[Forward-dated to early Tuesday morning - Unfortunately for you, Luceti, the paperweight Shikamaru usually keeps on his journal seems to have been knocked off during the night. If he knew, he might apologize for the BLARING alarm clock as it goes off at six in the morning.

But he doesn’t, so instead you get complaining.]

Nn… again? Forgot I set the thing… [BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. And a sigh. He could get up and get it. It’s annoying enough that he considers! But… it’s also a whole five feet away. Is that much effort worth it this early in the morning?]

How troublesome. [APPARENTLY NOT. He opts to instead bury his head under his pillow and go back to sleep.

But fear not. Lazy geniuses may not be so genius when they have to wake up early in the morning, but a certain dangerouswind of his is troublesome no matter what time it is. That ringing will probably last no more than a minute or two before getting cut off loudly. And violently.]




[…MUCH LATER. After a trek in his pj’s through the snow: a secret transmission from the restaurant.]

[Filtered from Temari || 100% Unhackable]

…I need clothes. Preferably something warmer than pajamas. Shoes would be nice. I’d offer something in return, but money’s out for obvious reasons, and it’s not like I have much else to offer. [Long pause. He’s desperate enough.] But by all means – if anyone else can think of something, I’m all ears at this point.

[He’ll offer Chouji’s cooking if he has to. Okay, and maybe he’ll do something himself. He’s going to regret this, isn’t he.]

[ooc: First response is obviously reserved |D IT'S ALL GOOD]

Okay.

[...] How long have you two been dating?

[ action ]

[endgames]

A couple of months. [He snorts.] Great track record so far, I know.

[A couple of months? She almost had it, that thing that was bothering her (why hadn't he introduced her as his girlfriend?), but she's distracted by his second comment.]

Well, if you two really care about each other, I'm sure you'll work it out.

[ action ] 1/2

[endgames]

[...that comment makes him think. Do they still love each other?]

...Yeah. We'll manage somehow.

[ action ]

[endgames]

[And then before they can take that subject line any further, he stands.]

Anyways. I need to go find Chouji and get my shoes. I'll get Sokka's clothes back to you as soon as I can, all right?

[ action ]

[markofthebrave]

Sure, take your time. Eat something warm - you don't look like you're suffering from hypothermia, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And... good luck.

[Not the best time to bring up Legato. She'll talk to him about it later.]

[ action ]

[endgames]

Thanks. See ya around.

[There's a lazy salute - and then some short difficulty as he tries to shove his hands into jean pockets - and then he's out the door.]
