Are you back from your little date?

Kendo went well. It was a tad wearisome -- there were not many members who could match me -- but the exercise was a welcome distraction.

[burnthistown]

Sephiroth could try to conceal his smugness the next time we attend practice, however. It was rather unbecoming and off-putting.

[burnthistown]

I'm fine, thank you for asking.

[burnthistown]

I had hoped the girl was not too wearisome, but I see she thoroughly tired you out.

[butindreams]

i was studying! we're in college, gen. that's what we do.

[butindreams]

glad kendo went well. seph said you were good and he had fun, too

[butindreams]

and her name is Cissnei, Gen. not "the girl".

[burnthistown]

Amongst other things, I'm sure.

I'm glad Cissnei has taught you how to capitalize proper nouns over text, however, so I can't begrudge her the "study session." Has she taught you anything else in the meantime?

Hmph. Sephiroth would say that.

[butindreams]

gen, it's me. we were just studying and you know it. cetran lit. you're in the class too, you know! you're welcome to join us if you want.

[butindreams]

he did. he said you were good and he had fun. he actually smiled. it's nice you went together. did you like it?

[burnthistown]

While I appreciate the invitation, I think I'll pass on it. You sell me short, Angeal, by inviting me to a study session for Cetran lit, and I don't think I want to watch the two of you simpering at each other over Loveless.

I already said it was a good practice. Thank you for paying attention.

[butindreams]

gen you're in the same class. you know we're studying the Cycle of the Forgotten City. and you probably don't need to be there because you're already an expert in this stuff :)

you're welcome. now you want to tell me what's the matter or do we have to do this in person with me taking gawain hostage to get you to talk?

[burnthistown]

[Genesis is preening a little bit at the compliment.]

Nothing is the matter. Why does everything have to be the matter with you?

[butindreams]

you texted me four times in ten minutes or whatever. gen, i know you. what's up?

[burnthistown]

Nothing, as I said. Did you have a nice chat with Sephiroth?

[butindreams]

sure. he said he had fun, you were good at kendo, and that the sensei had an underaged ninja daughter. you going to go back next week?

[burnthistown]

Of course. Why wouldn't I? That teenaged brat was certainly annoying, I will admit, but it would take more than her to drive me away from the only dojo for miles.

[butindreams]

i'm glad you had fun, gen. you enjoy sparring Seph? is he any good?

[burnthistown]

Why don't you ask him?

[butindreams]

Because I'm asking you if you had fun

[burnthistown]

Hmph. Well, it was certainly nice to spar with someone of my own skill level after so long a time, I'll grant him that.

[butindreams]

That's great, Gen. I know you hate wasting your time with people who don't have potential

[burnthistown]

If only he had potential in more than this one domain. Listening to him fumbling through Cetra lit is an absolute nightmare.

[butindreams]

he won your match, didn't he.

[burnthistown]

We sparred more than once.
