endgames: (No seriously)

012 -- [Voice || Action]

Show of hands if someone tried to prank you yesterday.

[Annoyed as he sounds, he's mostly gotten over it. Simply put, Shikamaru is just too lazy to hold a grudge when it comes to most things. He's still curious, however.

...but no longer orange, thankfully.]


------

[Later on, just before evening, Shikamaru can be found on his way back from the Item's Shop to CH 1, a certain book in tow. And for a book that stands at half his height and is nearly two feet thick when closed, we do mean tow. He'll be taking frequent breaks along his way back, dropping the book with a loud thud before sitting beside it on every bench he comes across.]


Damn thing weighs more than Temari's fan...

[Yeah, yeah, he's pretty weak for a ninja, he knows, but hey. The book does weigh about a hundred pounds or more. 8|

A passerby might catch him during one of those breaks, looking over it's contents in curiosity while the light is still good outside. But from there it's back to lugging it home.

The Nara Clan's medicine manual... the old man would kick my ass if I just left it lying around.]

[Running to catch up as he stops for a break.]

Hey, Shikamaru! Whatcha got there?
markofthebrave: (Oh? | That's Interesting | Curiouser and)

[ action ]

[She noticed.]

It's huge.

[Poking at it.] What are you doing with it?
markofthebrave: (Well | I See)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She glances up at him.]

You're going to lug this thing all the way up to the fourth floor? It's half as tall as I am!
markofthebrave: (Wry Smile)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you did... [but... stairs.] But maybe you should call Chouji? He can help you get it up the stairs.

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Because that sounds exactly like Chouji.]

Too busy to help --

[--Oh.

Shit.

And for a moment her hands clench tightly at her sides.]
markofthebrave: (Well | I See)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
-- with this huge book? What is this thing anyway? I've never seen a book this big before.
markofthebrave: (<_<)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
And it's from your home?

[Katara's oblivious to the fact that she's been found out - but if he wants distractions from his thoughts, she has no problem pouring out dozens of curious questions.]
markofthebrave: (Oh? | That's Interesting | Curiouser and)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, really?

[...]

Are all the books in your world this big?

[Go on. Laugh. You know you want to.]
markofthebrave: (A Little Bit Sly)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Couldn't you just climb up on top of this thing?

[It's so huge.]
markofthebrave: (Smile!)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Can't have that. [A quick smile.] So why is this book so big?
markofthebrave: (Unamused | Rain On My Parade [Sokka])

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives him A Look.]

Ha, ha.

[And then the look slides into something more neutral.] But seriously, wouldn't it make more sense to use a couple of books instead of one really big one. One... really, really big one?
markofthebrave: (Well | I See)

[ action ]

[personal profile] markofthebrave 2011-04-06 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She eases away from it infinitesimally, instinctively at that.]

So it's more stuff that your clan was guarding?

[Like your shadow jutsu?]
