[ She laughs ]

I got the impression from talking to him that you're already quite the troublemaker.

[everydayhero]

He starts it.

[immediately shot back]

[ino]

He said he was glad you finally had something "legal" to occupy your time.

[ She's not judging, but she's pretty sure Tadashi didn't start THAT

[everydayhero]

... Did you tell him about the jobs we ran?

[this Oh Shit face is probably priceless]

[ino]

Of course not.

[ She's not about to have Tadashi doubting her ability to take care of him while he was gone. ]

But that's what I meant by "troublemaker".

[everydayhero]

[Look at this charming little grin.]

I'm not.. that bad...

[ino]

[ Here's a disbelieving eyebrow raise. Suuure you aren't, Hiro. Sure you aren't. ]

[everydayhero]

What? He ended up in jail with me, he's an accomplice.

[ino]

You two went to jail? Seriously?

[everydayhero]

For an hour or so, yeah. It was just a little bot fighting. It wasn't illegal.

[...]

The amount of money I walked out with after hustling them was very illegal, though.

[ino]

[ A deep sigh ]

Let's save the hustling for when you can actually disappear and not get caught.

[ NOT ... OPPOSED TO IT THOUGH .. LMFAO ]

[everydayhero]

... [c:]

Have I told you that you're the best? Because you're the best.

[ino]

[ Can't ... help but smile a little. Because she is a huge sucker for compliments. EVEN THOUGH SHE IS STARTING TO SEE WHAT TADASHI WAS TALKING ABOUT. ]

You might even be able to learn transformation jutsu, too ...

[everydayhero]

[It's a good thing you actually love Hiro so much, Ino, because he's going to need so much forgiveness over time.]

You're kidding.

[ino]

Yeah! That'd totally be handy.

[ She'll demonstrate -- with a little 'poof' and a cloud, there's another you now sitting across from you, Hiro ]

See?

[everydayhero]

[... ... ...]

Is the gap in my teeth really that bad?

[KINDA... COVERING HIS MOUTH A LITTLE]

[ino]

[ COVERS HER (HIS?) MOUTH ... TRYING NOT TO LAUGH ... ]

I'm sorry. It's an exact replica, I can't really "edit" it, so to speak.

[ She's even got the voice down, though it probably sounds weird coming from .. not .. himself ]

[everydayhero]

... This is really weird.

[HE'S MAKING SUCH A FACE]

[ino]

[ She'll poof back to her normal self! And laugh a little. Poor kid ]

It's mostly used as a distraction technique at home, but it can be useful for blending in to crowds or other things like that.

[everydayhero]

[finally moving his hand away from his mouth at least]

I can see where it'd be useful. Definitely if you're gambling high-stakes.

[ino]

[ ... ]

How high stakes are we talking, here?

[everydayhero]

... Well, that time Tadashi and I got arrested? We might have been evading an angry mob.

[ino]

[ Just ... this icon. 100% this icon. ]

Troublemaker is right.

[everydayhero]

I'm not a troublemaker! He offered to take me to another bot fight after that, you know.

[ino]

You absolutely are.

Who, Tadashi? [ But he seems like such a goody two-shoes. Also, is nobody watching these boys? Good lord. ]
