Knew I could count on you. [Funny how things work like that now.]

...how 'bout you? You're gonna be kinda out of your element there. [Literally. Ino will be good back up for her, in that instance, but there's still several days of fighting to consider.]

[Funny indeed. A shrug.] I'll manage. A fight's a fight. Gotta learn to adapt.

[Besides, how much different can it really be?]

[Ask him again when he's going along with Sokka in a canoe to fetch you off a sandbank.]

Doesn't mean you have to go in blind. [He stretches - pops something painfully in his back and holds back a wince.] There anything you're gonna have a harder time getting used to? Konoha's not exactly close to the ocean or anything either, but we still have more water sources.

[IE. He does have some experience with battles on a waterfront, not to mention the fact he's been drafted one more time than her, until now.]

[Yeah, like she'll ask then.]

Honestly, I'm more worried about defending the boats. That's something I've never done. I don't know boats; I could guess where weak points are, if all else fails.

Ask for blueprints when you get through the transporters. If you can't get that, ask after the weak points of the ship, so you can come up with a better strategy to defend it.

Will do. Either way -- on a ship or on the ground -- the principle remains the same: keep 'em off our backs. It's not like I need solid ground beneath me.

Normally I'd agree. But you're gonna be in trouble if you're using chakra to keep on top of the water and a Shifter shows up.

[Her? Go out on the water if she doesn't have to? Yeah, no.] I rather meant I could attack from anywhere on the ship, if need be. I'm not going out on the water unless I have to. Too many variables there.

Plan for it anyways. [Just to be safe.] You know how that works.

The one thing you don't plan for... Yeah, I know how it works.

Heh. [And there's more he wants say - battle strategies and advice. This kind of talk and politics is there niche, since all of those chuunin exams and her trips as ambassador. But he's not sure if either of them can handle that right now.]

That's good. You can come up with something and tell me in the morning, then.

Yeah, yeah. [She pushes to her feet and gives him A Look.] Are you gonna sleep outside my door?

[He flops back over on the mattress again. 8|]

Yup. [His voice might be slightly muffled by the mattress top.] Too troublesome to drag this thing back into my room, after all the effort I went to to get it out here.

[... She's not entirely sure why she puts up with him sometimes.]

Yeah, okay. Don't complain when you get tripped over in the morning. [:|]

Can't make any promises. I'm told it's kinda my thing.

[She snorts and opens her door.] Anything else you wanted to say?

Yeah. [He reaches one arm over the mattress to grab his pillow, rolling his head over onto it before looking at her.] It's going to be okay.

[Heh. He didn't have to say it.] Yeah. I figured that out already.

[And she closes the door. You can sleep on the floor if you want to, Nara. She's tired enough not to care who's crashing outside her door.]
