[Action;]
Oh goodness, it's so cold!
[There's a shriek that follows that and the intense shielding of oneself from the falling snow. Ino trains her eyes around her surroundings. It's obvious she's in the forest, but where exactly? Grumbling, she focuses on staying warm, at least as warm as she can get when she's dressed for a humid forest.]
It's really typical of this place to send you on a mission to a perfectly humid jungle only to dump you back into a freezing forest.
[Ino rambles, teeth starting to chatter amid the frigid air. A certain location looks different when covered in snow but she hasn't been in this place for two years not to know her way around. Two years, Ino recalls, come to think of it, this is my third winter in this place.
She sighs, her expression falling a little, as she focuses on finding her way to the village. Probably by the time she does reach its outskirts, she's freezing and looking ready to fall any moment.]
[Voice; much later]
So, I'm back.
[The voice behind this post, which obviously belongs to Ino, is tired and a little hoarse from sneezing a lot.]
If anyone ever needs me, I'll be available next week.
Or the week after that.
Or the week after that.
[There's a long sigh.]
I think I won't be going on any missions for a while.
[Not that she can promise that, but a long hot bubble bath and some well-deserved rest and relaxation for days are probably in order.]

[Except that she can't forget what it was like being married to him. Having him put all his thought and planning that was so much still him into romancing her. And also the other things. Marital Activities.]
If you want to set him up with someone, try somebody else.
[She sure is being overly defensive.]
no subject
[There, she calls you out on that now. No need to be so worked up on this, best friend. She feels you.]
Anyway, I think he's already interested on Temari. [Then, with a playful wink:] Don't tell him I told you that.
no subject
I'm not being defensive.
[Totally not. Not even a little.]
Temari? Hah. Even Naruto knows there's something there. He's figured they were dating for a couple years now. [Which is overstating the case, but it's Naruto, that comes with the territory.]
no subject
[He's just interested. If he actually went as far as asking her out is a different matter entirely.]
no subject
Well, I didn't say they were. Just that Naruto's thought so. But - hah. Nice to see the genius being the awkward one for once, huh?
no subject
[She giggles a little as she shakes her head.]
There are just some things you can't solve by a mere strategy or by having the IQ of a genius.
no subject
Good luck to him on that score.
