[ Shino is sitting at the fountain in the middle of the village today. Her hands are folded over her knees as she watches people pass by. ]

[ He's just going to sit right beside her like it's nothing. Aaaah what a month. ]

[a_honeysuckle]

[Shino turns her head to look at him.]

[reversedarkness]

[ He's not looking at her. His eyes are somewhere else, far away, but he seems semi-relaxed just being beside her. ]

[a_honeysuckle]

[She just smiles and closes her eyes, turning her head forward again. It's been awhile since they just sat side by side, quietly.]

[ Haseo's content in the quiet for a long time, before he finally speaks up, leaning on his knees. ]

Shino... do you think Atoli will really come back?

[a_honeysuckle]

I think she will. Atoli-chan is stronger than she looks. They can't keep her forever.

[ Shino turns and smiles at him. ]

[reversedarkness]

Yeah, I know she is... but I don't know... will they bring her back or send her home? [ He feels pretty stupid, like a wife waiting for a soldier to come back from war or something. ]

[a_honeysuckle]

[She goes quiet at first.] Wouldn't they have sent her home by now?

[reversedarkness]

Maybe they're just doing it to drive me crazy.

[a_honeysuckle]

Maybe... though I think there are easier ways to do that.

[reversedarkness]

Yeah, considering the things they can do.

[a_honeysuckle]

So they're probably just biding their time.

[reversedarkness]

Assholes...
