Ah, the Island seems to have given me one of those baskets too~! How wonderful ♥ Look, this one has real tea in it~ I'm fairly sure this blend doesn't force people to tell the truth, but let's test it privately, Hijikata-san. And a little stack of mochi for the new year~

...and my uniform...? It's certainly been a while since I saw this. Well,

Your uniform? Where did you find it?

--And do I get a present too?

[swordwithasmile]

Happy "Christmas," Tetsu-kun~! I found it in a basket by the door~ The rest of it is inside, since I have the feeling this red snow would never come out if I got it on the coat!

...You do indeed. One moment~ *dashing inside and coming out after a moment with a carefully scraped-smooth stick made of heavy wood, just a little shorter than a standard katana* I'm no carver, I can't make a proper bokken, but this should do for you to practice with!

[tryforward]

Oh, you got one of those too? Why is yours much better than mine??

[oooh, not bad :O] So then we can get back to sparring, right?!

[swordwithasmile]

You got one, Tetsu-kun? What was in it? Seniority?

Yes, definitely! We can't be letting you get too far out of practice. ♥

[tryforward]

Mine was really weird... There was a comb, a doll of Saya and one of Tatsu-nii too. Only, the doll of him talked.

When can we start?

[swordwithasmile]

Let me guess~ it said something along the lines of "TETSUUUUU---!!" *attempting to imitate the despairing brotherly wail as best as I can*

And as soon as the ground's no longer icy!

[tryforward]

Yeah! And it sounded just like him! It was kind of creepy.

[stares at the ground. go away, snow >(] ...How long do you think that will be?

[swordwithasmile]

Hmmm. I couldn't say how long it will take! If this were a normal place, I'm afraid it would be months... but on this island, it could be tropical again tomorrow.

However long it takes, be sure to get some practice in the meantime! Or you'll have extra bruises ♥

[tryforward]

Don't worry about that! I train all the time!

[swordwithasmile]

I'm glad to hear it~!

...How have things been going for you, otherwise, Tetsu-kun? Settling in here well..?

[tryforward]

Well, yeah, thing have been pretty...

[tryforward]

[akshjaksj no wait]

[swordwithasmile]

[tryforward]
