Format: Video

[Kyo shifts, in getting comfortable a bit more as he glances to the watch before giving a beaming grin. Which one might note in how extremely rare that is to see on him of all people. But well, even Kyo has his certain....perhaps weaknesses isn't exactly right, but he has his certain hobbies and interests he gets excited about. Genuinely.

One of which is martial arts. And from the surroundings, Kyo seems to have finally managed to sort figuring a dojo. He gestures around him, grinning and all but bouncing in excitement.]

Hey guys! I know there's....a lot going on so this might not necessarily be the best timing but. I finally figured setting up a dojo! I know a few of you seemed keen when I talked about the idea before, so. This is it! I finally have a proper space for training! And I can teach some of you the basics in hand to hand if you want to learn. Not sure if some might want a crash course before you guys head off, but. Yeah, just wanted to let everyone know.

[Yes, he is well aware that this timing is...well, kind of odd. But it is how it turned out. It might work out anyway in giving them a bit of time to start training at least, before some of them leave, if they wanted. Regardless, Kyo just wanted to get it out there that he was sorted and now 'open', as it were.]

I saw him over there in that other city. In that dream.. or whatever it was. [ It was her first time experiencing anything like that, so she still isn't really sure how to refer to it. Especially now people are actually going to go there. ]

He seemed pretty shaken up by it all. Is he doing better now?

[juzubeads]

Yeah, that.....well, it's kind of harder to tell with him, given he's usually all smiles and loud.

[Though part of that is probably a facade, given the Sohma and their complicated families and all. But Kyo doesn't necessarily really know Momiji as well as some of the others that saw him more often back home, like Hatori and Tohru seeing him at work.]

[integrous]

[ That really would make it harder to tell, huh. This is exactly part of why Asahi hates lying so much - it makes things so unnecessarily complicated at times. There's a worried frown on her face. ]

Did you.. at least ask him about it?

[ Apparently that seems like the obvious first step to her after a dream like that, but then again, Asahi is very set in her own beliefs. ]

[juzubeads]

I figured he would tell me when and if he was ready.

[Kyo is well aware he and Momiji aren't necessarily the closest of the Sohma. He figures it would be strange if here he tried to be all buddy or whatever. So he's just mostly trying to keep things as he used to be back home with the rabbit. Or as close to, with living together now and all.]

[integrous]

.. I guess..

[ She sounds a little sulky when she says it, but she can't really blame him for that when it's not like she herself tried to contact the boy to ask. But they were practically still strangers, it'd be super weird if she did it, right? ]

Well, at least it's good to know he isn't totally alone in this place. This is no place for kids. [ Asahi, you're not even that much older... Please.. ]

[juzubeads]

....You do know he is a year younger than me, right? He's not that young as you might be assuming.

[It isn't like she would be the first or likely last to underestimate him for his age. Assuming he was younger than he really was, given Momiji's appearance and personality/behaviour.]

[integrous]

W.. Wait a second.

[ That doesn't sound right. They're talking about the same kid here, right? ]

How old are you then? [ Maybe it's just that Kyo is younger than he looks? ]

[juzubeads]

Sixteen.

[She will hardly be the first to be surprised by that.]

[integrous]

But then he's.. [ There's a pause. Like she has to calculate this for real, despite it not being all that hard to only subtract one year.. Ssh, let her live, okay. ]

Fifteen?! [ Sorry for your eardrums there, Kyo. ] But he looks younger than that, for real! I treated him as if he was way younger than me!

[juzubeads]

You're not the first that thought he was younger. He's probably used to it.

[And used to taking advantage of it, knowing Momiji and his penchant for using his looks to get what he wants.]

[integrous]

[ Asahi groans, burying her face in her hands. ]

You don't think I made myself look like some huge dumb idiot, do you? [ Yes, apparently Kyo now has to help her with this problem. Just because he happens to be the one she's talking to through this. ]

[juzubeads]

It's fine. Like I said you probably aren't the first one. I know you're not the first, given at least one person back home had no idea how old he really was.

[Given Tohru's surprise when she found out Momiji and Haru were joining them at school and only a year younger.]

[integrous]

.. If you say so. Then I guess I'll just try talking to him again if I see him around.

[juzubeads]

Sure. You're probably more likely to run into him than you are with me. He's way more social and all. And he's newer so still exploring and figuring this place in comparison, I guess.
