[OOC: In order to relieve Ki's inbox. Shikamaru and Tayuya leave the party at number nine, heading for the roof.]
Anko's smile was perhaps the freakiest thing Tayuya had ever seen and was met with a glower on the redhead's part. This whole incident was strongly reaffirming just why she normally avoided gatherings such as this - associating with a group of fucktards wasn't high on her list of 'things that don't piss me off too much.'
"Whatever," she said flatly, tone hiding just how damn grateful she was to Shikamaru for rescuing her. At that particular moment, any thoughts on how suggestive their leaving would be simply weren't registering in the face of an oppertunity to be free of her roommate. "Let's just go - stupidity's catching."
Well, that was a visual picture to behold.
Brain?
Eh?
Shut up. Now.
Shikamaru grimaced, dark olive eyes leaving the offensive roommate in favor of nodding towards the woman he was sure was about to beat him a moment prior. Hell, even he had to be horribly wrong sometimes. Without any gesture of chivalry one might show in showing a lady out, he turned and began to lope off towards the door--simply expecting Tayuya to follow. A hand retracted from his pocket in a lazy wave over his shoulder to Anko, keeping up his manners.
"Thanks for the beer, good luck finding your carrottop friend a boyfriend."
Without worrying about what little sense that might have made to Tayuya, he excused himself from his own apartment, heading up towards the roof.
Tayuya spared Anko a dark little smirk before shrugging her shoulders carelessly and wandering off after Shikamaru, negating her way through the crowd awkwardly.
Just leaving the apartment made her breathe a little easier, but it did leave her with the dubious question of just what Shikamaru may have gotten them into.
...holy fuck, people were going to talk.
The familiar prickle of anger across her skin warmed her comfortingly as she quickened her pace to catch up with him (why were they heading for the roof anyway?) "I don't need rescuing," she told him, snappishly as well as untruthfully, but this was a matter of pride now.
