What: Hiking, Meeting (Major Arcana Only), Setting up Tents, Cooking, MYSTERY FOOD X, King's Game, Sleepn (Possible bear-wrestling)
Where: IN A WOOD
When: Late May
Why: We like camping.

Aomori-sensei was waiting outside the hotel when everyone was awake, tapping a foot impatiently and looking at his watch. Ishino-sensei seemed somewhat nervous. He'd snapped at her when she'd tried to speak to him. He was always a lot more patient with the students and she'd hoped that finally going on this trip would improve his mood. She shook her head and smiled. It was her fault her colleague had to deal with all the reporters and so she had no right to complain when he was in a mood like this.

Tent arrangements:

Boys
3: Reizo/Toru/Akiyama
3: Kanaye/Yuuto/Kou
4: Gendou/Keiichi/Shin

Girls
3: Toshimi/Maeko/Shiori
3: Kojima/Renju/Mitsuko
4: Kiriko/Emi/Masami
4: Noriko/Misaki/Tori/Kozue

	Tom turned toward Masami and let out a breath. "I didn't know you were there when Satou got hurt. He kind of brought it on himself I'm afraid. When you just chase after every girl without looking where you're running, bound to trip face first into a tree." He shrugged, and looked at her curiously. "So... you're the Captain of the Kendo club?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm not the captain of the kendo team. They wanted to make me captain but I turned it down. Most of the team, even the actual captain and the coach, treat me like I am the captain anyway," Masami answered, taking a break to sip some more tea. She then stopped. Something Tom had said drew her attention away from the small talk.

Masami wasn't sure she bought Tom's(and Maeko's) explanation about the incident with Kanaye earlier. After all, she had seen kendo injuries that were far less severe, and kendoka were deliberately attacking each other with bamboo swords. To be fair, shinai were meant to try to reduce damage to others, but still...

Maybe she was overthinking it, but she had to ask. "Do you mind if I ask a question? What really happened to Satou-senpai?"

Tom put on his best confused face.

"I'm sorry Sakuraba-san, I don't understand the question. Satou-san was running in the woods fill tilt through the woods. He wanted to talk to one of the girls... I don't know who, but that's Satou for you.
He tripped and fell against a tree, and scratched his face, that's... what really happened."

He reached up his hand and scratched his head.

Tom seemed quite confused by Masami's question; if he was acting, he was doing a very good job of it. Masami decided to let the issue drop, figuring that she probably was just thinking too much anyway.

"My apologies if I was asking after nothing, senpai," Masami said, "Anyway, you said you weren't supposed to be here because of your family? I was wondering, you don't look fully Japanese. What's your other half?"

She took another quick sip of her tea. "Ah! I just remembered, thanks for your help with the tent earlier. Ikeda-san kind of dumped the job on me...""

	"My Mother is from America." Tom said, almost dismissively. He eyed her assessing her capabilities. Tom had heard a great deal about her skill and was almost curious to test it. "Ikeda can... be like that. Despite what Ito said it's easy for her to for her to take charge." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Masami got the sense that Tom didn't really like talking about himself, so she decided not to press further. "I don't dislike Ikeda-san, but I got the impression that she's pretty blunt..." Masami said before taking another sip of her tea. To her dismay, she was running pretty low, but at least she was getting a generally quiet and relaxing time to drink it.

"Ito-san seems like a nice guy, but he sounded kind of annoyed earlier. Did he have a bad day? ...Oh, sorry if I'm asking too many questions. I don't really know too many people outside of the kendo team..."

	"She is." He crossed his arms, raised his eyes as he thought, then shrugged. "Ito has been like that all the times I've seen him, I think he gets rattled easily. I don't mind too many questions. So I have heard a great deal about your skills as a swordswoman." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I guess I'm OK at it," Masami said demurely. Anyone who knew her reputation would be able to tell that she was just being humble; someone didn't have an undefeated record just by being 'OK.' She stopped to think for a moment(and, of course, to drink more of her rapidly-dwindling supply of tea). "Why? Do you do kendo or something too, senpai?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom cocked his head to the side and shrugged. "I guess or something would be an accurate way to describe it." As usual, Tom avoided giving away too many details about himself, but he was beginning to get a feel for this girl. "Just Okay then? That hardly sounds like the way you would describe an undefeated warrior." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Masami noticed that Tom wasn't exactly very forthcoming with information about herself, but she figured it wasn't anything major. She finished the last of her tea before she spoke again. "My teammates like to say I'm a genius or something, but I don't really..." she trailed off, not sure exactly what Tom was trying to get at. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom examined Masami carefully. The girl was either trying very hard to be humble, or trying to hide information about herself. He crossed his arms behind his back. "So you left your tent, I know where you're coming from, where are you headed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I wasn't really planning on going anywhere in particular. I just wanted to drink my tea in a quiet place with a relaxing mood. I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out, though now I wish I had brought more tea." Masami smiled. "So what about you senpai? Were you going anywhere?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Back to my parents car I'm afraid. I'm not on the trip so... no tent of my own." Tom shrugged. And started to take a step forward, he paused for a moment. The Kendo champion would likely be able to handle herself. But if his suspicions were right. "Uh... if you're headed back to your tent can I... umm walk you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Any other girl would have probably placed Tom's offer as a romantic one, but Masami's reply gave no hint that she even considered that a possible motive. "I can make it back on my own and I think it would be easier for one person to avoid the teachers than for two, so you really don't have to," Masami replied with the same smile still on her face.

	Tom looked around, keeping an idea of where the patroling teachers were. "I'm fairly good at keeping myself and friends out of sight. And friends if need be and I think I might be going that way as it were." (Reply to this) (Parent)
