[ Oh, so Ino hears about the fights before he does? He could ask 'why would it be about Zuko' but he doesn't want to open the door to those answers. ]

I'm not a dangerous presence here. Protecting themselves against me is pointless. [ ANOTHER DOOR-RATTLING PUNCH ]

[ She sighs. ]

Well, they don't trust the door to be able to distinguish between "dangerous" and "non-dangerous", so you're going to have to be patient and wait until Allen comes to let me in.

[ ...

......

..

.....

... ]

I don't want to see a guy as annoying as that right now.

[ She turns a little to face him better, hand on her hip and a smile on her face. ]

Well, if going in is as urgent as it seems to be, then it seems like making that sacrifice and taking the first available chance to go inside is what you'll have to do. Right?

[ ugggggh review your options, Sasuke ]

[ That did not help. ]

[ STARTS TRYING TO CHARGE CHIDORI, please someone stop this ]

[ Oh, for the love of Naruto -- ]

-- Sasuke! You can't solve everything by hitting it!

[ She is seriously cursing Zuko's existence in this moment. ]

[Allen meanwhile has headed over to open the door for Ino, thank goodness she was here. When he opens it up, the first person he sees is Sasuke]

Sasuke-?

[SCRATCH THAT, ITS A SASUKE CHARGING A CHAKRA BALL OF DEATH RIGHT AT ALLEN. EXCUSE ALLEN AS HE YELPS AND JUMPS BACK, ACTIVATING HIS INNOCENCE TO MAKE A SHIELD]

What the hell are you doing?!

[ He'd just had a great conversation with Ino earlier about avoiding harming innocent people and now look.

Instantly he allows that attack to fizzle, though not quite as quickly as he's activated the sharingan in order to stare at Allen and start getting a read on what he's just done. Pure instinct, really, one that completely overrides any surprise at getting yelled at by either of them or seeing him in the first place. ]

... Allen. [ hello ]

[ ... Whew, she is glad that stopped and she didn't have to get in the middle of it. She glances to Sasuke, seeing that he's got his Sharingan activated ... and then back to Allen. Ugh. ]

... Being very offended by the security code, apparently.

[He gives Sasuke a very wary look, especially with that weird eye movement. But when Ino speaks up, he notices her and relaxes- deactivating his Innocence.]

You mean he was trying to break through?

[An annoyed sound]

Gee, I wonder why we need locks on our door!

To keep out actual threats. I'm not Azula, and I'm not someone that's come here to harm anyone.

[ Honestly if anyone's hurt anyone on this ship today then it's Allen, but Sasuke understands that level of fighting and wisely doesn't say that out loud. ] It's irrelevant now that you've opened it anyway.

[ That sharingan isn't going anywhere, not when he hasn't had the chance to size Allen up yet. ]

[ Ino just shakes her head and sighs, walking past Sasuke to go inside.

She is also making a mental note to figure out how the fuck Zuko charmed Sasuke so quickly. ]

It's a door, Sasuke, not a Guardian. It can't tell the difference.

[DUH. But he'll shut and lock the door after them]

Besides, Sokka asked us not to give the code to anyone whose not in our crew. I'm not even allowed to give it to Ino, okay? [ITS NOT PERSONAL...THIS TIME]

I didn't ask for the code.

[ No, he just wanted to destroy the door. But now he's glancing down to his communicator when it buzzes, gripping it tightly. This is exactly what he wanted to avoid, having to see and gain the attention of other people. ]

Ino isn't stupid enough to give the code to anyone else. That reaction is still extreme.

It's not like I think he thinks I'm stupid, Sasuke. It's just to keep everyone safe.

[ And the more people who know something confidential, the easier it is for that something to get out, somehow. ]

There's a very easy solution here. It's called "texting someone on the ship to let you in".

[He gives a nod to what Ino says] Exactly. I'm sure you can somehow manage that, Sasuke!

[Though, actually.]

Except...why are you even here?

[ He's growing increasingly agitated for a plethora of petty reasons, feeling patronized -- one of the main triggers for his temper as a child though it's faded considerably since then. Otherwise there'd already be an issue.

Another glance down to his communicator has him then looking towards the airlock door, questioning himself. ]

Not for any reasons that'll affect you. You two need to go take care of the aftermath of a fight, correct?

[ Allen will get a little telepathic message that says: "Separation anxiety," as she answers Sasuke's question. ]

You're right. You don't look like you were hurt too badly, Allen?

[He's about to say something, when he gets that message from Ino. Which man...it takes so much willpower not to laugh jeez]

Ah- right.

Just a few cuts and bruises. Zuko got hit harder, but he insists he'll ask Katara. [who will hurt him more, but whatever man]

I think he's in the kitchen, Sasuke. [If you want to be reunited]

[ I hate everything in this world.

But it gives him an excuse to walk out of this thread, albeit stoically and trying to look as if that information is in no way of interest to him but just happens to casually coincide with his desire to move towards the kitchen.

Whatever, it isn't important. ]
