Even if the winds take away the footprints, Even if time passes

Lenalee, thank you for your help this afternoon. I'm still a little unsure about this costume, but if you think it looks alright, I'll take your word for it! Ah, it really was nice to meet you too. I'd like to do something again sometime, maybe? Maybe over the weekend. Between kendo classes and training Yahiko extra, I'm kind of pressed for time during the week!

Oh... Kenshin, Yahiko, Sanosuke... We are going right? I've found a costume and everything.


[ooc: costume!]

Aaah! Nothing beats a good practice while it's cool out and a nice warm bath! I think the bathrooms here are a little strange, but it's so nice not having to heat up the water myself. Or get Kenshin to do it, come to think of it.

Hmm.. I sonder if I should hold classes later in the day in the spring. It would be nice to practice when it's not the hottest part of the day. That would leave the morning to do chores, and make sure Yahiko does HIS training. Mm. I think that's what I'll do.

Kenshin, you're doing alright aren't you? Are your students a handful?

I don't think I've had to work so hard ever! It's so nice to have a nearly full dojo every day! I know most of these students don't really understand kendo fully, but it's somewhere to start at least! Everyone's doing such a good job, and they're trying their best. I'm really impressed. I'm sure father would be proud if he knew how many people were interested in learning the style! Yahiko you better keep up! You've got to stay on top.

Kenshin, when you can, could you come by? I haven't seen you in a while.

Hmm.. I think this is everything I'll need.


I've got most everything I'll need for the dojo here on campus listed. I just hope that the man in charge is going to okay it all. Surely he doesn't expect me to pay for this all out of my own pocket. ... though I suppose I could recruit Yahiko to bring things from home... That's just a lot more work.

Oh, Kenshin! When you get the chance could you get some miso, rice, salt, and tofu from the store in town? I can give you the money. I don't want to get out of practice cooking, even if there's a cafeteria on campus. ...It's a little strange talking to people through this machine. I think I like talking to them in person better. I'll have to come visit again another time.

Hm... I really hope I'm right about this place. I could really use more students for the dojo. Father would have agreed with me coming here, even if it meant leaving home for a little while. I just hope everything back in Tokyo will be alright. The house here is awfully comfortable. It's very western! I've never had the luxury of staying in a place like this before, even if I'm sharing it with a stranger.

...I don't think I've seen him around yet, come to think of it. Hm...
