DAY TWO

[ino]

[Another beautiful day in Konoha!



So you've been here for a day. You've had plenty of time to get into trouble and get to know your way around. How about going on a mission with your team, then? Or maybe that new movie opening up today piques your interest ...]

[ MISSION ASSIGNMENT DESK | VACATION | MOVIE THEATER | SHUSHUYA | YAKINIKU Q

For more information on the village and its locations, check out Narutopedia, or feel free to contact me through PM/IM (terraqueous orb)/Plurk (chomesuke) for any questions! The only NPCs in this post will be Gai and the old lady in the opt-out threads, but feel free to NPC any civilian or ninja townspeople you need to. DAY ONE is still open for backtagging!]

-- What?

[Hold on honey you really broke his brain here he's gonna need a second]

[persequor]

...please?

[wilder]

[there's a long pause as he tries to sort through all that]

[Finally he opts to kneel down in front her, putting a hand on her shoulder]

...Arya. There's something I want to make clear to you, okay? Promise to listen?

[persequor]

Yes.

[he nods before speaking with a stern voice]

I know things are different from where you're from, but you will never ask me to find you someone to marry again. Nor will you expect me to want you to "have lots of sons and be a good wife". I hate that kind of mindset.

You want to have lots of sons and be a good wife of someone of your choosing? That's fine, if you want that. Don't ever drag me into it making that choice for you.

[wilder]

As for coming to Meltokio, if there's a way...

[His voice softens from the stern tone]

Well, I'll be busy and probably not around much, but...if you don't mind that, I'd be fine with it.

[persequor]

I wasn't— [ The argument dies abruptly. Not like she wanted to do any of those things. Except the last one. But last one's a given. ]

I'm not, I mean, I don't mind being left alone sometimes. [ It's the idea of "always" she doesn't like. Also never actually alone. Nymeria is so coming with. ] I still get to see you.

[wilder]

Heh...yeah. You would. Whenever I'm in town.

[persequor]

[ She smiles. ]

I'd be happy with that.

[wilder]

Good.

The mansion could stand some livening up, it gets too quiet. I think you'd have no problem doing that.

[persequor]

[ Arya raises an eyebrow at him. ]

Are you calling me loud?

[wilder]

Only sometimes~

[persequor]

[ Arya pushes at a shoulder. ]

You are very rude.

[ A thoughtful look crosses her face. ]

Would your sister be there too?

[wilder]

Me? No way I'm completely refined?

Seles? [a pause] I dunno. First I need to get her outta the Abbey. And after that...well, it'd be up to her.

[persequor]

[ Dude. You might know the meaning of it. But you don't act it. ]

Do you fear she won't want to?

[wilder]

[Because acting it is boring!]

[yes.] I dunno. Wouldn't blame her if she didn't.

[persequor]

That's hardly the proper attitude to take. You best not ask her like that.

[wilder]

Huh? How should I ask her?

[persequor]

Not like you don't care what she chooses. I know you do. She might not. How do you think that would make her feel? If I ever thought I'd only be a burden to my brothers, I'd never go to them.
