D0LM, Arrival (Open)

[Seppun Urusai]

"I've known some students like that," Urusai says.

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"You are a teacher, Suppun-sama?"

[Seppun Urusai]

"Oh, no!" Urusai replies and chuckles. "I am not so skilled or so wise as that! But that does not mean I have not seen fellow students act--or what follows when the sensei see what the students had thought hidden."

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"Oh!" she laughed. "Now I understand. I think there are students like that everywhere."

[Seppun Urusai]

"Seems so," Urusai affirms.

"I trust you're not one such?"

He grins.

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"Somewhat the opposite, if I'm honest." she admitted. "Outside, on my own, training with the animals or the bow, I'm fine. But, put me in a room to practice calligraphy with someone and I'll fidget and get distracted."

[Seppun Urusai]

"I've always done better in company, myself. Though there's not so much animal handling at Kyuden Seppun, I think."

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"I just don't like being inside." she shrugged. "Hopefully, there won't be many indoor tests."

[Seppun Urusai]

"I suppose some will depend on weather," Urusai notes. "Although some would certainly have to be indoors for effect. Or so I have heard; I cannot say with certainty."

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"I'll just have to do well in the ones I can." she shrugged. "It should be fine."

[Seppun Urusai]

"I'll look for your performance, then," Urusai offers, nodding.

[Shinjo Jingyi]

"Thank you, Seppun-sama." she dipped her head. "At the least, I hope to learn from my fellow competitors. For now, however, I suppose we should actually enter Tsuma."

[Seppun Urusai]

"I'll look forward to seeing you therein!"

He bows again.

[Shinjo Jingyi]

She bowed in parting and led her menagerie into town.
