[dangerouswind]

[She knows she's late. Temari would forever blame the Malnosso for dropping her back in the forest somewhere and never her own reticence to walk back into town. (Like nothing had happened. Like nothing had ever happened.) She's only looking for one person when she comes back into the village, slipping in straight from the forest and making a beeline for community building one. She's making a concerted effort not to be seen, though that's a little harder once she's inside the building and walking quietly toward the door.

Not her door. Her next door neighbor's.

Temari hesitates only a moment before she knocks. (It's a light knock. Not that she can hear it.) Be home, Nara. She doesn't want to have to try this again.

It's some time later before she actually shows up on the journal. The message is written, short. She's doesn't filter it to anyone; she doesn't have the patience. She honestly doesn't want to say anything in the first place, but...

... well, that's unfair to a few people.]

I'm back.

[Fortunately or not, Shikamaru happened to be walking right past the door when he hears the knock, so it's him who gets the door and not Masaomi. He'd grabbed something from the snack reserves in the apartment, and had been going to sit, so he has food in hand when he opens the door.

...and freezes like he's looking at a corpse. Because even knowing people came back (it's been a while at that, Temari), that's rightly what she should be.]

Welcome back! [ ...she's not sure who or from where, but someone needs to be welcoming, clearly. ]

[screw_fate]

[Easier to just match the form of the announcement, even not knowing that it's necessary.]

Welcome back, Temari.

[He'd gathered what happened to her, and this is... well, as strange as meeting Asuma here had been, in its own way.]

[ Tenten's first impulse is to lecture her about how she wasn't supposed to die, but, even someone as tactless as her knows the weight of death. Her rival isn't supposed to lose to anyone else but her! Regardless, she writes. ]

Welcome back. If there's anything you need, let me know. I'm sure someone has your fan and anything else you're missing.

[floralogy]

[She has been waiting for this ever since she heard the news, knowing fully well how the Malnosso works.]

Welcome back, Temari. [She wants to say more, but she leaves it at that.]

[Voice / Filtered]

[generalflirt]

[he's not at home when he makes this, fortunately for everyone, but his voice is flat, cold. Given she's writing something like that she's probably beat up, somehow can't use her voice, or both. Because of that...]

Just so you know, you're not forgiven.

[He decides to burn a bridge which was getting him nowhere anyway.

For Catharsis]

[ written ] yes, I am hideously late

[markofthebrave]

[...well, there was a certain sense of relief at seeing this, that's for sure. Something uncoiling from her chest, but all the same... leaving her at a loss of what to say.

I'm so sorry.

You idiot.]

Welcome back.
