Tomako paused and looked up from where he was reading. He blinked and was suprised to see a taller boy with a hat standing before him. He'd seen that hat out the window of his classes several times, mostly in the presence of one Shirai Reizo, though he wasn't dumb enough to comment on that fact. Still the boy had startled him enough to take a small step back and look slightly embaressed by what he had been up to.
"Oh...um...Arai-sempai," Tomako bowed some. "Pardon, I was just studying some from this book I got on boxing. Did I disturb you?"
