Akemi River

Mori twitches his ears to the hug and slowly nods.
"Hai."
He refrains from apoplogizing at the end and stays quiet.

Shinjou let go of Mori and smiled down at him, "Mori....if you have to apologize then I guess I don't really care."

Mori rubs his forehead.
"It's a bad habit I picked up. I don't mean to, really. It's like a slip of the tongue. Even I get annoyed of it after a while."

Shinjou smiled at Mori, "Then, if that's it, I'll let you be and won't get annoyed, since you yourself already do."
(I'm gonna go for the night again. See you tomorrow.)

Mori blinks and smiles, amused by this and nods.
"Thanks...most people can't stand it..."
(Good night)

Shinjou chuckled lightly, "I'm generally a very calm person, Mori-san. I don't let silly things bother me."

Mori waves his tail curiously.
"Lots of calm people..."
He rubs the back of his head, thinking about all the calm and usually quiet people he has been meeting lately.

Shinjou tilted his head at what Mori said, "Hm? Really? I'm only calm because it kind of requires it for training."

Mori look turns to confusion.
"Training?"

Shinjou nodded, "Yeah, when I was little my parents kept me in a room and had servants spoil me with whatever I wanted, so when the servant rescued me from the fire I was kinda fat....so I had to train hard to get like this, then when I lost my arm I had to train again so I could use my left hand. I still train now so I don't lose my touch."

Mori tapped his lower lip thoughtfully.
"So your training is sort of like exercising?"

Shinjou nodded, "Yeah, it is, and if I wasn't calm enough to do it I'd still be that fat boy I was then."

Mori chuckled a bit and tilted his head.
"What kind of training do you do every day?"

(be right back)

Shinjou smiled at Mori, "Oh, it's not usually every day, but sometimes I go for a run, lift some weights, hit stuff."

A question mark beams over Mori's head.
"Hit stuff?"

Shinjou nodded at Mori's question, "Yeah, like punch a punching bag."

Mori sits down by the river and sticks his hand back in the water, playing with the cold river.
"Like a boxer?"

Shinjou chuckled but nodded, "Yeah, like a boxer."

Mori smiles and nods.
"Cool."
He lets his hand swing around making ripples in the water before looking up to Shinjou curiously and splashing the man for fun.

Shinjou blinked as he now found himself wet and he raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms and looked at Mori before saying in a teasingly scolding voice, "Mori-san....." He gently tackled him sideways on the river bank.

Mori chuckled nervously hearing the tone of his voice and got up quickly and dodged Shinjou, stepping into the river letting the water come up to his knees.
"Nyah, missed."

Shinjou blinked as he found himself on the ground and sat up, crossing his arms over his chest, "If you and I didn't both have our phones right now I'd tackle you right into the water."

Mori takes out his phone, his ipod and a headphone set and tosses them over to his messenger bag. He takes off his shoes and socks and leaves them at the dry edge of the river then continues to splash around childishly.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones~ but words will never hurt me~."

Shinjou chuckled before doing the same, even removing the headphones from around his neck before running into the water after Mori.

Mori hears the splashing from Shinjou and turned around, kicking water at the other person.
"Take that!"

Shinjou ran right through the water and tackled Mori in, laughing, "No way am I just gonna stand around and take that from you!"
