First Fight ;text ;locked from hostiles ;action for the Jinnouchi house/friends

[readyforwar]

Shinohara Natsuki and Koiso Kenji have been sent home.

[action]


[Kazuma has skipped class today to pack up Kenji and Natsuki's room at the Jinnouchi house. He can be found there with a scarf covering his hair, in shorts and a teeshirt, putting things in boxes and being quieter than usual. The only sound seems to be coming from his laptop which is playing music while he works.]

[ninjacephalopod]

I'm going out for a jog, I thought you might like to join me.

[Though the tone is that this is not entirely a suggestion]

[readyforwar]

[He starts to say something, and 'but--' nearly comes out. He decides against it, though, and stands wearily while pulling off the scarf around his head.]

Okay...

[ninjacephalopod]

[Mansuke leads him outside and through some warm up stretches.]

I understand your desire to stay inside, but it's unhealthy to go such long periods of time without sunlight. They say that the Salerymen of the world are more prone to health problems then a blue collar boy.

[readyforwar]

I know that...

[Kazuma stretches with him, voice barely above a grumble]

I'm not gonna stay inside all the time ojii-san... I just wanna get Natsu-chan's stuff put away so nothing happens to it...

[ninjacephalopod]

But when was the last time you came outside?

[And now the legs, and we're ready to go]

[readyforwar]

[jogging after him, rolling his eyes a bit]

Uh, Friday? When I went to school? Like I do every day? I only took today off to clean up. Why is everyone acting like I'm going to become a hermit all of a sudden?

[ninjacephalopod]

[A smirk keeping a steady but demanding pace]

Do you really have to ask?

[readyforwar]

[Kazuma just huffs, keeping pace with his grandfather.]

I'm fine.

[ninjacephalopod]

That's good. Because we're gonna take the route with extra hills to get home.

[Boisterous laugh]

[readyforwar]

[groaaaan]

Master! Do we have to?

[ninjacephalopod]

Of course we do! Come on now. Double time. The sooner we get you home the sooner you can finish your work.

[readyforwar]

Ugh. Fine.

[going to hate this entire jog]
