Junon, Gaia, Thursday Afternoon

Junon, Reno supposed, wasn't half bad. Sure as hell better than Edge, which he couldn't wait to get the hell out of, especially after that weird-assed argument in Tseng's kitchen.

Tseng's ex-kitchen, Reno supposed.

He was sitting in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on one of the city's lower levels, the world's crappiest coffee slowly dissolving a coffee mug in one hand, waiting for somebody in particular. He'd left Edge a little early, dragged a few of the boxes of paperwork along with him so that Rude wouldn't have to haul it all here, and then he'd started to poke around.

Yeah, Junon had suffered a bit since WEAPON's attack. But then, where the hell hadn't?

... Besides Kalm. Lucky, lucky-assed Kalm.

[Open for anyone who might want to call, or who has reason to be in Junon!]

Ino knew better than to say anything like 'I shouldn't be' and 'why aren't I dead too' because those, at least, had been entirely up to luck.

She'd done nothing to cause the disaster, nothing to be blamed for. Luck, and her father for protecting her.

And now she was clinging and trying not to sniffle too much because somehow, even when all she wanted to do was cry forever it was... too embarrassing, in public. "S-Sorry," she mumbled, "for th-this..."

But she wasn't letting go just yet.
intraspective: (stare)

She nodded and buried her face against him and gave herself the time to just--breathe and try and find some sort of stability again before trying to say anything further.

Not full out crying, but shaking and just clinging and a few tears snuck out anyway.

Eventually, she loosened her grip on him and pulled away slightly. "I..."
intraspective: (pretty armband)

She sat.

Because sitting sounded at about the perfect speed for her to do right now. And toyed with her hair and tried to figure out how tar and tea worked together and came up with...

More questions than she ever really wanted to think about tea.

"I'm okay," she said, muted and it was so very obviously not true that it was pathetic.

Long forever.

She hitched her shoulders because it was better than her breath hitching. "Sorry," Ino fumbled, "didn't mean to... take so long."
intraspective: (stare)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ino blinked at him. "You were going to be here anyway, right?"

She was pretty sure she remembered that.

"It made sense."
intraspective: (stare in shadow)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Here?" She blinked at him. "Yeah, he did. He's sleepin' right now."

She probably should be, but Ino doubted it would happen.
intraspective: (gazing down thoughtfully)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't be able to sleep," she admitted, honestly. "And we--we can get our own room, if it's a hassle. We've got the Gil."

No, really. They had the Gil.

She looked down, peered at him through her eyelashes while thinking, not sure what to say or where to start just glad as hell to be--where he was. He was one of the few people she felt safe around, in this particular way.

"D-Does--" she shook her head and cleared her throat. Tried again. "Does it make me a bad person to have left as soon as we could get a portal out of--?"

Konoha? Home? It hadn't felt like home even before things had gone to hell.
intraspective: (erm listening)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
"But you couldn't," she said, sounding a bit--dull. "And I shouldn't have 'cause I wear a hitae-ite and am counted as a shinobi of Konoha."

And then she'd run away.
intraspective: (civilian)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
She studied the table--not in the best repair, but sturdy enough--and didn't look at him.

"Ain't really--thought."

That was... partly a lie. It was an answer that didn't need a great deal of thought on her part.
intraspective: (seriously now)

[personal profile] intraspective 2010-12-31 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ino glanced up at him, a world of emotions swirling in her eyes.

"That ain't even something that needs thought."
intraspective: (stare)

"It sounds so stupid," she sighed, closing those eyes of hers and looking tired, beyond tired, for a moment. "Followin' love, no?"
