...Is anyone interested in sparring with swords? I'm highly out of practice, but I'll give it everything I've got. All I need is a distraction or something to clear my mind with for awhile. Physical activity is a good outlet. And I spent enough time dancing already.
Speaking of sparring... are there any dojos still running here after Ryou and Nanami left? I would be interested in continuing lessons where I left off, if possible.

...This is ridiculous. I shouldn't be dwelling on such things. I have more important duties here to be taking care of. I can't be concerned with these feelings. I don't even know if they're real or not. Am I just falling to the pressure of memories I can't even recall?
Goddammit. No matter what I do, I can't seem to stop thinking about it. Or her. What utter nonsense. Is this place finally making me go mad after all this time? There's no reason for this, dammit.
...I'm aware that she's not a child anymore. Far too aware, thanks to-- Perhaps I kept treating her like one just to avoid this awkwardness if it would ever arise. She's a girl here, not just a duck. This place breaks all of the rules that were set straight again when the story ended. She's still the same inside, of course, but...
...Maybe I'm the one who needs to grow up.

[ ooc: Strikes outside of private tags are difficult to hack. ...And yes. It's practically a week later, but he's STILL hung up on it. And looking for a distraction. lol ]
