021 -- [Action]
[Today when Shikamaru woke up to his morning routine of journal stalking, there was a mission notice waiting for him. Fantastic. But you reap what you sow with these things...
Shikamaru spends the next few hours going over everything he thinks he'll need for this mission before heading out of his apartment. Most of his plans for the week are on hold (again) but there's still a few things he wanted to take care of; people to see.
In particular, he'll seek out Ino and Naruto, stopping to talk to most of his friends from home too, if he sees them. Give them a heads up on where he's at for the next week or so. After that he'll head into the square in the mid-afternoon in search of one Albert Silverberg. Masaomi is next, though Shikamaru will actually bother hailing him over the journals if he doesn't see him. Same for Sokka, if he can't find him at the smithy or the Avatar House.
Even if he isn't seeking anyone else out, he'll still stop to speak to people he knows if he runs into them today. Especially if they came along into the tunnels during that last experiment. Curiosity, mainly - he wants to know if anyone's doing better now.
Feel free to catch him anywhere in town this afternoon. Until he finds Albert, he'll be the guy carting around a shogi board under one arm.]

Alright, I get it. I'll take care for him while you're gone.
no subject
[He didn't want to leave him with Naruto... or Shino... or Kiba... and yeah, let's not even put Sai on the table.]
no subject
[Yeah, she thinks of that too. Tenten might also turn him into a moving target practice. :|a]
no subject
[Yeah, he could foresee that too. 8|]

[Which might just enrage her more, but hey, Ino's just kidding here.]
no subject
[He reaches down to pet Kenta briefly before nudging him back into the apartment.]
no subject
[She watches him pet the cat with a fond smile.]
no subject
[He stands back up, leaving that statement as it is.]
I'll bring him by tomorrow before I leave, and his food and stuff. It's not a lot.
no subject
Alright, sounds like a plan. He doesn't claw on people's clothes, right?

[Maybe he should have her babysit Kenta more often. 8|a]
no subject
[Why torture her so, Shikamaru?]
no subject
[Because it's an excellent tactic he can't pass up. He loves you, Ino, really.]
I'll talk to you later, then. Got a few other people I need to see today.
no subject
[Dismissive hand wave:] Alright, go and say your farewells. I'll see you later.
no subject
See ya.
