Ryouko groaned at the mention of Daisuke getting out of his pen, covering her face with once hand. "I knew I forgot something..." She muttered.
At his offer, she shook her head slightly, offering an apologetic smile. "I believe my friend has planned for us and a few more to leave town tomorrow evening and until later Sunday. I was still half asleep when there was mention of it, but I'm pretty sure he said he would be flying us to my homeland for the weekend. Would Monday suit you, instead?" Satisfied her hair was as clean as she could make it without an actual shower, she looked around for somewhere to leave the bloodied towel.

"Don't worry about it, a kouhai and I got him back in his pen," Seijuro replied, ignorant to the fact that Daisuke and Mizuki had foiled the attempt to keep them penned up.
"Ah, yeah that's fine. To be honest, Monday is going to be pretty hectic with Club Day and all so getting a good ride in before hand will be a big stress reliever."

"Club day?" She stared at him, confusion apparent. "What does that mean? Will there be a special schedule? Do we need to bring anything?" There was an edge of panic and anger to her tone. Why hadn't her mother said anything about that! Ryouko's eye twitched slightly.
"Oh I bet she's laughing so much right now..." She muttered darkly under her breath. "She probably put her own e-mail down for all school correspondence and isn't forwarding it to me on purpose to see how I deal with it." The Unicorn stood, probably much too abruptly for her own good, blood rushing to her face. She staggered, catching herself on the from of the infirmary bed.

"Oy, calm down Ryouko-san," Seijuro asked her in a concerned tone, grabbing a chair and sitting down next to the bed.
"It's no big deal. We get outta class, you get to go around and visit stalls and all that. See which clubs look like a fun time that you might wanna join."

Ryouko groaned in annoyance, hand massaging her temple. She blinked a few times, before looking down at Seijuro. Right, clubs. "Have you been attending this school for some time?" She asked him, deciding against sitting back for now. The Lion seemed to know his way around the school.

"Yeah, I have. I'm a third year. Last year I did Kendo, Iaido, and Horsemanship Clubs. I've gotta scale back to two this year, and I took up the mantle of the Student Council for the Lion so that means dropping two. I'll probably keep Kendo around."
He looks over at Ryouko, propping his elbow up on his knee and resting his chin in his hand. "And you? Which clubs are do you think sound fun?"

She sighed, seeming a tad annoyed. "Well, I have no idea which are offered. From the ones I *have* heard mentioned, I believe Kendo and horsemanship would be the ones I favor. Anything else feels like a waste of time and energy, if I'm perfectly honest. I already feel like I am wasting my time..." She slowly walked over to the window, frowning slightly.
"I know this school's reputation, but..." Her fingers curled into fists, expression darkening as she watched a few students run by, carefree. "It feels wrong." She said softly.

"if it's not too prying to ask, what has you feeling at odds?" Seijuro asked from his seat.

Ryouko leaned against the frame of the window, frowning. "This whole place... it's dangerous." She whispered, barely loud enough for the lion to hear. "It makes you feel safe. It makes you forget..." her voice trailled. She wore a haunted expression, eyes unfocussed as she stared at the horizon.

"Well, if there is danger, at least I know you are the type who can take care of herself."
Seijuro follows her gaze out the window from his seat across the room. "Even so, Akodo-kami warns against complacency. While you rest, your enemy practices. But sometimes, we can be our own worst enemies. A general who made his enemy doubt what he fights for had already won. Have fun, enjoy your school life, and be prepared all at once. This is not an impossible task to accomplish. Erase your doubts through pure certainty. Do this, and you can never lose."
A pause. "No matter your past, or what you have forgotten... do this and then victory is certain."
