i!!! let's get down to business

[hoasen]

[she's shang and he's mulan apparently.

When he swings down with the broom, he'd feel a sudden thud; that was Vietnam walking into the room but miscalculated her walk since being exhausted has taken a toll on her speed.

It hasn't on her strength though, and since she was able to see it coming, she lifted her arm time to lightly block it. She just tilts her head curiously to the side.]

Are you training swordsmanship?

to defeat... the dust....

[swordsitter]

V-Vietnam-san! [ haru drops the broom in shock, and it clatters to the ground as he takes a step closer to gently take her arm. ] I-- I'm so sorry, are you okay? [ he's already rolling her sleeve up to check... ]

I didn't-- I thought I was alone here--

[ even if his face doesn't show much expression, his eyes are still pretty horrified. ]

that dust can lead to hayfever. be swift like the coursing river

[hoasen]

[Ah, he's so cute? She lets him inspect her arm anyway, so she keeps very still. There's a mark where he hit her, but it's not a bruise, just a slight reddening that is slowly fading. She's practiced enough with wooden objects to not have it hurt her that much.]

I am fine, Haru. Tired, but still steady, see? [She reaches out with her free hand to stroke his hair, ugh she can't help it.] I only just arrived, I should have made my presence known.

ugh loads up youtube tbh

[swordsitter]

[ his ears and face go red under the headpat. he's just not used to mom figures at all.. ]

Ah, n-no, I should've been paying more attention.. [ her arm is red, but it doesn't look too bad? still.. ] Maybe we should put something on it. I have some stuff in the bathroom--

[ a glance back up again. ] You're still tired? Some of my swords are, too. Mutsu-kun isn't himself at all..

yes good best bg music...

[hoasen]

[Was that too much?! But he's not complaining...also this is the most comfortable headpat ever shh.]

No no, I should have told you I was coming. [She shakes her head though.] You do not have to mind, it shows on the surface like this but it does not sting. It will heal shortly. I regenerate. [She's not sure if she told him this yet. Some of the swords know, even though they still won't let her fight?!]

I am...I was talking to Mutsunokami about it too, we wondered if it was because we felt so energetic some time ago. You're looking better though.

[swordsitter]

[ he never gets headpats from moms.. it was pretty great.. ]

Oh-- really? [ he bites his lower lip, glancing down at the red mark one last time.. but finally slowly smoothing her sleeve back down. if she says so.. if she's sure it's okay.. ]

I'm finally getting over my cold, I think. I still have a little bit of a cough, but it's not bad anymore. My energy's been through the roof, though.

[hoasen]

[She usually can't reach either so this is a win-win situation for them both. THANKS SONIWA.]

Yes, I would take your offer if I was bleeding. [Since...that would leave a mess. He's so nice, what a kind soul.] Thank you for your concern, I believe my arm is healed up just because of it. [Ah, she can talk more with him too.]

Goodness, if you have a cough, have you been eating more oranges for it? Honey? [Stop freaking out!!] Is that why you were training too? A lot of energy?

[swordsitter]

[ clearly they were made to be vietmom and soniwa.. ]

Ah-- Vietnam-san is too kind. [ there's no way it's healed up just from concern..!

he blinks at the questions, eyes widening. ] O-Oh, ah.. I've been taking medicine. It's okay, though, I get sick once or twice a year. It's just normal. [ he glances down at the fallen broom, then stoops to pick it back up, gripping it close to his chest. ] I've been taking Sousei-san's class, but.. I've missed a lot lately between all the damage and flooding and being sick. So I just.. practice where I can..

[hoasen]

[This is a meeting that was fated to happen!!!]

N-no, I speak only the truth... [STOP IT HARU...

But good, she looks relieved now.] O-oh, really? I mean that is not too uncommon, but for you to get sick... [She just doesn't want him to be sick! Watching him as he lifts the broom again, his makeshift weapon--] I see, you are very diligent. Sousei would be impressed. [By his diligence, she's not entirely sure about skills since she's no kendoka. She gestures towards the broom.] Is it too long?

[swordsitter]

[ ah, well, about sousei.. ] Well, I hope so. I feel really bad about missing his class, but.. this place has just been too unpredictable, and with the weird thing going on where so many people feel so tired..

[ he has a hard time leaving his swords, too.

he glances down at the broom, though, blinking once. ] .. Oh. Um.. well, it's not.. balanced right or anything, I just-- Normally, I'd use a bokken. But I was cleaning and it just-- [ you know, he wound up going from sweeping to practicing.. ]

[hoasen]

[It's okay, she can bring food and maybe bribe Sousei (WAIT).] Yes...I mean I am sure he is busy too, while everything was happening. You can catch up, but after things are sorted out. Practice is best for now. Especially if you have energy. [Unlike the rest of them, ah.]

You got distracted from one task and tried another? Aha, perhaps you should take a break from cleaning and use your bokken. You will be able to do your tasks more efficiently.
