Appointments Post ( I )

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Masaomi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
Written, June 10th]</b

[Definitely continued from here because I love the thread too. Will probably tag with a handful of alt counts besides this one, though (its_troublesome and keima), since I don't have a paid. Anyways--]

[And Masaomi is changing the subject. There's no need to force his point, though - he hasn't been given one, at least.]

You'd be the first. My sensei, Asuma, always used to say that about me. [He sounds more amused than bothered over that.]

Nope, you're way too straight man to be an old man.

[And he rocks in the hill here. sure they're both missioning soon, but. This is nice for now]

Straight man?

[Naruto-land is a little behind on trope awareness.]

Old people are perverts, you know.

[He opens his mouth as if to counter that, but stops short, reminded of some of the old people from his own village - including the Third Hokage himself.

Not to mention Jiraiya, who was as well known for writing porn novels as he was being a ninja.]

Har har. [Okay, so you win that one. 8|] Maybe I'm just middle-aged then.

I must say, Shikamaru-kun, you look very sexy for a middle aged guy. Much appeal!

[It's not a wide grin. Just a little one. And a thumbs up]

[Deadpan as usual:]

Sorry. I have it on good authority that I'm the straight man.

[PFFFTHAHAHA]

[Better than nothing. Shikamaru grins, and turns to watch the darkening sky again.

They should probably head back now if they want to be ready for their separate missions tomorrow - Masaomi lives further away from here, and Shikamaru still needs to get a hold of a couple of people before he goes.

The look on his face turns contemplative - he's not sure if their little talk made much difference. Not that he expected his words to have a big impact, but he meant what he said. Masaomi met it with denial and resignation before turning the subject around.

If this was just about getting over the incident with the moon, he wouldn't be concerned. Everyone will move beyond that eventually, Masaomi included. That's the nature of this place... just like it is to bring back the issues it raises time and again, if you let it. Which is what worries him.

It's nothing he can tackle in ten minutes, though. Just something to watch out for.]

[And Masaomi, for his part as they fall into the silence feels a similar tug for time. He sighs and then starts to get up before shikamaru]

I guess we best prep to go.

[Shikamaru glances over, pulled from his thoughts, and nods. He jumps to his feet, brushing his sleeves off.]

Guess so. [Another glance, and then:] You really should get that vest fixed.

Don't worry, I will.

[From Law in over a month]

[Excellent. What's one more after seven?]

You'd better. [He shakes his head, unhappy that it's even taken this long.] Good luck out there, too. Let me know how it goes.
