Crap! Tamaki thought to himself as he ran to the tent Haruhi had set up. The rain was coming down and Tamaki`s blonde hair starting sticking to his face. He tried to flick his head back, getting it out of his eyes but it did not work very well. Even though he wanted to use his hands, Tamaki couldn`t because they were full. He did not mind the rain, it was just a little troublesome at the moment.

FInally, finding where Haruhi was stationed, Tamaki made his way inside. With a loud sigh, he placed everything he brought on the table. A few blankets. articles of clothing and a small bag of food. "I`m sorry, Haruhi! I wanted to bring things but it`s raining and they all got wet!" He frowned at Haruhi, disappointed at himself.

:(( Sorry for the lateness.

She looked up from her current position and gave him a warm smile. She noticed that he was wet, and his hands were full of... things. They were rather disorganized once he set them on the table, but it was a nice gesture of him nonetheless.

"You're all wet," she stated and grabbed one of the dry blankets in the pile. She held it out to him.

Oh, but wait. Wasn't that one of the blankets on the couch in the living room? As her eyes scanned more of the pile of stuff, she noticed other things that they might still be using. Did he just randomly go through drawers and cabinets and grab anything that he could get his hands on?

Haruhi had to admit, it was great that he wanted to be involved, but sometimes he could get a little over-zealous.

"Uh, senpai... don't you wear these clothes? And isn't this the blanket from the couch?" she asked holding up the said articles.

:)

Tamaki took the blanket and just wiped his forehead briefly before placing it back down. He noticed Haruhi's uncertain look and cocked his head slightly to the side. Was she displeased?

"Well, I have plenty of others. " He said softly, staring at his feet. "And Cami never seems to like sitting on the blanket so I figured it could be replaced." Suddenly, Tamaki was not as enthusiastic as before. "I understand. Maybe we shouldn't let these go. I can just help gather more people to donate." He sighed softly, feeling stupid for bringing useless things.

"No, it's alright," Haruhi sighed, as she picked up the blanket again and involuntarily started blotting his chin, that was currently still dripping with rain, with it. She didn't quite realize what she was doing, actually, and continued talking as she did so.

"It was nice of you."

Haruhi smiled and folded up the blanket when she was done, then placed it back down on the table.

The rain hadn't done much to stymie business in the Marketplace. It simply spurred everyone to bring the proper gear. For Hotsuma that didn't entail much of a change; the cloak and straw hat he favored for civilian garb were passably all-purpose.

He was keeping his head low against the downpour when the tip of his hat brushed against tent fabric. Brown eyes shrank to earthy slits as he brought his chin up. The shinobi had been taking this route to work eversince setting up the Tengu's Nest, but he'd never seen this tent before now.

Curious and seeing the entrance was wide open, he ducked his head and stepped right in. There was a brown-haired... girl (?) sitting at a table, in front of rested a sign. Donate Now to Rivelata's Emergency Shelter.

That almost made him smile. "Good morning." he said in solemn greeting.

[reallyiamagirl]

Haruhi looked up from where she sat and noticed that there was a man in a straw hat standing in front of her. She immediately stood up and said, "Oh, good morning. Welcome."

This was her first visitor, and honestly, she was bit nervous about it. She had to admit that the man standing in front of her was just a tad bit intimidating. Nevertheless, the friendly smile that graced her face never faltered.

"Do you have any questions?"

[sustainthesword]

The hat was doffed courteously. He recognized her by face from the journals, or thought he did. "Yes. I am Hotsuma, owner of the Tengu's Nest down the road.", he said, then his eyes fell on the sign again. "I just wanted to stop by and see what you have going on here. An emergency shelter, is it?"

That was obvious of course, but this was an invitation for her to share more. There was concern and interest in this project beneath that stern countenance.

[reallyiamagirl]

"I'm Haruhi. It's nice to meet you, Hotsuma-san," she said courteously and offered her hand.

Letting out a long breath, she began to explain the situation. "It was an idea that came up because of the recent earthquakes-- just a safe place for us to go just in case of natural disaster striking. We've got a place lined up to get fixed up, so now I'm here collecting things like blankets, clothing, food, and basic medical supplies so we can stock the place when it's ready."

Hoping that was an adequate explanation, she waited for his response.
