[009] Action

[dangerouswind]

[It's mid-morning when Temari leaves her apartment. In the hours before lunch, she can be found tending her small garden on the roof, the plot of wildflowers next to the community building, and the flowers she's planted in the Memory Garden.

One for Kankuro and, now, one for Gaara.

She eats lunch at the small bridge on the south end of town. Afterward, she makes it a personal mission to go through each and every thing in the Item Shop. Never know when one might find something useful, after all.

After the Item Shop and stopping in the library for a few minutes, Temari makes her way to the barracks in the mid-afternoon. The training dummies are set to take a beating; Temari's working on some hand-to-hand today. She only gets a half hour of practice in before she sees the first droid.

She puts up a fight, but it's only minutes before she's dragged away. Do try not to be upset about the messed up dummy, or the kunai strewn about the place.]

[[ooc; feel free to run into her at any point.]]

[Look who's here to tend to the plot of wildflowers too. Yup, our resident Yamanaka who's experienced with flowers.]

They're looking great. Showering them with enough tender loving care?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Temari glances over and Ino and just shrugs.] I take care of them.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

[Ino grabs the watering can and approaches the flowers she planted.] You're not going to let me in on your secret?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

No secret. Water them when they need it.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

Why not try talking to them? Plants like that. [And she'll just water them now.]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[The corner of her mouth quirks upward in a small -- and almost sad -- smile.] What makes you think that I don't?

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

[Aw, Temari. Ino crouches down to properly water the flowers then turns to smile at the other girl.] I guess I just never pegged you as the type who does?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

I had a greenhouse back in the village.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

I suppose I should visit Suna more?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

It's worth the trip.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

When I manage to get more free time. I'll drag Shikamaru along with me.

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Temari snorts.] It won't be too troublesome?

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

[Ino snorts, too.] Of course not. Shikamaru, though, might beg to differ. [Not that he'll have anything to say about it.]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

He'd spend the whole trip complaining. It's wasted energy.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

Oh boy, I can imagine. [Giggles.] I probably should bring earplugs.

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Several pairs, I'd imagine.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

Or something to cover his mouth shut.

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

I found this great stuff in the item shop: duct tape. I think it'd work perfectly.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

Really? You think so? Are they strong enough to withstand his complaining?

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

It'd be a close thing, that's certain.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

I guess beggars can't be choosers.

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

True enough. For someone who finds wasted energy troublesome, it's amazing how much he wastes on complaining. [Except, he's not really been that bad. Still. It's something to talk about. Temari carefully trims back one of the larger plants.]

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

[Putting away the watering can, she then proceeds to examine the flowers. Yeah, Shikamaru's always a good topic. He's something they have in common, after all.]

He was far worse when we were kids, though. Every time he opens his mouth, he's complaining.

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Beats trying to figure out small talk. Temari snorts at the comment.]

That complaining kid still beat me in the Exams.

[piggybabe.livejournal.com]

[This is true. /o/]

Well, that complaining kid is also a genius. Lazy, a complete whiner, but still a genius.
