appointments' post!

[floralogy]

This post is for threading with Yamanaka Ino anytime and anywhere. It can be used for Action or the Ring feature on journals (voice or written) to get in contact with her for personal conversations. This will be used primarily for 'placement' threads such as: someone left a present or 'by the way, come to this party on such-and-such' or the like.

Note: When making a new thread, please title it like such:

[Still looking up and still lost in her sea of emotions, Ino continues to speak softly, though this time, her voice is bereft of that previous anger.]

But you are... [It's a weak protest, a weak admission as she continues to cry.] You're helping me by being here.

[Because inasmuch as she wants to be alone, sometimes, having a person close to you hold you is a form of comfort that cannot be replaced.]

And I'm not going anywhere, either. I'll stick here as long as you need.

[Even having one person can make a huge difference. Nobody should have to face these circumstances alone. And besides, Ino's too precious for him to just ignore.]

[Finally, Ino gazes up and despite the anguish all too evident on her face, she pulls out a solid smile for him. Because she's going to be fine and this too shall pass. She'll just need some time.]

Thank you.

No need to thank me. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I ditched you at a time like this?

[Heck, what kind of friend, even? Regardless of the type of bond, it's important to stick around for the people you care about. Especially at times like these.]

[floralogy]

A jerk?

[She gives this face, but her voice is too hoarse for her to giggle. That, and Ino's sure her giggle will sound foreign even to her ears.]

action

[stilldontgotit]

Exactly. And I've got no intention to be one of those again.

[It's a bit of dry humor on his part, given his stupid mistakes in his past.]

[floralogy]

[Riku will receive a small smile as affirmation to what he said before Ino rests her cheek against his chest. There's a bit of a pause on her end as if she's gathering her thoughts before she speaks up.]

Is it alright if you... sleep beside me later? [She doesn't trust being able to sleep after all this. At least, not tonight.]

action

[stilldontgotit]

It's more than all right, Ino. If that's what it takes to cheer you up, then I'll stick to you like glue.

[It's a bit of an exaggeration, since... well, he doubts she'll want him to stick with her 24/7, but hopefully it'll get the point across.]

action

[floralogy]

[Oh, it did get the point across that it helped ease Ino. She would have giggled at that come back if she can, but as it is, she just remained quiet, basking on the sensation of having him hold her. It takes some time before thoughts drift somewhere else, somewhere beyond this world.]

Dad told me he was proud of me... [She opens up, but her voice is meek and soft.]

action

[stilldontgotit]

[When he hears her words, a weak smile crawls across his face, and he gives her a light squeeze.]

As he should be. You're a great person, Ino, not to mention strong. And I'm not just talking physically here.
