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.]

[What the woman does he has no bearing on - all that's important to him is that the man offer.]
[ action ]
[He should recognize that a lot of the venom has gone out of her tone, but that it's a fragile moment which can tilt either way.
Fortunately, he's started to remind her of someone else. Someone... blond. With a curly eyebrow. She's had this sort of conversation before, and just... sigh.]
[ action ]
Just shouldn't. [It's how the laws of his universe work.]
[ action ] 1/2
And she facepalms, slides the hand down her face and mutters while her hand is covering her mouth:]
At least you'll hit girls.
[So she doesn't have to worry so much about his safety.]
[ action ]
[ action ]
How troublesome. [But he nods; turns around again.] Later.
[ action ]
[It still feels wrong to walk away and leave him carrying that, but...
Men are weird. So what else is new?]
