He lets go of his hair and looks down at his hands again. Ino is being so gentle and supportive, but he's still scared as hell.]

You and Tadashi are so comfortable with each other. You've probably never been this scared over something stupid before.

[ino]

[ Okay, she does laugh a little at that. ]

Of course I have been, plenty of times. [ She never really doubted he liked her, but there were plenty of other issues to be worried about. ] But the most important thing is that we care about each other. As long as I think about that, I'm not really scared anymore.

[arcanepower]

Really? I can't imagine you being scared of anything. You're always so confident, but I've spent most of my life running away.

[He sighs again.]

Hiro tells me that he cares all the time. But I don't know if... I'm ready to try just yet.

[ino]

Everyone gets scared sometimes. Even the strongest and most confident people.

[ She smiles ]

I'm not saying that you have to do any one thing in particular. I just want you to think about this, okay? I know for a fact that Hiro cares about you very much. And I think he would be happy to hear it if you wanted to tell him how you feel.

[arcanepower]

I'll take your word for it.

[He twirls a bit of his hair around his finger. It's getting long again; he needs to cut it.]

Okay. I... I will think about it, I promise. [He can't get Hiro off his mind lately anyway.]

[ino]

Good!

[ Looking pleased with herself, she finally takes one of the dango sticks out of the box for herself to nibble on ]

I'm glad.

[arcanepower]

[He is thinking about it right now. He probably shouldn't, because then things just fall out of his mouth. For now though, he's... okay.]

... These dango are really very good.

[He can probably stick three of them in his mouth at once. Sticks and all. He's considering trying.]

[ino]

[ Yes ... let's keep the food in the mouth. ]

Sometime I'll have to try and make some other flavors, then ... The kind with red bean and green tea flavoring is pretty popular where I come from, too.
