Build Your Own Philosophy, Monday, 4/19, Period 2

[tyler_gone]

Tyler handed out crisp sheets of paper as the students got to class today. Finals were SRS BSNS, apparently.

"Welcome to your last week of class," he said. "This is a test. Pass it, and you get a good grade. Fail it, and you don't. No cheating, no talking, if you finish early you may leave or sit quietly and stare into space. I'm at my desk if you have questions. Thank you. Have a good summer."

And that was where it ended.

"It's been earned," Tyler said, distracted, as he finished opening the box and saw ... what looked like a totally ordinary apple pie.

Huh.

He prodded at the center with a forefinger. "Ino, this almost looks like you just did something nice."

That was absolutely not a blush. Totally not.

(Except how it kinda was.)

"I am always nice," she said loftily, deciding to try and rise above her discomfort at the whole... nice thing. "My definition is just a little different than most peoples' nice."

"This seems to be normal person definition of nice," Tyler said, then realized he was making her blush and backed down. "Thanks. I'll try not to eat it all at once."

She sniffed, fighting back a smile.

"But you didn't think it was normal person nice at first," Ino pointed out. "So I win." Win what, Ino? "And if you did, you'd probably be sick, so it's probably a bad idea to even consider that."

That was her way of saying 'you're welcome'.

"... win what?" Tyler asked, eyes flickering over her. He looked about half a heartbeat from smiling. "Didn't know this was a contest."

Re: Talk to Tyler [4/18]

[intraspective]

"Everything's a contest," she said promptly. "And I won 'cause you weren't expecting normal and so I wasn't predictable."

Re: Talk to Tyler [4/18]

"You win," Tyler said, in a let's-humor-the-child kind of tone that just might be mildly infuriating. "How are you? Got plans for summer yet?"

Hmph. Ino raised her eyebrows at him. See? See? He was totally not riling her up.

Ino shrugged. "Don't know yet, honest. Sticking 'round the island, maybe a few missions back home if I'm lucky, dealin' with Zack and stuff. He's going to teach me how to use a sword."

Fear that. The very last thing she needed was another weapon to use.

"Maybe monster-huntin' back in his world if he feels up to goin' back and I feel... up to goin' with him."

Tyler's eyebrows shot up in mild alarm, though he tried to keep it from showing too much. "Sounds good," he said. "Stay safe, all of that."

Re: Talk to Tyler [4/18]

[intraspective]

"Safe is what normal people do," she said, grinning a bit at that. "I'll do my best to stay alive, though."
