Rodrigo nodded back.
"Rodrigo Azerola. Pleasure to meet you, Shinjo...san?"
He frowned, looking apologetic.
"Sorry, I am still getting used to the honorifics."

"Oh wow!"
The words slip from her mouth before she realizes it. Smiling sheepishly she quickly adds a bow.
"You are really good, Kakita-sempai! I hope I was not an embarrassment. I feel I could have done better..."
The last bit was said with a little frown.

The black clad woman walks solemnly into the dojo, iato in hand, and her face hidden by long white hair, making her look half a ghost
"I did not know that the room was in use. I shall try not to disturb."
She practices her kata alone for now, after bowing to the others, traditional Crane Kata, executed with skill and precision, though not flawless

"You did very well, Doji-san. I thoroughly enjoyed myself," he encouraged her with a smile. "I am rather passionate about my swordsmanship. I certainly enjoy testing myself against a worthy opponent, which you certain are already." The young Crane smiled and bowed bowed to her, somewhat lower than before, before he took a step back.
"Should it please you, we can do this again another day."
Isao turned and acknowledged the Shinjo - he had seen him before. "Have we formally met, Shinjo-san? I'm Kakita Isao, First Year."
Then another Crane entered the dojo whom he bowed to as well, still smiling. "Ohayo!"

She brings her kata to a close to bow to the young man
"Hello there. I am not sure that we have met. Surely I would recognize such a charming young member of my own family" Her voice is soft, like red silks and purple velvet, her manner reserved but charming "This one has the honour to be Kakita Uetani. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with"
Though her words are pretty, and more than a little flowery, there is a sense of melancholy to her tone and bearing, beautiful yes, but in the way a sad song on the biwa was beautiful

Isao adjusted his glasses and smiled, fighting back a blush.
"You are too kind, Kakita-san. I am Kakita Isao, First Year. It's an honor to make your acquaintance," he offered politely before he bowed. "Allow me to introduce you to Doji Reiha, my training partner this morning."

"Another beauty. Surely Benten shines on today no?" she bows to the woman, a soft sad smile on her black painted lips

Takezou wave a hand dismissively. "Think nothing of it, san is good." He says to Rodrigo Azerola "Where are you from if you dont mind me asking?" He turns to Kakita Isao "No I don't believe we have Kakita-san. I am Shinjo Takezou, also a first year. You have given us a nice show so early in the morning." |

Rodrigo grinned, a cocky and roguish expression, though not unfriendly.
"I am from Merenae. My parents sent me here because they want me to get an overseas experience. They want me to take their business international."
He looked at the people practicing.
"I must say, though, it is rather different here so far. Duels in Merenae are...quite different, for starters."

"It was just practice, nothing spectacular," Isao confessed with a nervous smile at Takezou's compliment. "Doji-san is an excellent partner and a good partner brings out the best in you."
With a look to the gaijin he declined his head.
"How are they different? Are they not fought with swords and regarded as honorable affairs?"
