Rey thinks for a moment as her lewdness radar starts beeping. A shrug later, she responds. "I don't see why not. Go ahead, Akodo kun." Pffff... 'We are not a couple and a 100 more tales' by Akodo Seijuro.

Seijuro bows in thanks one more time to Rey, oblivious of course to any of her inner monologues concerning he and Ryouko. Still dressed in his kendo clothing, the Akodo finds a wall to sit up against. He glances in the Utaku's direction for a few moments, wondering to himself if she was still cognizant of her surroundings. Until she says something to him, the Lion removes his copy of Leadership and finds a few passages to meditate on.

The Lion would have plenty of time to think and meditate, as Ryouko stayed still for close to an hour. Finally, her breathing's pattern changed, and she groaned softly. Her eyes flickered open, her vision slightly blurry. It took her a few seconds to be able to focus. The Unicorn took in her surroundings, slowly remembering what had happen. She noticed the young man's form from the corner of her eyes. "What time is it?" She asked softly, her voice sounding a bit rough. She cleared her throat, closing her eyes again. Her head hurt...

The Measure of Wind: An army began with its general, the true and virtuous, who would lead from the light, quickly, because he never needed to look back.
Seijuro's eyes hovered over the dog eared, brown paged copy of Akodo's wisdom. He slowly closes it and places it once more with his things, glancing towards the clock. "5:15," he replies as he stands, a sealed bottle of water in his hand. "You've been asleep for an hour, perhaps a little longer. Can you move your arm? I have some water for you."
He unseals the cap on the bottle and extends it to her to take, if she could. "Sounds like you could use a drink."

Ryouko relaxed slightly. She wasn't late yet for diner at Tarik's place. Her eyes cracked open and she smiled at the Lion, accepting the bottle with a "Thank you." She groaned sligthly as she pushed herself up, backing in the bed to a sitting position and absently rubbing her side. After drinking almost half the bottle in one go, she looked back at the young man.
"I fear we might have gotten off on the wrong foot. Would you allow me to try again?"

Seijuro offered the girl a friendly smile and a nod, folding his arms across his chest.
"Sure, I can allow that. As long as you let me try to make a better impression as well."

Ryouko smiled back, nodding. "That seems like a rather fair trade." She said, twisting slightly despite her bruised side to offer her hand in the more traditional Unicorn greeting.
"This one is Utaku Ryouko-san. It is an honor to meet you."

Oddly, Seijuro does not shy away - it seems like he may have done this before, interestingly enough. The Akodo grasps her forearm as she takes his.
"Akodo Seijuro. I assure you, the honor is mine Utaku-san." A pause as they shake, and then he takes his hand back. "I assure you, this did not happen because of yesterday. I was already consumed by my anger before I set foot in the dojo. It was a failure on my part."

"Well, I suppose I take small comfort in the fact that I was not the source of your frustration..." She leaned back with a sigh. "Please, feel free to call me Ryouko-san." She smirked, cracking an eye open to glance at him. "I do believe I recall you already doing so, after all."
Ryouko shook her head slightly. "Honestly, I think we both entered the dojo in a frame of mind that hardly suited it. I also have been filled with rage since yesterday." She paused. "I actually feel much better now."

"Ryouko-san then... please, call me Seijuro. If we're going to be on even terms," the Akodo smiled back.
"It can be difficult to remember that we are only human, given the families we come from. Much is expected of us, and sometimes, it all bottles up until you cannot hold it in any longer."
