Saunter Up to That Horizon

[proudgreenauror]

*slams the common room door HARD, stomps up to his dorm and straps on his heaviest ankle weights*

[[Filtered to Lee, Temari, teachers, and anyone else who really needs to know where he is]]

I'm going for a run around the lake.

[[/filtered]]

[[Hogwarts!Gai is in an extremely lousy mood right now for reasons he'll doubtless refuse to discuss.

-Gets startled from the slamming and drops her book.-

Gai-kun?

[proudgreenauror]

Aagh... good grief, I'm sorry, Oruha, didn't mean to disturb you.... *picks up her book and gives it back*

[[Gaah, no fair! It's impossible to snap at Oruha! XD]]

[black_songbird]

-Takes her book and smiles, patting his hand.- Are you alright? You seem stressed, Gai-kun.

[WHEW that's good XD]

[proudgreenauror]

Nothing a few laps around the lake won't cure. *twitch of a smile, touches her shoulder in a brief, comradely gesture* See you later.

[[*HEADDESK* Now you've got me channeling Han Solo: "Yeah, we're fine, we're all fine... here... now.... how are you?"]]

*blinks, looks up from his homework* o_o?!

[proudgreenauror]

*throwing winter clothes out of his trunk, finally finds his scarf, not really seeing anything else in the room*

[[Aagh, why are all the NICE people noticing him now? You guys'll ruin his bad mood! XDDD]]

[honeyhaninozuka]

*watches him for a minute before he speaks up* Are you okay..?

[[XD!]]

[proudgreenauror]

*swings round, mouth open to yell; remembers where he is, wilts and shakes his head*

Not really. *fists clench, forces a smile* ..But I will be -- or else I'll... I'll... *racks his brains for an appropriate consequence*

[truetensai]

Gai-sensei!!! I have not seen you in a long time(hours)! Are you all right?!

[proudgreenauror]

..Lee....

*sight of his student's bright face puts a big wide crack in his mood; relaxes just a bit*

It's been a long day. Which is why I'm going for a run around the lake!!! *dynamic pose* Care to join me?

[truetensai]

Oh yes, Gai-sensei! O, have I longed to run with you again!

...Has something happened? Normally you complain that the day is not long enough!

[proudgreenauror]

That's true. *jogs off with Lee at his side* I've been thinking of things that are better off forgotten -- and for that I promise to land 950 hoops in Beater practice tomorrow!!!!

All the same, let's not talk about my mood. I want to get the most out of this run. *winks, takes off*

[[*giggling my head off at your shiny, shiny icon* XDDDD By the way, this has to be the Gai and Lee who were at Hogwarts for the whole week -- continuity issues. XD]]

[brilliant_osaka]

*wanders out from somewhere within Hufflepuff*

Senpai? Are you alright? I heard a lot of noise, and thought Bigfeet had returned....

[[I'm guessing perhaps when Gai returned? XD]]

[proudgreenauror]

*letting his ankle weights clatter to the floor, snaps upright with a wild-eyed stare* Bigfoot? WHERE????
