I have returned from the dan examinations. I passed, of course.

Yukimura, I have something for you. Apparently it's for plants.

[ooc: He got Yukimura one of those pretty glass bulbs used for watering plants]

After some deliberation, I have decided to take the dan-ranking exam for kendo. I will spend the next several weeks training and studying for the exam as well as for any contingency that might occur during my travels for that exam. Thusly, I may have to reduce our group training slightly. I apologise for the inconvenience.
