023 -- [Accidental Post]
[Earlier, when looking through his father’s book for the first time in several months, Shikamaru found some pictures he’d never seen before being used as bookmarks. It was… nostalgic, to say the least.
He finds another bookmark to replace them; puts the photos in a drawer to look at later. Because haha, he knows how this works, right? He leaves them out, and somehow his journal accidentally records it. Yeah. Hell no. He’s smarter than that and doesn’t leave his journal anywhere near them. On top of that, he takes it with him when he leaves to assist with a chakra training lesson. Crisis averted!
Guess what he sees when he opens up his journal two hours later.
Where’s the nearest wall. He needs to beat his head softly against it while he attempts to figure out how this happened. Feel free to action it up when he’s back at CH1 too, if you like.]

How's this?
[ Action ]
[Let's just stick it closer to the river. He'll drag it over. Asuma can pick out a cool place to spectate.]
[ Action ]
[ Action ]
Snake. Rat. Snake. Tiger.
If Asuma's seeing those, he may have a good idea of what's coming next.]
[ Action ]
Seriously, color him impressed. ]
[ Action ]
Almost too focused. While he carefully measures just enough spewed ash to surround the log, he doesn't catch the light breeze coming in until the last second. He sparks the flint to ignite before it can spread it anywhere, but that was a close one.
BUT HE GOT THE LOG.]
[ Action
Look at that, your sensei's so proud. ]
Good job.
[ Action ]
[He wipes at his mouth, kicking the log into the river to put it out and walking back over.
Anyone else would be beaming at the praise. A lop-sided grin is the equivalent for Shikamaru.]
[ Action ]
[ And he'll pat his shoulder, before turning to start walking. ]
So, barbecue?
[ Action ]
[Remember the days when he used to gripe about having to make a handseal? He's long done with that.
...but breaks are still good.]
[ Action ]
[ Because yes breaks are wonderful. And also he hasn't eaten since early this morning, so he's hungry. ]
[ Action ]
That works too. And something about shoes so Ino can chime in.
[Not that she needs an excuse, but it is the little things.]
[ Action ]
[ The little things are always what's important. ]
