Sleep, Kobushi found, eluded him.
The day had been exhausting, of course. So many things happened in so short a span of time. It was almost as if someone was trying to build up the stress and drama in his life. And failing, given how relaxed he felt. He had energy to spare, but not a whole lot of cause to be concerned. Sure, there was that issue with the Otomo, but it seemed like the group had a sound plan. Well, Hinata had a sound plan, but that was more or less the same thing. She was, in his view, the core of the group, even if the Tamori boy had been the 'start' of it with that table.
Walking away from the dorms, hands in the pockets of his jacket, he found his feet taking him to the woods on campus grounds. For some reason, he felt as if something large, reptilian, and predatory would come out at him if he lingered long enough. He brushed the feeling aside, took in the evening air, and walked around what he assumed were well-worn paths.
Who knows who or what he might find.

Well, nothing large and reptilian came out to attack him. He did, however, hear a creaking from one of the branches above him. Rodrigo sat upon it, and once he noticed the boy below him he waved.
"Hey, Daidoji-san! Fancy seeing you here."

Up.
Kobushi had not been expecting that. He smiled at the greeting, offering a bow. Then he decides a wave was more suitable.
"Hello, Azerora-san!" he calls out. "Enjoying the woods like I am?"

"Yes! They're quite something, we don't have woods like this in Merenae."
He grinned and patted the branch he was sitting on with a hand.
"So I figured I'd try climbing one of the trees. Pretty fun!"

"Really?" Kobushi asks as he starts looking for a way up. "Different kind of trees over there, I imagine?"

Rodrigo nodded.
"Yeah, it's mostly hills and valleys with the occasional small forest. Nothing like this."
He looked down, suddenly looking embarrassed.
"...unfortunately that also means I have no idea how to get down."

"That sounds nice, actually. And a little like what I hear the Unicorn provinces are like," he says as he makes his way up. He looks around, taking in the view.
And then Rodrigo makes his observation. "Well, when we climb down, I could go first. Catch you if you slip or something."

Rodrigo raised an eyebrow at that and chuckled.
"Sure. Just don't fuck up or we could both get injured, yes?"
Rodrigo looked around again, taking in the view.
"This really is a beautiful country you people have, though. Shame it's so closed off."

"Well, I think it's changing. Slowly," he says, also enjoying the view. "I mean, nothing stays the same forever. Just that some things move forward differently or look different. Like the katana. Once upon a time, it didn't exist. Now it's the standard."

Rodrigo nodded in agreement.
"I'm hoping to help with that. If I get a daisho maybe I can open up trade with my family's business back in Merenae."
He took a deep breath of the evening air and grinned.
"Maybe then more people can see this gorgeous country."
He patted Kobushi on the shoulder.
"Not nearly as beautiful as the man next to me though."
