The fox in her arm pointed to the sensei. Kiki reacted looking at the man. There was a bit of a stare at the man as she placed the fox on her shoulder. She pointed to her ears and shook her finger then to her mouth and shook her finger. She picked her fox again and placed it right on his face then back to her chest.

This... was going to be a challenge. Especially if she couldn't read his lips, and especially outside in the rain. The Utaku pulled out his phone then presented it to Kiki so she could type away on it, meanwhile he looked to the rest of the class, noting, "Why don't you and Mizuki go next, Utaku-san. And then I want each of you to continue introducing yourselves one by one." (OOC: Yes, there is a point to this! So get to it!!!  ) |

Utaku Hitomi swallows nervously. She doesn't like all the attention on her. "Oh ummm I'm Utaku Hitomi. This is my best friend Mizuki." She gently pats Mizuki on the side. "Me and her have been together since she was born... There really isn't much else to say about me."

Seijuro was the next in line it seemed. He ran a hand through his pony's black mane, and bowed to the others.
"For those who don't know me yet, I apologize. My name is Akodo Seijuro, son of..." the young man holds the bow, as if to hide the look on his face for a moment, before rising. ".... yeah. Anyways, that isn't what sensei asked. This is Bunsho, my pony, my friend, and my companion. To be honest, I'm not sure I'm very interesting so I'm not sure what you'd want to know. I'm pretty typical fro someone of my family."

Genji looked at Kiki while the class continued to introduce itself. He typed something out on his phone the handed it to her.

Genji would note a message on his phone.
Write on the phone to the sensei.
She followed the sensei's and Koko's advise.

Sesshu watches with confusion that becomes... well, the compassion he's known for as he begins to understand the situation. So that's what's going on. He doesn't know sign language or anything, but he decides right then that he's going to track down a whiteboard and pen for the girl as soon as classes are over. And maybe a book on sign language, too.

Genji read Kikiri's message off to the other students, and would continue to translate for her for the remainder of the class. His eyes then fall to each of the rest of the class while they continue their introductions.
"I imagine each of you are probably wondering why we're doing this at this point, hai?"
The stable master grinned before glimpsing at Ryouko. "I was reminded of something the day before classes started and it's something I'm going to start including in my first lesson of the year from now on." He turns back to the entire class while stable hands put up tents so that everyone can stay out of the rain - human and animal alike. "This," he pats his own horse on the muzzle, "Is Arashi. He's been my companion since just before I came to teach here. And these two fellows are Freki and Geri, half-wolf Kai Ken sent by the Moto family for training."
He looks over each student and animal in turn, gaze even as he continues to explain the lesson. "Some of you will only spend your life with your current companion and their progeny. Others will be asked to serve your clan training not just your companion, but the companions of others." Genji knelt down and began to scritch their ears gently, the canines offering a grin that only they can in enjoyment. "In order to properly execute your duties you will need to know the animal inside and out, because just like people they have their own personalities. You'll also need to understand the person wanting you to train them, whether you're training your own steed or a warcat for the Matsu daimyo herself. Some of you will also go on to serve in forces that incorporate different animals together. Warcats and horses. Wardogs and falcons. You get the idea. Knowing how to train those animals so they are comfortable around each other and don't fall back onto their baser instincts will save the lives of your fellow samurai and the animals themselves."

Sesshu nods, having already straightened to standing, his reverie broken by Genji's words. "Hai, sensei. I am Matsu Sesshu, and this is my warcat, Chichi. I am also raising her cub, Sensen, who will hopefully serve along my side in the future." His fingers play almost absent-mindedly in the lioness's hair, and she yawns within her muzzle. He pulls his hand back, though, to bow to the class, straightening for Kiki's benefit before speaking. "I hope we all have an excellent and educational year together."
