One of father's associates in the Department of Foreign Affairs has a friend in America whose son is coming for exchange and require our humble abode for the period. He plays tennis so I assume he shall join Rikkai tennis club.

Aniki blatantly refused to share his room, claiming that he needs to study for his college entry exams and I was handed the

I'm sure he'll enjoy the dojo, perhaps he'll even be able to teach you some things about American culture?

I'm glad that your family stone was returned to you. It wasn't damged or anything?

I really like the idea of a family tree ours will be better than theirs. We'll have to get the team organised in this.

It's fine, Genichirou. School and other things in life happen; you don't have to worry about anything.

[hat_sama]

I hope he's not a painful addition to the team.

Thankfully no or I'll raise hell though I had to re-engrave the words, they seem... off.

I'm glad you approve. Of course I'm on it.

With the new kid, I might have even lesser time.

Are you feeling better now?

[xneverxgivexup]

I'm sure that he'll be fine.

That's good, then. ^^ But it looks okay now?

It's a fantastic idea, I trust you'll get it sorted.

It's okay, I promise. We can always come to you if you have to be home with the guest?

Mmhmm. I'm coming back to school tomorrow finally And I've got a doctors appointment next week. Hopefully they'll switch my medication to something that actually works so that I'll be able to finish a complete week at school.

[hat_sama]

I hope so too.

Yes. Seiichi, Genichirou, Renji. Troika Always.

My door's always open for you two.

We missed you.

[willowy_renji]

I hope things will work out with the new person.

A family tree? This certainly could be interesting.

And don't worry about it, I've been rather distracted lately myself.

[hat_sama]

I'll make it work.

Seiichi concurs.

Should I be concerned?

[american_cowboy]

Well gee I'd hate to be a burden, if you want I can bring a sleepin' bag and camp out under the moon for nine outta the twelve months. Shucks depending on snow fall I can even manage eleven.

Might need to pack a tent too then...

Hell another riser with the sun? We're gonna get along jus fine pardner. :D

[hat_sama]

That is not the way we treat guests at our house.

If you don't mind a futon, there's no need for a tent or sleeping bag. The wooden floor is good for your back even.

The sun rises at after 0630hours in Japan. Welcome

[american_cowboy]

Well I ain't thinkin' it's rude or nothin'. I'm just an outdoors lovin' cowboy~

I'll make do jus' fine on whatever's available Sanada~ doncha worry 'bout a thing.

Well that'll be darn purdy. Haven't watched a sunrise in ages.

[dadan_desu]

I heard that Billy-san is staying with you desu ^^ I'm sure he'll enjoy himself here desu!

[hat_sama]

You mean Cassidy-san.

By the way, they have banned avian post due to recent bird flu events.

[dadan_desu]

Hai desu! He told me to call him Billy-san desu ^_^

That sucks desu D:

[hat_sama]

Are the two of you very close?

It is disheartening news. Birds should be free.

[ooc - Sanada thinks only close friends and family go by given names]

[brazilian_mocha]

I think it'll be fun having the American among us during practice. He'll get to see what Rikkai training is like. He might end up regretting staying with you before long, though.

You have no sense of humor, mein Führer. ):
.....Your pet is going to feel unloved if you don't give it a proper name. How about Fifi?

I think you missed the point of my essay, Sanada. I'm not really surprised by that, though. Emotions should be worn on one's sleeve. I'm not afraid of other people seeing me cry. Being a regular of Rikkai already proves I'm no weakling, so there's nothing to be ashamed of, and I'm healthier this way.
Maybe you should consider taking some sensitivity training classes. It seems to me you are among the masses afraid of their emotions and because of that, you're making your body unhealthy. I don't think that's setting a very good example as the fukubuchou of our team.

Family tree?! I'm kinda worried over what kind of role I would have in this. :\

[hat_sama]

You better hope he does not join your entourage of charges that you need to babysit. And I fail to see why regret is part of his stay.

Useless. You do know history is my strength? For the last time, it's not a pet.

Being able to control those flighty emotions is a strength we should all emulate. Wearing your heart on your sleeve enables your opponent to see vulnerabilities though I'm sure you're fine.

[brazilian_mocha]

Somehow, I think things would actually be easier for him if he joined those I'm responsible for keeping an eye on. :\ Because you're a dictator and a drill sergeant, that's why. Despite what you may think, normal people don't like that.

A sense of humor can help you relate to your friends and teammates. I don't think that's useless. Everything is your strength, Sanada. Including oppressively ruling over others.
I know! How about Seiichi? I'm sure you'd like that name.

Emotions can confuse your opponents and give them false security. Which lets you the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, don't you think?

[hat_sama]

Why is that so? Are you expecting trouble? If I'm a dictator because I'm not a doormat, then yes I'll like to stay a drill sergeant.

I relate to you just fine. How are you oppressed?

DO NOT BRING SEIICHI INTO THIS.

I think a poker face is the ultimate revenge.
