Day Seven - Early Morning
Who: Shannon Rutherford & Shizuka Domeki
What: Early morning practice
When: Asscrack of dawn
Where: Initially the museum, then the carnival probably
Rating: PG- something or other (but probably no more than 13)
Status: Complete





The snow already beginning to press against the door of the thrift shop made it a bit difficult to leave and the snow already beginning to accumulate on the streets and walks of the town made the trek to the museum something slow and labored. Domeki, figuring that it would take him a while to make the hike across town, had chosen to leave before it had even begun to get light outside and it proved to be a wise choice - aside from the fact that he found himself already chilled nearly to the bone by the time he paused before the large door leading into the museum.

Domeki flexed the bare and numb fingers of his hands as he debated whether or not to knock. He knew that knocking was, essentially, the only way he could let Shannon know that he had arrived but there was an equal chance that he might awaken one of the gentlemen currently staying with her - and then he might have to explain what he wanted with his big sister at this hour and also why he was currently carrying a bow.

After a moment of silent debate, he finally raised his hand and rapped his numb knuckles against the wood of the door. He could only hope that, should Shannon not be the one to answer, whoever did liked early morning knock knock jokes.

"Then I guess I'll just have to hang on your every word so I can catch what comes naturally," Domeki joked lightly. It wasn't his intention to put Shannon on the spot about her language and he really was just as likely to let the subject slip away. After all, learning he nuances of another language always seemed to come more naturally when the teacher wasn't pressed or too aware of what she should or should not be saying - and he certainly didn't want Shannon to feel as if this were some job or other burden. "It does make me glad, though, that there is something about this place that offers translations - I can't imagine how we'd manage otherwise."

"The same could be said for you. You probably know more about me than most of my classmates." This thought didn't really bother Domeki, even if it could be taken as something sad. On reflection, he would admit that it was a touch odd that he'd become closer to someone who was a foreigner to just about everything in his life than he had with the majority of the children his own age - but it seemed almost natural to be walking with her like this, even if there was nothing all that natural about their current situation. He allowed a contented smile to touch his features as he moved his arm to wrap around her shoulders - well, as best as he could manage given their difference in height. "It sounds like you were pretty lucky to be in LA if it meant no weather like this."

"Hm, does that mean we'll have to call off the lessons if you break a nail?" He teased her with light good humor. Truth be told, he wasn't all that worried about Shannon not being able to learn - he was rather more worried that she would have reason to learn whatever she might pick up. Not that he waned her to be helpless and not that he was deluded enough to think that they were entirely safe - more, the overprotective part of himself dreaded the thought of anything happening to his big sister. "I hate to think what would happen if you got calluses or cuts from the bowstring, then."

"That might be a good idea," he nodded slightly to her idea of looking in the pharmacy for something to fix the broken arrow but he figured that they should be alright with just the two for now - as long as they were careful not to let anything happen to them. "I'll check in there later, once the weather calms down a bit."
