033 -- [Action]
[In anticipation of a witch hunt, Shikamaru left the village a solid week or more ago for a spot he could wait things out and do as he liked. After John's report to the village, he trained with Twila's powers some and checked out the barrier. He never forgot that looming detail - that a deadline was approaching - but it wasn't the loudest though to linger in his mind.
"I've let your new attitude and wings slide, because we're friends. But it's starting to make you do things you wouldn't normally in a bad way. You should get it together."
It's troublesome but not untrue, which means that comes before anything else. Control is the name of the game here. Twila catered to his apathy, and while there's something nice about not feeling sad or anxious anymore, until they split ways he's going to be the one calling the shots. And after that week... he is for the most part, and ready to take care of things.]
[Since it's hard telling over the journals how much things settled in the village, so on June 9th he makes his way back on his very best behavior. Best. Maybe. PROVOKE HIM AND FIND OUT. He's still possessed by the start of the day, but in general, Shikamaru can be found attempting to mind himself while doing any of the following:
1. Observing people from high up places and making weirdly realistic shadow puppets to pass the time
2. Exploring the new parts of the tunnels
3. Searching out anyone he might have been an ass to, because he should make up for that 8|
One way or another he's back to normal by the end of the day, so people might find him in CH1 too after the fact.]

You're right. I should get to approaching them soon. The sooner we all know what we're leaving behind here, the more we can use that time appropriately.

[Maybe Neji could stay. Maybe he could go somewhere else. They tried that before...]

Don't worry about it. [It feels... good to care about these things again. That's all he can say. It's a stark change from this morning. He thinks about patting her on the shoulder, and offering more, but he's already done the best he could do here.] Let us know if you need anything else.

Don't worry about it. [He shifts his bowl of food once again, back to his hands, as he steps around her to go back to his apartment.] You'll do all right.
[They're all friends for a reason.]

Anyways, Tenten will go walking off. Her footsteps will carefully tap the ground instead of her usual carefree semi-team guy signature stomp. ]
