[After the draft's announcement and talking it over with Ino, Shikamaru had gone to Temari's apartment to look for her only to find no one home. And no one home still for several hours after that.

It would figure she'd be this troublesome, even so soon after he got back from his stay with Malnosso.

While the matter he needed to discuss with her was pretty urgent, he wasn't about to sacrifice his first night of real sleep on the floor outside her door to wait for her.

Hence, when she does return to her apartment, she'll find one (sparklier than usual) ninja snoring on a mattress he dragged into the hallway, outside her door.

Dear Temari,

Hello! My name is Ikki and I am not writing you on account of the Hyrda Social Project but instead because I have a friend who said that I should ask you my questions because it is the nice thing to do! I do not know you but I know people from your world who are very nice and interesting and cool and amazing!

A little about me is that I am seven years old and live in House 56 and am an airbender, which is someone who controls the air and uses it for things!! I am also now a pokemon trainer although I am not as good at that as I am at bending since I am still in training, but I am trying very hard and I hope I will be able to help Soren properly someday. Soren is my partner who is a swellow which is a kind of flying bird pokemon!

He kind of wanted to go look at the tornado yesterday, but instead we went in the basement with my Uncle Sokka and Aunt Toph and everyone and we waited for the storm to end. Storms can be very dangerous!! But according to other people there have been worse storms here because apparently one of them burned our house down????? But our house is okay!!! Is your house okay??

Also what ninja village do you come from? Do you use genjutsu or ninjutsu or taijutsu? I have heard from Lee that he cannot use one of those types at all!!!!! He thought I was using a jutsu when I used airbending but I was not, and we talked about that a bit.

Also I decided to draw you a picture of your favourite animal!

[ INSERT SAID PICTURE HERE ]

I hope to hear from you really soon!

Love,
Ikki

[And so it has been about two weeks since a certain incident! Other than going upstairs to visit Silver (who was coma'd until the fourth), and eating ramen with Lee, Shikamaru's been spending most of his time sleeping. His shoulder was dislocated after the draft, so he figured that's excuse enough to rest up.

And not sulk. Definitely not sulk.

It's been a week since Naruto's been gone. This seems like just cause to get up and see what's in the fridge.]

[So in the morning...ish? Late morning. Enough time to sleep and prepare but before he expects she'll be out of her apartment. Whichever.

(no not whichever, he takes careful time plotting this out--)

WHICHEVER. He's got this. He's cool and relaxed. He's been on missions a lot but she wouldn't blow him off over that like Masaomi said, right? RIGHT... They've seen each other. He's not ignored her or anything. It's more than they're used to back home, what with the distance. They've gone months with little more than a how-do-you-do back home, so this should be fine.

...screw Masaomi and his doubt. WELL he has a plan. But she won't be annoyed, so there's no reason this shouldn't be a nice thing. Shikamaru knocks on Temari's door, shaking off any worries for a casual easy confidence.]
