Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center , Wednesday

[intraspective]

It wasn't, really, that Ino was irritated at having to go to work, but more that she was in the mood for a good brood and that was hard to do when you had to be somewhere. So.

Ino was at work, because as if she'd call in sick when she wasn't, and murmuring to her plants as she made her way around the place on her weekly inspection of them. Okay, so maybe the plants were helping her mood. Just a little. Flopping down in Cable-san's chair, Ino pulled out a notebook and made an effort to study.

Talk to Ino

Prince Edward bounded in and made his way straight to Ino. Lucky for him, he knew she worked here on Wednesdays.

"Ino! Greetings on this fine day!"

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

Oh. Dear. Lord.

"Hello to you too," she said, blinking at him and distinctly unsure of--oh no, had she made a friend of him? Ack. "It's nice enough out, I guess."

[XD As always, Ino's thoughts are totally not mine, mwhahahaha.]

Re: Talk to Ino

He quirked a brow, considered her expression for a second. "Not feeling well?"

[Hee. I know! It's what I looooove about their interactions! Muahahaha!]

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"In a manner of speaking?" Ah, diplomacy. It was better than 'I'm trying to brood and you bring, like, sunshine everywhere you go'.

...

...though maybe sunshine wasn't such a bad thing today. Huuuh. That was distressing. "Just a bit off today," she said, shrugging a bit. "But, you know, had to work anyway."

Re: Talk to Ino

Awww. He smiled cutely at her. "Would you like a warm hug? They do work tremendously well, dear Ino."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She considered him.

Really, she'd already told Liir to visit just for. . . pretty much the exact same thing (Ino liked hugs, okay?) and so, well. . . .there was no real reason to refuse, right?

"I suppose," she said, smiling a bit. "If you wouldn't mind?"

Re: Talk to Ino

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"I would not mind in the least," he told her happily, opening his arms.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Fine," she sighed, pretending it was an Awful Big Deal as she went to hug him.

Re: Talk to Ino

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

Edward simply grinned, embracing her tight. "You should smile, dear Ino. You are so lovely when you do."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"My ego thanks you," she said dryly, "but I'm fairly sure you think every girl is lovely."

Nonetheless, she gave him a bit of a smile.

Re: Talk to Ino

[defeats-buses.livejournal.com]

"Not every girl," he teased. Yes, every girl was lovely.

Pulling back, he beamed down at her. "I have an idea, Ino. Would you like to hear it?" He blinked big blue hopeful eyes at her.

Liir came, as he'd promised, and brought with him a couple of daifuku and a cup of hot green tea.

"Not too early, am I?"

He'd taken his lunch break a little closer to AM than PM.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Not too early," she said, smiling for him. "Though you might have wished later that your break was a bit later."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I'm used to longer days," he said with a shake of his head, "and more unpleasant duties. I'll be fine. And how are you?"

He placed the food on the counter and came around to offer an arm for a hug.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"Better," she said, giving him a hug. "Edward gave me a hug earlier, and that helped a bit too."

Even though Edward was insane.

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Edward?" he questioned, since he wasn't-- "oh yes, your, er, singing partner. That's good."

Liir gave her a faint squeeze.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She banged her head lightly against him. "So mean," Ino said, "totally not my idea, that."

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You sang very well, though," he told her, making sure not to laugh even if he did smile a little.

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

She wrinkled her nose at him. "I'd be less put out if I didn't know that a lot of people probably showed up just to laugh, which I can't blame them, I'd have been no better. But, yeah. I can sing, I just don't do it in public much."

Humming and singing to her plants didn't count as public.

Re: Talk to Ino

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"My mother used to sing a little," he admitted with a shrug.

"According to Nanny, she hated doing it in the choir for her father, but I caught her humming and such on occasion. She'd stop when she noticed I was there, but it was nice."

He looked over at her.

"There wasn't really anything to laugh at, though. Except maybe the lyrics and I can't see those as your fault."

Re: Talk to Ino

[intraspective]

"No," she agreed, "the lyrics were all Edward. Silly catchy songs. I don't know--I'm not shy, but getting on a stage is different, you know?"
