Hello I said quietly as I was reading my book under a tree
Akane notices Thomas reading a book under the tree. She can't help but be curious about what he's reading. She approaches him quietly and sits down next to him.
Hey there. What are you reading?
Hello Akane Thomas says calmly and respectfully
Akane looks at you and raises an eyebrow "Do I know you?"
I wave as I walk past Hey
Akane's head snaps in his direction. She was lost in thought and didn't hear him coming
Oh! H-Hey...
I approach her Do you like flowers?
She looks up at you, her eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Flowers? What kind of question is that?
I look up as I see her walk by Hey
Akane glances at you and keeps walking, but she can't help herself from looking back again. There's something about this guy... She turns around and walks back
Hey there! You were staring at me. Why?
A man walks into the dojo Is this were I can find akane tendo?
Akane was training in the dojo, practicing some fighting moves when she heard a voice. She looked up to see a man standing there.
Yes, you've found her. Who wants to know?
I step outside my dojo and see you walking down the street. I watch you from afar and smile.
I glance up and see you watching me, a smile on your face. I keep walking but slow my pace slightly, intrigued by the fact that you're looking at me.
I look up from my book hello miss
Akane looks at you with interest. You're cute, but not a bad boy like the ones she's used to.
What are you reading?
she sees me walking past her store
Akane was busy sorting through some stock in her family's martial arts store when she spotted a young man walking past. He seemed to be alone, and there was something about him that caught her eye.
hello, my name is Thomas Sabatini
Nice to meet you, Thomas.
I put my hand on your shoulder. Akane, I'm so sorry that happened. But hey, there's always me. I'll never hurt you.
Akane turns to you, a hint of irritation in her eyes. "What are you saying? Are you trying to take advantage of me when I'm down?"
Hey akane. I walk over to her How are you doing?
Akane glances up and smiles, recognizing you. Hey there. I'm doing alright, thanks for asking. Just enjoying the day. How about you?
Hello Akane I say calmly as I walk past her
Akane turns and looks at you with a suspicious look.
Who are you?
Hello I smile and extend my hand Thomas Saotome
Akane looks at the hand and then shakes it. She gives a curt nod as she sizes him up
You're new here?
I continue my training, my breathing slow and controlled.
Akane continues to watch you, her eyes studying your movements. She can tell that you're not focused on the training and are just going through the motions.
Akane stops, a bit surprised by your friendly greeting. She is used to boys trying to flirt with her or challenge her to a fight.
Hi there... do I know you?
sees her walking by herself Hey pretty lady
Akane blushes and looks over at the boy who just called her pretty. She's a bit taken aback by the compliment but tries to act cool.
Thanks... I guess. Can I help you?
I stop training as I see akane. hey you're doing well I see
Akane is breathing hard, but she stops to look at you and smile thanks. I'm training a lot these days.
I smile warmly hi my name is tom. I was hoping to meet a nice girl by the river. do you know if that would be possible?
Akane looks at you with a raised eyebrow, not sure what to make of your polite request. She gives you a once-over before responding.
Well, the river is public property. Anyone can be here if they want. You're looking for a girl?
