[All right, enough of this. It's Spring and she still loves Spring (only her third Spring ever!) and Katara has decided she is going to enjoy it. No school today, so in the late morning to mid afternoon, if you are by the paths along the river you will see one (1) Katara, with a basket and her knife, taking cuttings of wildflowers. She's careful not to take too much from any one tree or bush, and she's clearly enjoying herself.]

[General Voice]
I think my favorite part about Spring is the flowers. We just didn't have anything like this where I grew up. Although in the summers I'd go on a hunt for Mouse Ears. [She pauses, remembering the last time she'd done that...] Or at least I did when I was a kid. I even found one once!

But for all you people who grew up with flowers like this - what was it like, in your Springs? Did you have any fun flower traditions?

[And after the wildflowers have been turned into bouquets, it's time to go visiting! If she hasn't seen you or heard from you in a while, and she knows where you live, your house/apartment is Fair Game.

There are, however, a few people she needs to speak with about a few specific things, so it's time for some courtesy filters! These are not very strong and mostly to prevent your journals from spam]


[Filtered to Shikamaru]
Hey - you up for a spar later?

[Filtered to Nami]
...are those mikans still up for grabs?

[Filtered to Trafalgar Law]
...would you mind if I stopped by?

[Filtered to Zoro]
...hey. I haven't seen you, and I think we should talk.


[Hmm. That was everyone she needed to talk to, right? Hopefully that was it. If it wasn't, she hopes she'll bump into people during the day. Like Sokka - an idea has occurred to her which needs discussing.]

Of course not. We're creatures of the night, apparently.

[Or so everyone keeps saying. Nevermind there hasn't been a single, canon nighttime battle in the history of Naruto]
endgames: (No seriously)

Pfft. Please. Any respectable ninja knows a bush has better cover.

A water...bender? What does that mean?

[The problem is, Nami doesn't know how to explain this. It's a tangle of too many threads and she has no idea how to begin untangling it. Or where to begin explaining. Or even if she should.

In the end, Katara's silence is too painful, and Nami speaks just to fill it.]


I spent... close to eight years stealing from pirates, bigger and stronger and tougher than I was. You don't... you don't succeed at that unless you're smarter than they are. Or you find something-- a way to distract them. Nearly all pirates are men, did you know? But despite that--

[...

...]
I--

[--shouldn't be talking about this.]

...I'll work it out.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what she's talking about.]

[He makes a small grunt to acknowledge he heard her and keeps walking, rolling his head away from her and up towards the sky again, lazily.

The clouds are steadily turning various shades of pink and purple, touched by the sun as it draws closer to setting. He likes them better when they're fluffy and white, or wispy trails across blue. He can appreciate both, though, he thinks.

Thinks about the sky because for years it was the best thing to think about when he didn't want to think about anything else.]
endgames: (...the hell?)

Even?

[His tone is just as casual as ever, though maybe hints of "what are you talking about?" somewhere in there.]

[He knows what she's getting at - anything literally means anything. It's a serious show of choice and trust, on her part. He appreciates the gesture more than the apology.

At the same time, he thinks it's about the stupidest thing he's heard. He doesn't want to learn anything about her like that, and he opens his mouth to say it-]

Anything, huh?

[...but those are the words that come out instead. What can he say? He's tired of Big Speeches. He's had more than enough of those, for one day.

That and serious conversation.]


Okay. What're your thoughts on Chouji?

We're smart people. We'll figure out an appropriate speed and suspiciousness level while we're doing it. It's not like I've made a chart for that or anything.

[He'll do that later.]

Are there many different continents where you lived?

Oh, my, that's too bad. Watching all the different seasons go by is so much fun!

It takes a certain level of self-confidence to stand out against it and break the mold. Most people don't posses that sort of confidence, and those that do don't always feel the need to express it.
