There had better be a good reason why I'm fighting- [ A grunt is followed by the sound of flesh being punctured. ]- against these blood-thirsty... things and why I'm not in Konoha.

[ Ino is not very happy. Or informed, actually, because she left as soon as she came to. ]

[reassures]

Oh-- really?

[Well, she would like to get to know Ino... she was important to Shika, after all.]

I'd like to!

[blondejokes]

Perfect! Are you busy the day after tomorrow?

[ She should be all 'settled in' by then. ]

[reassures]

[So straightforward...!]

I have work, but there should be time to go, I think.

[blondejokes]

Where do you work?

[reassures]

Oh-- I have two jobs! I clean for Mr. Gold at his pawn shop, Crossroads, and I work at the bar at the Cat's Eye.

[blondejokes]

Wow, that must keep you pretty busy. We can postpone the beach trip until your day off if you want.

[reassures]

It's okay! Cleaning never takes me too long, and I think I can get a day off from the bar if I want to.

[blondejokes]

Okay. Call me when you're ready and I'll come get you, then.

[reassures]

Alright, I will.
