[So after running into Izumo and getting properly dressed, Rin sets out to complete his sweep for Kurikara in the item shop before heading back "home" to House 15. Possibly with Izumo he goes back there but maybe not. Either way, he ends up going there in the relatively early morning. Run into him en route, while he's looking for Kurikara, or when he's there.]

[Voice]

...Ossu. It's me, Rin Okumura. I got sent back. [And I've been informed my brother went home.

I'm apart from Yukio. I know I upset a lot of you. He bites his lip and then shakes his head. No, he's not saying any of that]

Pity it's too cold, h-huh? I wanted to go swimming in this pool, now it's kinda too cold for it...

[...Haha...]

[Video-y]

[So Ryoji Announcing in the other day reminded him. So he's on a video now! He's shirtless. His tail is behind him, and he's blushing. He is flustered and stuff! So he comes on the video and... bows to the video]

I'm sorry! During that pageant a while back! I uh, caused a problem for a lot of people [by burning their clothes off] and so I'm sorry for that! [He gets up, bows again, and then gets up again. ...Before itching his muscular abs, feeling awkward. Where should he- oh right!] And uh... Congrats, Fenimore! I already congratulated Shiemi, but you got straight up third place! That's awesome!

...Oh right, and I'm sorry I signed you up if you didn't enjoy that, Cloche.

[...Ehehe. He grins, sheepishly before he goes to pick up the journal and have it look over the pool behind house 15] I'm finally done repairing this pool! So if you want you can come swim at it! Behind House 15, that is.

[He means the people he's apologizing to. but this is an open entry so be brings it back up to his face now]

And uh, that's it.

( the context )

Come on, you got- [the scythe deflects his last blow, though it does not slice the wooden sword in half just yet, mercifully] whoa- [Rin then flips back, doing a standing backflip back, causing his tail to fly back a bit and when he lands, some more blue flames sprout up into being on his shoulders as he smirks and lunges a strike which actually manages to connect with the old Scyther's shoulder] There!

[ Yes, the fight raced through the forest and finally made it into town, or well, the edges of town. On one end there is Tracey's Scyther who despite being old and more than a little tired by now, is refusing to admit defeat to this actually amazingly strong "human" in front of him. On the other side is Rin, who now has his shoulders and parts of his upper arms tinged with sparks of blue fire and a wooden sword in his hand. His clothing is ripped in place, and he has a few splotches of blood on him, though no obvious wounds (thanks healing factor!). He also has his tail exposed for once. It's waving behind him, because his shirt ripped in just the right spot to expose it mid-fight and he's not been in a position to put it back away.

Despite the fact that they're fighting, those who knows to sense the mood of combat ought to sense that the two are not doing this out of hatred or anything. In fact, both seem to be very excited and have quickly developed an odd sense of admiration for the other's ability. The only minor exception to this is the fact that Rin is still rearing to go while scyther is obviously tiring out (so Rin might have his sword just sliced in half soon enough). So, well. Feel free to run into this scene]
