[ drained as he is, it's easy enough to tell that ino's trying to lighten the mood. she worries, in her own way.
as someone with a veritable phd in being a massive killjoy, it's kind of admirable. his disposition stays as shitty as it was before anyway, but there's no helping that right now. ]
I'm not that worried. She can take care of herself. [ then, a minute's delay. which is rare enough for him, given that he rarely actually thinks before he speaks, but— ] I'm just trying to cover all the bases and get my shit together. [ tie up all the loose ends. ] So if neither of us are back in a couple days, you're in charge of finding her.
[ okay, that. is a little more worrying. jean is a downer, yes, but this is the first time he's pulled "if we don't come back" out of thin air on her. ]

Have you heard about the blue mission? I'm doing it

[ he sounds like he's starting to get really worried... it would be cute if she wasn't a little worried too. ]
