Hi. [The journal feed starts unceremoniously.] Noticed the village is getting back into the swing of things. Either that or those who are sulking are doing so more quietly. Good luck with that, whichever.

But hey. I'm looking for a lighter that I misplaced. Anyone comes across it, lemme know. Thanks.

[Through the afternoon and evening, Shikamaru can be found in various places around the village: digging through things in shops, searching through grass and shrubs and so on. He hasn't been around the village much in the last two days, busy elsewhere with his deer.

Now it almost seems like he's making up for it. One minute you might walk past him digging through the trash behind a building, only to go in to find he's inside already (probably asking if the place has a lost and found). Someone's busy.]

[As he talks, he gets caught up the story, but he also peers closer to get a better look at what might be the end of another pipe sticking out from a box.]

Yeah, a long time ago. It wasn't that long after the three of us started traveling together. She pretended to be an Earthbender to get captured by the Fire Nation so we could find out whether they were being taken and freed them. We were able to save her and the other Earthbenders, but we didn't realize she had left her necklace behind until it was too late.

[He gleefully sticks it in his mouth, and with an appreciative smile he continues.]

I tried making her a new one with Sokka's fishing line, but she only wore it a little. But we found out that the Fire Nation had gotten it and first they tried to use it to make her help us [Zuko must have been really silly for thinking that would work.], but then they tried to use it to track us. That was... well it was Zuko who had it, that's when he was on the other side. [He feels Shikamaru's trusted enough that he probably knows about Zuko's allegiance shift already, so no need to be discreet about it.] They tracked us to a town, and we were able to escape them, but before we got away I was able to snatch the necklace back from Zuko without anyone even noticing.

[It did seem so much simpler than. Most of the problems back then seemed so relatively solveable. But it probably helps that Zuko wasn't much older than them and always had good in him.]

Thanks. She was real happy when she got it back and I got a kiss on the cheek. [A moment to laugh.] But if I find your thing, I think I'll just go with one of those handshake things.

Okay! I think I know those.

[He holds a sophisticated pose with the pipe for the moment before pulling out another box to look over.]

What's a bro code?

[Cups. This box... is just... cups. All cups.]

Oh. But I never learned it. Is it like being honorable to girls?
savedtheworld: (friendly)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-10-11 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, if you say so. I place lots of value on my friendships already!

[He tries to skim through the next box, which is mostly photo albums.]

I guess I try to be kinder with girls... but Toph's kinda different.

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-10-11 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense! Now that I think about it, that's probably why the monks raised boys and girls in different temples. I didn't have any girl f- friends who are girls until I met Katara... and then Suki and Toph.
savedtheworld: (eager)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-10-11 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think there were a bunch of reasons! But it still makes sense to think of it like that. So I have to make sure I'm doing the right things for my friends who are guys, then.

[And then he switches to his next box.]
savedtheworld: (wtf)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2012-10-11 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait a second. [He drops the box he's holding, which luckily doesn't have anything breakable, and the pipe droops out of his mouth. This is a very important point. Something that absolutely must be clarified.]

I don't hug guys?
