[She shakes her head. For as much good as the Memorial did, Shika rarely went there. It was a nice gesture, but the memorial was just a stone with his name on it.]

I'd rather watch clouds.

[blondejokes]

That's even better.

[ Though she couldn't leave flowers on a cloud. ]

[reassures]

[Heh. She's pretty sure Shika would approve, anyway.]

You could leave them somewhere with a good view. He'd probably like that.

[blondejokes]

He'd tell me I was being too sentimental.

[ She acts annoyed by it, but she knows he would. He knew how important flowers were to her, even if he didn't care much for them himself. ]

[reassures]

He wouldn't mind, though.

[Everyone was sort of sentimental, as far as Nill could tell. That had never bothered Shika, even if he'd sometimes act like it did.]

[blondejokes]

[ She giggles. ]

No, he wouldn't. But he'd sure act like it. For all his bitching about how women are so troublesome, he isn't so easy-going himself.

[reassures]

He tried to be.

[It's just that the universe wasn't the sort of place that allowed for people to really be easy-going.

It's impossible for Nill to look on the lighter side of things right now though; after a pause she lets out a quiet sigh.]

I'm sorry, Ino-- I don't think I'll make good company for you today.

[blondejokes]

[ Ino's smile falters for a moment, then she nods. ]

I understand, Nill.

Call me if you need anything, alright?

[reassures]

I will.

[She won't, but Ino doesn't need to know that.]

Thank you.

[blondejokes]

Of course. See you around.

[ And she walks off into the youthful sunset... ]
