intraspectiveBeing back in Fandom was a peculiar… sort of disconnect.
Ino was curled up on hers and Zack’s pushed together beds and pretending to read. Which was rather futile because she knew it was pretence and so it would have been more productive to actually do something…
But she didn’t really feel like it. There were a lot of things she had to think on, but those thoughts felt almost like she was clinging to broken glass in her hands, and that hurt.
Like a toothache, however, she couldn’t quite stop poking at them. Even when doing so only hurt things more.
And, turn the page. Keeping up appearances, even just to herself, was important.
She was supposed to be reading. Would claim to be reading.
But her gaze wasn't on the book.

Date: 2011-01-08 08:49 pm (UTC)As Silly came bumbling over to see what the noise was, Ino picked her phone up.
"Hello?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 08:56 pm (UTC)'Reno thought I should check up on you' seemed like a bad place.
"Just ... wanted to call. It's been a while, and I wanted to let you know I hadn't dropped off the face of the Earth."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:02 pm (UTC)"I appreciate it," she said, wriggling her fingers for her chicobo. "I've told you before, yeah, that I suck at keeping in touch...? Sorry. I should've called."

Date: 2011-01-08 09:35 pm (UTC)"Reno's right," she said, a bit clipped in saying his name. "Zack and I were--exploring Gaia."
There. Pure truth. No one, not even herself, could say she was lying.
(Not telling the whole story, on the other hand...)

Date: 2011-01-08 09:15 pm (UTC)This week, he'd been staying out longer than usual. Thinking. Running. Losing himself away in some combination of the two. Morning jogs had begun to take half the day, and it wasn't until he'd almost exhausted himself that he'd head back to the dorms at all.
It took him a little longer than it used to, to be able to put Angeal's sword away, lately.
"Hey," he greeted, when he finally made his way back into the room. There was nothing in the world that was possibly wrong, judging by his tone of voice or the way that he carried himself. That was how he'd like it to stay. "How's your day been so far?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:17 pm (UTC)Which was truth, even if it sat uncomfortably with her. She'd been... staring. And watching Silly be ridiculous.
And reading, right.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:23 pm (UTC)... She. Whichever.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:34 pm (UTC)"It's not the best name," she said because, well, it wasn't. "But--Silly."
Because Silly was silly.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:35 pm (UTC)"That's a great name," Zack decided, grinning brightly at the little ball of yellow puff on the bed. "Silly!"
And if Zack approved, it had to be awesome, right?
"It suits, don'cha think?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:36 pm (UTC)Well done, Silly.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:41 pm (UTC)"Well, then it's the perfect name," chuckled Zack, making his way over to flop on the edge of the other bed, so as to not disturb the little bird. "How are you doing for greens, by the way? I can put another order in pretty soon, if you want?"

Date: 2011-01-08 09:25 pm (UTC)Ring ring, Ino.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:34 pm (UTC)"Hello?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:37 pm (UTC)"It's Hurley. Ummm, surprise?"
Hopefully she wouldn't freak out before he had a chance to explain.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 09:42 pm (UTC)As that was... not a voice she'd really expected to hear. Ino had sort of... relegated that to the land of 'people who left' and tried not to deal with that fact because it sucked and so blinking was... definitely going to happen first.
"Hurley?" Disbelief, it turned out, was a good way to distract her from--issues. "You're kidding."
But maybe he wasn't?

Date: 2011-01-08 10:02 pm (UTC)She sighed.
"It's good to... hear from you," she said, a bit lamely.
Ino was... hardly at the top of her game today, no.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 10:11 pm (UTC)Understatement, to say the least.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-08 10:14 pm (UTC)Ino supposed she should... add something to that...
"You okay?"
