The time is now!

[abileunaspada]

Who: Adela Milani (abileunaspada) & OPEN
When: August 1st
Where: Konohagakure
What: Adela has reached the end date of her leave, and an important decision has come during the time off. Whether it is with a curious friend or with the Hokage himself, Adela is going to announce her plans and take the first true step towards her goals.

It was... Strange. She felt so calm then, more sure of herself than she suspected she ever had in her life. There wasn't anything special about that day, apart from it being ridiculously hot out (though that was normal for Konoha's summers). The exams were done, and although she had heard whispers about tensions rising between the ninja nations, there was something she knew she could do about it. The question was how the Hokage himself would take it.

At some point she stopped to get some iced coffee, sighing at the slightly bitter beverage as she shaded herself from the sun. The meeting with the Hokage wouldn't happen for a little while yet, so she could afford the stop, but... What would everyone think of her new goal? Of the ambition she had given herself to keep going, when she had failed so much before?

No. It was because she had failed so much before that she felt she could do this now. She could at least start, and find her strength her own way. Even so, there were probably a few people she'd have to talk to first - about everything.

"I wouldn't worry, he'll listen to whatever you have to say." Because their Hokage cared a great deal about his subordinates and would listen to whatever she had to say.

[abileunaspada]

"I know he'll listen, it's how he'll react that I'm worried about."

[gentledheart]

She pats the girl on the shoulder and smiles. "Whatever it is, he'll take it in stride. There's very little that can be said or done that will upset him."

[abileunaspada]

"... Normally that'd be true. This is kinda big, though," She shook her head, shoulders slumping under Hinata's grip as she glanced down at her coffee again. It was almost empty... She kind of wanted another one.

"It's not something I should go spreading around either, not until I know his thoughts on it. It'd just be disrespectful to him as Hokage if I did."

[gentledheart]

"He's good with big, don't worry too much about it. Yondaime wouldn't have picked him if he couldn't." She wishes she could do something to make Adela feel better about whatever she needed to share with the Hokage. But she figures the best she can do is talk up Obito's ability to take whatever she's about to throw at him.

"That's alright, I understand."

[abileunaspada]

"... We'll see. I've still got some time before the meeting's supposed to happen, so I can think of how to word it at least," Adela ended up murmuring, her lips tugging into a thoughtful frown as she swished around the remnants of her iced coffee in her cup. It'd be difficult, but not impossible, to get her point across. She'd be able to do it, probably... No. She had to be more confident than that. Definitely.

She'd definitely do it.

She smiles and stands slowly so as not to hurt herself. "I'll leave you alone so you can figure out what you would like to say to Hokage-sama. Good luck Milani-san."

[abileunaspada]

"... Thanks," She only replied with a nod, watching Hinata carefully out of the corner of her eye before going back to her drink. Doubting herself wasn't an option, and... Hearing the encouragement from Hinata was kinda helpful. Kind of.

Only kind of.

Maybe.
