After an onslaught of new and different experiences from the moment he'd awoken, Tamori Yoshi took great comfort in the ability to finally fall into something of a routine at the end of a long school day. Thus, he made his way after class to the Temples on campus grounds, just as he had the day before at this hour. He once again kneels in prayer at Fukurokujin's shrine, this time in thanks for all the knowledge that had been bestowed upon him in the hours previous, even if he had often felt like it was too much for his mind and nerves to handle.

The silence of the prayers within the temple would be gently disturbed by the quiet rattle of the wooden doors as they slid open. The pale fingers that curled carefully along the frame belong to Kakita Tsuki, who's own day had likely just ended. She gingerly stepped into the room and her body turned to shut the door with the same care she had taken in opening it. With a hushed clack the woman turned and set her eyes upon the only other occupant of the room. The same young man she had met from the day before.
Her eyes slightly widened at recognizing Tamori Yoshi, her motions paused as she pondered possibilities only she might think. Yet regardless of what it ultimately meant, it didn't stop her from striding over to Fukurokujin and kneeling before it. In silence she pulled a small stick of incense from a thin, blue case and set it within the burner. Once it was lit and the incense's scent flowed out, she took to a spot near Yoshi, hands folded together with her beads, and began to pray.

Yoshi didn't look up from his prayers when someone else entered the temple, thinking it rude to both the person and to the Fortune with whom he was in communion. However, when that person knelt next to him, he couldn't resist stealing a glance in their direction. To the young man's credit, he mostly keeps his composure when he sees the same Crane from the day before, except for a sharp intake of breath and a quick smile that he replaces hastily with solemn reverence. As soon as his prayers are concluded, however, it returns, though he waits there in silence for Tsuki's to also conclude.
"I promise to bring enough incense for both of us tomorrow, Kakita-san," he softly speaks, chuckling nervously at the unusual ease with which the words came out.

Her own prayers came to an end and the meditation with it. The incense still burned as her hands slowly collapsed from their well held form and laid upon one another. Those blue eyes of her fell from the great fortune to the Dragon beside her, whom was so gently said he would take up the task of incense for tomorrow. She smiled at him in that warm and kind manner she had they day before, but now instead of just being her usual friendly way it was because of the man's consideration to her.
"You don't have to do that, Tamori-san. I don't mind sharing what I have. It is very kind of you though," she replied in almost as soft a tone.

"Just because someone doesn't mind something happening, doesn't mean it should continue," Yoshi observes, recalling an old Kitsuki lesson of not turning a blind eye to injustice, even in the face of apathy from ones peers and superiors. It seemed he might be recalling something more personal as well, but his face doesn't reveal more as he's quick to frown about a different matter, chastising himself for apparent thoughtlessness.
"Not that I don't appreciate your generosity!" he quickly adds, before bringing his voice down lower as he remembers his surroundings. "I do... very much." He means this not only in regard to the incense but also for her time and attention.

Tsuki's head tilted ever so slightly to the side as she smiled once more at the Tamori. Her fingers slowly unwound the beads that had been wrapped about them, all the while listening to the Dragon's simple, wise, and ever so sincere words. She had seen his expression brought about by them and as he seemed to try and cover some possible oversight, her own thoughts pondered if this second meeting was for a reason.
"You are kind to say that. I earnestly don't mind sharing it though, so don't feel as if you owe me some favor," She answered in kind, "But I do look forward to seeing what you will bring."

Seeing as she had free time and not much else to do, Sakura makes her way into the temple area, carrying a broom and starting to, well. Do what one does with a broom. It is funny how that works out. She hums absently, cleaning away the mess before her.

"You are kind to say that. I earnestly don't mind sharing it though, so don't feel as if you owe me some favor," She answered in kind, "But I do look forward to seeing what you will bring." he mentally notes, both excited and daunted by the task at once. But wait... that also meant... she was agreeing to be here again tomorrow! With him! He tries to tell himself that it's just a coincidence, and she simply is establishing a routine like himself. Then again, that made for something they had in common, which was a good start to... what? He had no idea, but he was certain that he'd like it if he did. "Oh no, I don't feel like I owe you," Yoshi clarifies hurriedly, trying to calm his ascending heart rate with a logical explanation. "I just... want to show you the kindness you've shown me. Like... Courtesy." There he went, putting Bushido Class to work to try to get a little distance from the emotions he was feeling starting to overwhelm him. Seeing as she had free time and not much else to do, Sakura makes her way into the temple area, carrying a broom and starting to, well. Do what one does with a broom. It is funny how that works out. She hums absently, cleaning away the mess before her. So rapt is Yoshi's attention with Tsuki that he barely registers the sound of sweeping, assuming it to be some manner of campus monk who tends to such things. |

"To treat others as one desires to be treated. That is very kind of you to do." Tsuki said in gentle tone, her fingers tucking away the prayer beads. Her form shift and just slightly does she turn her body to better face Yoshi. She looked to him and wondered if seem to always trail off like that, or if it was just in her presence that the young man seemed to falter. Her eyes glanced down, almost as if troubled by the latter prospect.
"Do you not often shop for incense?" She inquired to the man, not seeing if he had brought anything but himself to the temple. Her attention was solely give to Yoshi, unaware of Sakura beyond the new sound being made.

"Oh, I don't desire... anything," he clarifies, though his body is trying to tell him differently in a variety of ways, especially as he realizes that Tsuki has angled herself slightly toward him. It takes him a moment to stop thinking about that and concentrate on her question. "No... I don't shop for incense often. I buy it and bring it when I can, but... I don't have anything fancy to keep it in, like you do. So, I don't get much at once."
