no subject
[ he... leaves about as much money as it would be for two people to eat on the table. they didn't dine and dash, or anything, but the restaurant reserved their table and lost out on sales, didn't it...?
but, he gets up, and turn to her with a smile! ]
Let's go then, Peko!
no subject
In either case, while she won't argue to Soramaru leaving money, she certainly isn't leaving any of her own. Even if she feels bad since he's paying for a date they didn't actually have. Introducing swordplay has removed it from the realm of what she imagines a normal date to be, after all!]
Very well. Would you prefer I retrieve my shinai from home, and meet you somewhere? Or are blades fine?
[She doesn't know his skill level, after all, and with how dangerous this colony can be, she's stopped carrying her shinai everywhere in exchange for the katana Katsura had gotten her for Christmas. Also:]
...Are you like your brother in that you also prefer to be called by your first name, as well?
1/2
[ ---it's not as if he unsheaths it. the kumou blades are gone -- but the replacement is still 'a sword to protect'. he doesn't need the sharp edge, he doesn't need to draw blood to be able to protect those he needs to. ]
---Ah, I don't mind. When people say "Kumou", they usually think of Aniki first, so I'm used to it...
no subject
no subject
[She's actually rather pleased by his answer, giving him a firm nod. No smile, but that's pretty normal for Peko. She understands only wanting to draw a blade when it's absolutely necessary, and being around someone who respects that is a nice change.
As for her name, though?]
...Soramaru, then. [It feels strange to call someone by their first name while having them call her by her last... but it feels even stranger to immediately be on a first-name basis with a Japanese person, as well.]
For me, Pekoyama or Peko is fine, but Peko-chan is off-limits. [Tenka...]
no subject
...We're still on a date, right? So, we shouldn't split up, I think. Then, we can head to the dojo where Master works? I'm sure he wouldn't mind me being there after-hours.
no subject
[Another nod as she starts walking, expecting the other to follow. Ah, but the comment about the dojo piques her interest, and she glances back to him.]
Who is your master?
no subject
Abe no Sousei! We're from the same place--- And he's a friend of Aniki's. It was hard to get him to agree to train me, but... in the end, he agreed.
no subject
[Moreso than she'd ever wanted to, really, thanks to that glitch that had swapped their memories. Again, though, that's another level of respect Soramaru's gained in Peko's eyes; if he's being trained by Sousei, he must have extraordinary discipline.]
I'm very interested to see what you've learned from him.
no subject
[ he looks away bashfully, scratching his cheek. he has improved under sousei - he knows that much. he can feel himself being stronger, can notice the change in the speed of his movements, has seen the muscle that came with training harder outside practice to impress him when they picked up again, but -- ... he wants to be praised for those things without drawing attention to them. ]
I'm still nowhere near his level --
no subject
That's fine. Perhaps I will be able to show you some things, then, too.
[Though she certainly isn't going to underestimate him. She didn't get the title of Super High School Level by assuming she'd be able to beat everyone she comes across.]
How long have you been training under him?
no subject
[ --ah, he was getting ahead of himself before he's answered her question. ]
Ah -- A little over a year, though.
no subject
Then I'll be happy to show you anything I can.
["Happy" she says, even though her expression hasn't softened into a smile once.]
You said it was difficult to get him to train you... how so?
no subject
[ ...sousei might be mad at him, if he says this. but... he's getting to know new people, right? trying to be his own person and not just his older brother's shadow. if he has stories, he should tell them. ]
It's... a bit of a long story, you know? But, uh... Master needed something done in the prison, so...
no subject
[She doesn't seem unhappy or offended, just interested, really. While she may have never been arrested or imprisoned herself (that she remembers), prison is just another part of life for anyone involved in the yakuza.]
Were you arrested, or did he have you sneak in? Or is it something you cannot talk about?
no subject
[ he shuffles a little, looking away. ]
He rejected me as his student before that, saying I couldn't offer him anything in return, so I infiltrated it disguised as an inmate to prove myself to him.
no subject
[She glances toward him when he shuffles, then returns her attention forward as she opens the door to the apartment complex her apartment is in to let him pass through first.]
You don't seem like the kind of person who would do well in prison for a lengthy period of time, but I suppose he accepted you after that?
[That's... a compliment? An insult?? Who knows.]
no subject
[ he gives a small nod of thanks, entering the apartment. ]
Aah. We've trained just about every day since... There were a few weeks of off time due to injuries and such, but...
no subject
[Peko's apartment is rather small, but fairly cozy. Its main room wouldn't look terribly out of place as a single room in an older Japanese home, really, all hardwood floors, a low table to sit at with cushions, and a kamidana in one corner. There's a couch across from a wall-mounted TV as well, a nod to the modern era she's actually from, and a bookshelf filled with technical sword manuals and animal encyclopedias, but what she's more interested in is her shinai, resting against the wall near her black kendo uniform. It's short work to pull out her katana and replace its position in her bag with the shinai, then turn to face him again.]
Let's go.
no subject
[ the walk to soramaru's own apartment isn't far or long - and they're quickly in the place he shares with his brothers and sousei. it's just as homey - made to look as much like a shrine house as possible, modern appliances for convenience strewn here and there.
for a house that tenka lives in, it's well-kept. ]
...Do you think the Dojo's open? Should we look for Master's keys?
no subject
[That seems rude and slightly dangerous... but then again, it is for extra training. Surely Sousei wouldn't mind. Maybe he'd even approve?]
Yes, let's find his keys, just in case.
[What could possibly go wrong?]
no subject
[ and - he takes out his phone and starts to text! ]
no subject
Have you had any luck?
no subject
First drawer of his nightstand. He said that--
[ ...ah, and that's when he notices sousei's several guns? he's never seen master use anything like that, and wonders about them a bit, so he takes... a picture of the Pile of Guns and sends it questioningly. ]
no subject
[She frowns when he cuts himself off, entering behind him and pausing at the sight of all the guns. From the way Soramaru takes a picture and goes back to texting, it's clear he's not familiar with them, either.]
Does Abe normally use firearms...?
[He hadn't seemed the type. Anyway, she's just going to move to his nightstand to look for the keys.]
