Oshitari-kun, I finished the sets and everything is in order for the play. Hopefully, you will be back before opening curtain on Saturday. It would be a shame, but I suppose we could always push it back another week. The rehearsals I've listened in on have been quite good. I imagine you know that already with your brigade of Aphrodite spies. Next year, we should do "Taming of the Shrew" and you should be the shrew, Oshitari-kun. It's only fitting.

All of the melons are nearing the point where they can be eaten. I admit to helping them along somewhat, but I really wanted cantaloupe the other day. There will probably be a plethora of fruit salads added to our meals for the next few weeks once they're completely ripe.

Niou, do you want to see the sketchbook from our last rendezvous? I think you'll enjoy it.

...we should probably start training in the mornings again so we aren't too out of practice when Genichirou comes back. Does six work for you?

I have doubts about people who enjoy molten lava in their direction.

[Screened]

Quite possibly. I just have to find the line between deadpan and melodramatic, I suppose.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

It can be fun. I like to test my speed.

Screened

I'm sure you can. Just pretend you're completely exasperated with me, Genichirou, or Niou.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

I almost feel I'd be more motivated if I wasn't worrying about the chances of death by lava. But that's not the same for most people.

[Screened]

Which shouldn't be too difficult, I spend most of my time between amusement and exasperation with you all. Though more amusement than anything else.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling it's not real lava.

Screened

It's statements like that that make me wonder about our friendship.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

It's a component mixture of silica and various metamorphic rocks. Not the exact composition of lava, but close enough to hurt.

[Screened]

You make me smile and laugh and sometimes a little frustrated when we disagree. What's there to ponder?

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's why the nectar is on the sidelines.

Screened

It makes me feel like a sociology study. By the way, we need to work on how flexible your wrists are.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I don't doubt it's usefulness.

[Screened]

You aren't. For swordfighting? Or for another reason?

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

None of us are dead.

Screened

Good. Yes. There were at least three times when we trained when I could have knocked your sword out of your hands.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Some of us have been injured.

[Screened]

Ahh. I shall look up some tips for improving that.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

Injured, not dead.

Screened

We can try out those tips when we train next.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

Injury can lead to death, in some cases. There's always a chance of calamity.

[Screened]

Thank you for the observation, Seiichi, it can be difficult to take data on yourself. I'll work hard.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

You can be so negative sometimes.

Screened

On the plus side, you're very good about protecting your blind spots.

[recluse-cicada.livejournal.com]

The disadvantage of partial divine knowledge: pessimism.

[Screened]

I'm more of a defensive fighter, which explains that.

[kaminokusaki.livejournal.com]

One would think you'd be more positive given you know so much.

Screened

Yes, but it leaves you open in your non-blind spots.
