[ (Please don't listen to Sasuke. Sasuke is weird and dumb, even for a ninja.)
Peter is a good guy. He's kinder than she would've expected, especially from their first meeting—but maybe neither of them came out of that looking that great. Even though his concern is misplaced (mostly), she can't help but feel touched anyway. (She's figured you out, Peter... you're a sensitive soul... but she's enough of a sensitive soul too to find it endearing.)
Sometimes, it is kinder to pretend you don't see tears—Ino doesn't know if that's true right now, but that’s what she does. If Peter is making jokes, then things are already looking up. ]
Please, I didn't hit you that hard. [ Sure, Ino... but her smile is kind when she adds: ] Yeah, sure.
And tell me about it. Though apparently we're getting treehouses now.
