Fuyuko turns and gives a small bow of her head. "Matsu-san then. Konbon-wa...did you likewise come to practice." the tiny teacher says.

Akiko bites her bottom lip, looking away from her fellow Lion and the Crane sensei. In truth she had come to the dojo just to find some peace in quiet. It seemed like today had been meeting after meeting, pushing her social anxiety to it's limit.
Sensing the hesitation of his companion, Arasou steps into the dojo with a loud and obvious yawn. He winds his way towards Seijuro and lightly head bumps his fellow clansman.

"Doji-sensei, this is a friend of mine, Matsu Akiko-san." Seijuro motioned for her to feel free to enter if she was comfortable enough.
Arasou apparently was though. Seijuro knelt down slightly and rubbed the panther under his chin. "Good evening to you as well... Arasou," the Akodo greeted a bit awkwardly.

Fuyuko takes a small step back as the panther enters. She and animals never really got along. Most of them could smell the death on her, the touch of Gaki-do. Still she does her best to be polite and bows her head. "A pleasure.I am Doji Fuyuko. Iaido and Law instructor."

Still not looking at either of the people in the dojo, Akiko made her way inwards. The anxiety she knew would crop up after her confrontation at the stables was biting at her heels now. Still, Seijuro was someone she knew and the Doji was a sensei. It would be best not to snub either.
"H-Hello Akodo-san, Doji-sensei." A pause, the girl picking at the hem of her shirt. "I c-came to see the facilities..."
That wasn't technically a lie.
Arasou continues to nuzzle against Seijuro, the panther putting a hand sized paw on the boy's knee so he could lean up and lick his face. The animal had no idea why he was awkward, but he was determined to assure his fellow Lion that he shouldn't be!

Kisses that were never there, a reassuring hand on his head... Mom...
"Good to see you too, buddy. You're feeling friendly, eh?" Seijuro laughed, scratching the panther behind the ears after the barrage of licks.
"If you ever want instruction, Doji-senseI offers good lessons. Severe but good."

Akiko rubs the back of her head, lifting her eyes from the floor just long enough to glance at Seijuro and Fuyuko. "I...d-don't use a sword." Her voice is small and meek. Nothing resembling the gusto and confidence that had been there when she defended Arasou back at the stables.
The panther in question was busy getting as much attention from the Akodo as possible. As the ear scratches continued he lowerd his head and nuzzled his face into Seijuro's stomach, purring loudly as he does. "Erm...if he's b-bothering you Akodo-san I c-cant tell him to stop..."

Fuyuko nods. "That can be remedied if you want, but if not I understand. After all he seems more then capable of protecting you." she says looking at the large animal. "If you change your mind I am more then willing though."

"Nah, he's fine," Seijuro replies evenly with a small smile, giving the panther a few more pets before he stands up completely.
"So, having trouble finding a nice quiet spot to relax Matsu-san? Is the library closed? I thought that was your favorite spot, after all." The Akodo gives a glance, wondering if the sensei had any suggestions on what was ultimately a busy day.

As Fuyuko addresses her, the timid woman puffs up a bit. Not in an angry way but rather...with an air of confidence. "I can protect him too. I'm pretty good with a spear." Then just as quickly as it came that aura was gone. Looking back to Seijuro she gave a shallow nod. "...Everywhere has people here. Everywhere
The Lion sighed as she looked down at the polished floor of the dojo. "It's nothing like my old school out in the country..."
