Open!
Who: Kazuma Ikezawa, Schwartz the cat, anyone who wants to join him!
When: Monday afternoon
Where: A park somewhere in Sector 4
Summary: The weather isn't great, but it's good enough for a little Kenpo practice in the park
Warnings: None right now, will edit if necessary
The rains for the morning had subsided just as the school day ended, leaving the sky cloudy but the air just warm enough to be bearable. Kazuma had been itching to get back in to practicing outside, and with his girlfriend at work for the latter part of the afternoon, he decided this was as good of time as any to run through a few sets in the park near where they lived.
After a quick trip home to change, he headed back with Domon's cat, Schwartz following along either by way of sidewalks or balancing on fences behind him. Where his own cat Kana actually seemed more than content to be inside all the time, Schwartz actually enjoyed being outdoors and was surprisingly dog-like in his ability to follow either of his new owners around and never get too far away. It worked out well, considering how often the darkness could easily take a domestic animal.
Once Kazuma had found a suitable spot to practice, he set his bag down and watched as Schwartz went to find a tree to curl up under. Putting himself in to a stance, the lanky teen stretched for several minutes. After that he started moving expertly through the moves, hands and feet striking out at an invisible opponent, completely focused on his task.
Obviously this would be the best time to bother him, wouldn't it?

'Sup, bro.
Right. There he was. Doing katas, apparently. Hitsugaya knew better than to disturb that. So he waited a few moments, leaning causually against the tree under which the cat lay, just watching the motions. Sure, there were holes in the technique, but overall, it wasn't bad. Hakuda wasn't precisely Hitsugaya's strongest point either.
When there was a pause in the practice, he deigned to speak up. "Hey."
yo!
He turned, smiling faintly at seeing his friend.
"Hitsugaya-san... hey."
( forwarded to after she gets off work )
Luckily, she didn't have to go too terribly far. She found the both of them rather quickly ... and then found that she didn't want to interrupt his training. She found a place nearby to watch him with a smile, and ... well. Watched.
Like a creeper, obviously.no subject

Kazuma could have gotten away without using any honourific, really. Not with his given name, but just the plain old surname? He would have been comfortable with that. But he also doesn't see the need to correct this. The next time his name slipped out without an honourific, he just wouldn't say anything about it. That should serve as indication enough.
"Don't think I've ever seen you do that before."
no subject
"Was I too loud?" She asked in the usual soft tone, taking a few steps toward him, but not getting too close. She didn't want to get in the way if he was going to continue.
no subject
"Really?" he said, canting his head to the side a bit, "I guess I don't practice as much as I used to..."
no subject
"Sorry, I should have left a note."
no subject
He just shrugged. "Perhaps. Or maybe I just haven't run into you any of the times that you have."
no subject
"I got a little worried," she admitted. She knew full well Kazuma could take care of himself if he needed to, but that didn't keep her from worrying anyway. He had died once. She didn't want to risk a repeat of that.
"Kana-chan was no help," she pouted. "She was curled up on the bed, purring away as though nothing were different."
no subject
"I don't practice outside much anyway. The weather here is bad more often than not. It wasn't even raining that long ago."
no subject
"I'm sorry I worried you. I just wanted to get some practice in before the sirens now that the rain has stopped."
no subject
"A-Ah, well ... a-all right, I forgive you."
no subject
And he didn't personally find the weather that bad. But he might have been a little biased. He liked chill. He liked rain. Just quirks of his, really. Liking things that seemed to make most others feel uncomfortable. It was a fair trade for hating what others celebrated so much. Like summer.
"What style is that?" If they had ever discussed this before, he didn't remember it.
no subject
"How was work?"
no subject
"It was all right. I was able to get some of my homework done during the downtime, so there isn't much left to do."
Maybe they could cuddle together or something after that was done.
"How was your day?"
no subject
"Shaolin Kenpo," he answered, rubbing the towel at his hair. "... haven't I mentioned that before?"
no subject

Nadeko hadn't had any idea on what to do for dinner, actually. She hadn't really had the time to think about it that day. Truth be told, she was a little tired ... she'd gotten used to being a student and an employee, and had found a routine that was good for her, but that didn't stop her from being tired a little more preemptively than she usually would have been.
She wasn't going to complain about that, though. She kind of enjoyed being able to do things for Kazuma and their other roommates.
no subject
"... Possibly. I've just . . ." His brow furrowed. Just had a memory issue lately? He hated admitting that. Especially outside the privacy of his house, even if it was to a friend. So he'd go with something else. "Just been a bit busy lately, I suppose."
Hell, that sounded contrived even to him. Not that it was a lie, really.
no subject
"... are you sure that's it?"
no subject
"I know exactly what it is." More or less. He had it pretty much figured, except for a few salient points. More trying to steer things away. "Besides, looking after her tends to require all my focus as it is."
no subject
Kazuma knew she was tired. She did well to hide it, but they were both gone most of the day and he really didn't expect her to do more than she already did.
"You don't have to cook. I wouldn't mind sandwiches or something quick. We can pick it up on the way home."
no subject
"Okay," she agreed with a smile. "That sounds great."
no subject
"Right..." he nodded, figuring it would be better to drop it. "Sorry."
no subject
He wasn't the one who'd messed with his head, after all. He'd like to have a word with whoever it had been, though. Just a word. Really. No violence at all.
"Doesn't mean you have to keep your distance. I know she wouldn't mind meeting you."
Hinamori liked to meet everyone. It was part of what made watching over her such a time-consuming endeavour. At least he already knew that this was a safe person for her to interact with.
sorry for the delay. x.x School is dragging my tagging speed down
Of course she'd probably been settled weeks ago. Kazuma had just been busy, or spending time with Nadeko and had honestly fallen off the network and out of being sociable for a time.
"I could come over next weekend and meet her, if you want."
no subject
"Come on, I think there's a place on the way back."
Totally okay.
"I'm sure she'd like that."
Not a word about what he wants himself. It was all about Hinamori. Just like usual.
<3
Wow, I actually got the notification on time.
She was so easy to please, it was almost pitiful at times. Not that he would change that. There was something wrong with the world when Hinamori wasn't happy. It was the natural order of things.
But he did give it a little more thought. "... She likes food gifts. Peaches are her favourite."
If Kazuma knew what Hinamori's given name was, the correlation would either be brilliant or stupidly coincidental.
\o/
He knew, actually. And he had wondered, but not having met her yet didn't give him much opportunity to ask. Learning that did make him smirk a bit, though.
"Makes things easy, though."
no subject
"... Did I ever say anything to you that I told you not to mention around her in the event that she showed up?"
The only thing of that nature he remembered saying was how his power had leaked out of him as a child and had been hurting Granny. But how could he be sure right now if he'd ever said more than that? And maybe he'd never said not to bring that one up, either. Damn memory issue.
no subject
Nadeko moved back to Kazuma's side, smiling at him while petting Schwartz.
"Which place?"
no subject
"Why?"
no subject
"She's from over a year earlier than I am. There are certain things she doesn't know yet that she shouldn't hear from anybody but me."
He lowered his eyes for just a few seconds. He still didn't know how he was going to bring that up, or when would be the best time to tell her. No matter how or when he told her, it was going to hurt her. Badly.
Right. Back to talking. "I doubt I've gone into any of it with you. Nevermind."
no subject
Kazuma smirked at them, shaking his head a little. Such an odd cat.
"That little sandwich shop that we pass by on the way home from school."
no subject
no subject
"What do you think, Schwartz-kun? Do you want a sandwich?"
Schwartz didn't seem to care either way. His ears twitched, indicating that he'd heard her, but he didn't move otherwise. Nadeko lifted his paw up, waving it a little at Kazuma and giggling as the cat looked up at her curiously.
"I think he's in for sandwiches!"
no subject
"He's not even allowed to have human food, and since when have you seen a cat eat an entire sandwich?" he asked, reaching out to scratch behind Schwartz's ears. He seemed far more interested in that then the discussion about sandwiches.
