3rd Floor Common Room: Monday Late Morning [12-31-07]

When in doubt? Bake brownies.

So, that's what Lana was doing. Lots of them. Lots and lots of them and some chocolate chip cookies for good measure. And frosting for the tops of the brownies.

Coming back from the Post Office, Ino couldn't help but stop and go investigate the smell of something cooking. She poked her head in the common room and grinned. "Morning, Lana!"

"Hi, Ino!" Lana called happily and dropped to the floor with near perfect form. She got up and grinned. "Just in case you wondered if I'd been practicing."

[intraspective]

"Is it becoming more of a natural movement?" Ino asked, "Because that looked pretty good to me!"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"It is," Lana agreed. "And I'm not bruising myself or anything any more."

[intraspective]

That got a beaming smile. "That's great!" Ino looked around the room, "You're in a cooking mood?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm in a cooking delicious chocolate baked goods kind of mood," Lana corrected.

[intraspective]

Her eyes went wide and pleading, "Don't suppose you'd share?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana gestured towards the goodies. "Help yourself."

[intraspective]

"Yay chocolate!" Ino bounced over to help herself, her grin was teasing, "They're not poisoned or anything, right?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Well, all of them except the one's you're going to eat," Lana said with a grin. "Otherwise how would I learn to fight?"

[intraspective]

"This is true." She laughed, taking a bite. "It'd be pretty rude to poison your teacher!"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Oh, very!" Lana agreed.

[intraspective]

"This is good!" Ino said, "You're definitely better at cooking than me!" She could cook if she really wanted to, it just wasn't something she enjoyed.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm good at this sort of thing," Lana said. "Not so sure about the more difficult things."

[intraspective]

"I'm sure you'd be good at those too." She grinned, "And not that I mind it, since you're willing to share, but why make so much?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm kind of in a mood," Lana admitted. "And I just wanted all sorts of stuff, so I made it. I figure it won't go to waste in this place. Even if I leave it all here, someone will eat it."

[intraspective]

Ino couldn't help but laugh at that. "It's true, people will eat anything just hanging around." She leaned against the counter, "But I'm sorry about your mood. Maybe tonight's party will make you feel better?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Yeah... I don't know," Lana said quietly. "My boyfriend really wasn't doing too well last night, so I may just be staying in tonight."

[intraspective]

Ino frowned a bit, "Is he sick? Because my boyfriend could fix that if that was the case."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"No. Not physically at least," Lana said quietly. "He... wouldn't, didn't want to talk to me about it when he got back last night."

[intraspective]

"Oh." Ino looked down for a second, "Do you know at least, if it's anything you've done?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so," Lana said. "I think it's about his family. But he doesn't want to talk to me, because he knows that I lost all of mine."

[intraspective]

That made Ino frown, "Do you mind it if he talks about his family?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She shook her head. "No, not at all. I think, he just... needs some space to sort things out."

[intraspective]

"Well, I suppose that's fine..." Ino snagged another brownie, "I hope though that he's feeling good enough to come tonight though. It should be fun. Maybe that's what he needs."
