A happy belated White Day to everyone. While not a White Day present, I did recently receive a beautiful sakura bonsai. The blooms have only just started so I expect to enjoy them for quite some time soon. Thank you Atobe to the the generous person who gave me this. It's a gift that is greatly appreciated and will be well looked after.

Is anyone else in the area interested in bonsai as a hobby?



Atobe, I will be away on Monday and Tuesday. I have some promotional work in the Himeji area that I'm obligated to attend. I trust that you and our coach will be able to handle practice without me for those days.


ooc: Strike is deleted out of kindness since he thinks that Atobe may want it to be kept a secret as he didn't leave a card. But Tezuka says it's obvious who the bonsai and the other two trees are from.

What a lovely bonsai. I wonder whom it came from.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

It must be from someone amazingly shy.

Wouldn't you agree?


ooc: Yes. He is using Niou's words from a previous post to tease Atobe.

[ahonoyume]

You have a very adorable secret admirer.

I certainly agree. The gift wasn't even for me, but I feel my heart swelling with affection for them.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

I'm not sure I find secret admirers as adorable as you.


It was a very thoughtful gift. I will have to buy some tools to tend to it properly. I would feel most distraught if it did not thrive in my care.

[ahonoyume]

Oh my, Tezuka-kun. At this rate, you'll make me blush.

Perhaps we can stop by the mall on our ride. You must protect the sweet innocence of your gift giver.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

I thought you would be more challenging to make blush.


That would be helpful. But only if you don't mind. It may not be overly interesting for you.

[ahonoyume]

I'm sorry to disappoint. However, you should know that my face almost never flushes.

Nonsense. Time with you is always interesting.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

I see... that's good to know.


Please don't say I didn't warn you.

[ahonoyume]

Just to make sure that you still have something to strive for.

I feel thoroughly prepared.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

I could bring you on a nice mountain trek with me in summer... I'm sure you'd be quite flushed then.



We shall see.

[ahonoyume]

More like white as a ghost.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

It's good that you're so good at applying sunblock.

[ahonoyume]

I tan very quickly. That would be all the blood rushing from my face.

[suisaigaka]

It's beautiful. I don't do bonsai as a hobby, but I definitely appreciate it. Take plenty of pictures since sakura don't last as long as other flowers.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

Their fleeting nature is what makes sakura so special.

[suisaigaka]

That's very true. Let me know if you need any flower advice.

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

Thank you.

Would you like to come over and see my bonsai? I believe it looks healthy at the moment but I'd welcome a second opinion.

[suisaigaka]

I would love to!

(ooc: magic words, tez. magic words)

[tezuka_kunimitsu]

Would tomorrow after our tennis practices finish work?



ooc: hahaha what an odd pick up line. "want to come back to mine and check out my bonsai~~?"

[suisaigaka]

That sounds lovely. I'll bring tea.

(ooc: you had him at sakura)
