Liir should have been practicing. It was why he'd woken up early, why he'd gotten dressed and warmed up. He'd spent most of yesterday practicing his various skills in one way or another to the point where he hadn't actually seen another soul for most of the day, but he still should have been practicing

"You've become a monkey-playground," Ino noted from the door of the gym.

He beamed up at her, his smile happier than he'd been for at least two months, and carefully waved her over.

"They're very friendly and we've already tackled the difficult bits."

She shook her head slightly; amused, and stepped over to him. "You're telling stories now?"

Ino wiggled her fingers cheerfully at the monkeys. "Stay out of my hair and we'll get along fine," she informed the monkeys.

This was a lie. She'd probably still like them even if they got in her hair. Ino had, after all, let sheep play in her hair. Monkeys weren't any worse.

There was an inquisitive look at Liir and he smiled and nodded to a couple of them.

"Go say hello," and he gestured with his chin to Ino. "She's very nice."

Liir spared a hand to point at his bag.

"There's some nuts in there that they might like, if you want to be their favorite person for a few minutes. And yes, I'm telling them all about the Chistery and Squawk and Blibber and Eep and the others. It's just chatter to them, more than likely, but they seem amused."
