been writing home, so... yeah..."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow.

"No luck at writing letters either?"

He turned to lean against the counter.

"I've been trying to write something to Trism for weeks and nothing I want to write sounds in the least interesting. I've wasted nearly a whole notebook."

He looked up at her on the counter.

"You could ask Hinata."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"I thought 'bout that," she said. "But Hinata's already told me that anything she asks her Dad winds up in my Dad's hands eventually. And Hinata's style of fighting doesn't lend itself to asking about this anymore than mine does..."

She paused. That did give her a bit of an idea. Ino grabbed her notebook and scribbed in: Hinata could ask Tenten?

"...tell him you were a kitten?" A beat. "I can send pictures!"

"He'd probably either think I was mad or be sad he'd missed it. He likes working with animals."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"You were adorable," Ino said. She'd totally spent a bit of time pouting that he was gone. "Cuddly. And, see, that's a good reaction to know. If he thinks you're entirely mad just from being a cat, well, he'd never really get Fandom, right?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I would think me entirely mad from being a cat if I hadn't been here," he pointed out. "And you're not the only one who misses me being a cat."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Cuddly," she said again, pouting a bit because, clearly, the cuddly overruled any madness. "And you're not mad, in any way."

Mmmm, ice cream.

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't be surprised if he felt the same way."

He smirked, just a little. A private joke.

"How is it? The ice cream?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She eyed him, spoon in her mouth, and then poked him in the side.

"It's chocolate," she said, after a moment. "You know I adore it."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I do," he said as he leaned away from the poke.

"And it's nothing," to the eyeing, "though..."

He looked at Ino.

"I don't suppose I explained everything. With Trism, that is."
