Later that night...
After the party at Otomo Mako's house, Kakita Isao walked home - or rather, back to campus. Isao knew home was far away, but where a person laid their head down at night could be a home. It was likely a good coping mechanism for dealing with being homesick he reasoned. He didn't drive (yet) and he actually liked walking. Lazy people drove everywhere and it was good for the legs to walk regularly. He ran after all to stay active. A healthy swordsman was a good swordsman after all! Isao walked back, idily looking at his smartphone as he walked under street lamps, crossed quiet crosswalks, and casually made his way along the sidewalks. The Crane looked a little tired (it had been a long day!) and was looking forward to getting back to his dorm room and going to bed.

*A figure moved out of the ally way into the main sidewalk. The figure wore a pair of wet, white swim leggings, a mask across their eyes and a towel over their shoulder.
His physique showed that of one who at the very least trained their body to some degree, having hints of muscle to his body.
His eyes Focus slowly drift into the figure he was now walking a few feet behind him.

Isao was oblivious to anyone walking behind him. His eyes were glued to his smartphone as he scrolled through one of his social networking pages. He only stopped at a crosswalk when he looked up at the red glare, noting the crosswalk was not open - cars whirled by so Isao stood there a moment, looking around. It was only then that he noted he wasn't alone. He blinked and sidestepped, looking back to the boy. "Oh. Hey. I didn't see you there." Or hear you there. Was he there the whole time? Isao smiled and put a hand in his pocket, tucking his phone away. He gave him a once over as they stood awkwardly at the crosswalk, waiting for the light.

The figure nodded his head. "I apologize, If I startled you it wasn't my intention."
From the look of his mask it was plain to see the individual was of the scorpion clan.

"Are... You a student at Rokugan High School?"
It was a stab in the dark. Literally, as far as puns and the situation warranted went. He looked about he right age after all. He couldn't help but wonder where he had came from. The Crane heard the crosswalk begin to beep and when he looked, it was blinking green. "Come on, before we get hit by a car," he offered, continuing across the street to the opposing sidewalk. He continued on his way home and looked at Yoshikatsu. Why was he wearing swim pants?

"Why yes I am." He quickly crossed the street to the other side, a bright smile bore across his face.
"What about you?"

"I'm a first year," Isao said, smiling. "Hi! I'm Kakita Isao, it's nice to meet you. Who might you be?"

Bowing his head quickly he would reply. "2nd year Courtier, Bayushi Yoshikatsu. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Well, seems we're walking back the same way then," he beamed. "It's nice to meet you, Bayushi-san. Courtier, huh? I studied at the Kakita Academy before coming here, the KDA in fact. So, I'm a Bushi myself."

"Might I make a suggestion to you first year?" He spoke softly and with an air of not superiority but, a sort of knowing way.
