Miko "The Horse" Esuka
Miko shook his head as he couldn't believe the words that had just exited James's mouth.
"Beauty is what you make of it. Looks are a small portion of what makes up a person." His voice was calm but held a bit of agitation as he responded to james. For a moment he was silent as he watched the white eared male enter the room completely oblivious to what had just been announced. When the question was asked of why everyone in the room was so riled up miko figured he would fill him in.
"Sensei has just announced we are all to be wed to the person sitting across from us." He focused on the male as he spoke letting his words sink in before he focused on alla and nanami both excusing themselves from the table. Listening to everyone beginning to speak up and watching their body language he couldn't help but think the response's were appropriate for such news. It seemed like james at least for the moment was rubbing a lot of people the wrong way with his comments which he also understood. The thoughts of the man probably should have been kept to himself even if it were truly how he felt. Taking a few more bites of his plate he smiled as he stood.
"Thank you for the food it was quite delicious." His voice was sincere as he spoke to the sensei before turning to the rest of the group.
"I hope to see you all soon and get to know everyone in due time." He gave another sincere smile to the group before making his exit from the room.
Heading back up to his room miko sighed to himself as he opened up the door. Looking around for a few moments he located his katana's and placed the sheathed blades on back. He couldn't tell exactly what he felt. Excitement, fear, a bit of anger, the gamut of emotions ran through his body like a river rushing through a bed of rocks. Taking a moment to collect himself he once more departed from his room as he began to wander the halls. Absorbing a bit more of the schools geography as he walked he soon found himself exiting the building. His mind and feet seemed to be acting as separate entities as his mind wandered feet took him away from the school itself. That was until he caught sight of nanami sitting against a tree. Brushing a hand through his hair he took a deep breath before heading over to her. Miko didn't want to press the issue but felt a proper introduction was appropriate. Smiling he gave her a polite bow as he approached her.
" I know neither of us asked for this but I just wanted to say hello. I am miko and I meant it when I said you are beautiful. I will leave you to your thoughts I just wanted to properly introduce myself and hopefully in time you will at least deem me to be acceptable." He took a moment to allow his eyes to catch gaze of hers before turning on his heels and walking off once more. He knew she probably needed a bit of time but at least she now knew his name. As he walked away a circle of lilies would sprout up around nanami.
"I hope to see you soon." His voice rang out as he turned his head for a brief moment to steal one last glance at nanami before he walked into the distance disappearing into the nearby trees.
It wasn't long before he reached another area which for the moment seemed to be unoccupied. Unsheathing one of his blades he held it out in front of him grasping the hilt lightly with both hands. Taking a few deep breaths he practiced a few thrusts and slashes. Each movement was quick and fluid as he allowed his emotions to be channeled into his blade taking out each feeling in a solid and smooth flurry of slashes as if he were dancing with his blade. He continued on for a while practicing parrying, defending, and attacking with various rotations of the blade and eventually unsheathed the second katana and used each simultaneously. It wasn't until his movements had brought him upon alla that he stopped his training. He had only briefly caught her in the distance out of the corner of his eye but it was enough to find him sheathing his blades once more. The sweat dripped off of his brows as he walked over to where she currently was positioned.
"Hey are you okay?" He asked as he sat on the ground a few feet from her resting his hands on the softness of the ground.
" He shouldn't have said what he did. I think he means well just sucks at expressing such things." Miko's voice was calm as he spoke not attempting to make excuses for the man but trying to comfort alla after what had just happened. He knew this wouldn't be an easy process on any of them but believed he should make some friends while he was here. an That and sometimes having someone to speak to helped in difficult situations. However for the moment he stayed silent as he sat in the grass figuring she could talk about things if she wanted or she could send him away in which he would leave her be.
