028 -- [Voice || Action]

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.]

[Yep. Cheaters alright. But Aang is too baffled to try to bring that up.]

Are you gonna be okay?

[Shikamaru nods, quietly admitting to his own weakness. This is the longest he's maintained a clone though, so it's still something to be proud of. He lets the clone do the talking again.]

We're fine. Doing this is troublesome, is the thing. Takes more energy than the boss is used to.

[And with that, the clone waves before bring his hands up to dispel himself.]

[It's still a big shock for a Shikamaru to disappear.]

Shikamaru!

[That doesn't feel a hundred percent better - the clone was working too - but it is more comfortable. Shikamaru sags a little, but seems unbothered.]

Don't sweat it, Aang. He was a Shadow Clone. That's what they do.

A... Shadow Clone? Is that like one of your shadow abilities? [He hasn't learned much about Shikamaru's shadowbending, actually, aside from it's ability to make puppet shows. But for now he's mostly concerned about whether or not a sentient life was just extinguished.]
endgames: (Well)

Not quite. A friend who is much better at using them is teaching me.

[Shikamaru will probably catch onto that later. Clones are a basic feat of their world, in the milder version.]

Oh, really? Well you... you seem good at it. Must make those ninja missions easier.
endgames: (That so?)

Ha.

[It's taking forever, but he'd rather not get into that.]

Anyways. It was easier to search the place with another pair of eyes - and then a third with you. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome, Shikamaru. I'm sorry I couldn't find it.

No worries.

[He wasn't expecting them to. He turns to go.]

I'll make it up to you later too.

You don't have to. Just a thing friends do for each other. But I'll seeya around.
endgames: (Later)

[For something as valuable as this, he feels the need to. But he won't explain - just raise a hand in farewell as he goes out the door.]
