Being runner-up in Brisbane wasn't exactly the start to the season I had planned, but I can't complain. Australia is still stupidly hot and I feel like I've gone through more sunscreen than tennis balls. And now I feel like Renji is doing scheming about a sunscreen company sponsorship.

Mika and my mom had to head home after Brisbane since my sister starts up school again soon, but mom already agreed that she'd figure out a way to get Mika out of classes so they can come to Paris. I told her that I could talk to the administration. Would they really say no to a former student who won more than a couple of National tennis titles and is also a professional tennis player? I doubt it.

Australia has been great for art. I've done a number of sketches and gotten plenty of use out of my travel watercolor kit. I sent one of the sketchbooks back with my mom so she could drop it off at university for me.

I think you still played well. You don't want to push too hard at the start of the season.

And I could probably free enough time to watch you in Paris again.

[gtl_yukimura]

And I think you're biased. I promise I won't push too hard.

Good! Let me know for sure soon. I want to book the same hotel. :)

[sanada_g]

I'm not biased. I just know good tennis. And I trust Renji to keep track of your training.

That ridiculously fancy hotel with the beautiful balcony?

[gtl_yukimura]

With an iron fist.

Glad you remember.

it's only so hot 'cause you're there ;*

they better not or they might get a wee little visit from their favorite little trickster <3

[gtl_yukimura]

I bet you say that to all the hot tennis players.

Don't worry, Niou. I can handle the Rikkai administration.

[penipu]

name someone hotter than you srsly

but buchou :'(

There's gotta be a joke out there for something about what sunscreen and tennis balls have in common, but I just can't to come up with anything.

I'm pretty sure Kura could ask the administration at Shiten anything and they'd agree, so I don't see why not. Pitch it as an individual study or something?

[gtl_yukimura]

I'm at a loss too. Let me know if you come up with something.

My plan wasn't to be that generous. More like a demand.

[naniwaspeed]

What happens when sunscreen crosses- nope, still nothing.

Taking charge. I like it~ ♥

Congratulations on runner-up. That is a great start to the season. Do you have one of those handheld fans that spritz you with a light spray of water? That could help.

You are undoubtedly one of Rikkai's greatest treasures. I would think that they would excuse your sister's absence. Perhaps in exchange you could visit their current tennis team.

[gtl_yukimura]

That's an excellent idea. I'll have to see if they're sold here.

You're full of good ideas, Tachibana. I'll pitch visiting the team and see where that gets me.

[saypassion]

If not, I can pick one up the next time I'm out, and keep it for you until you're home.

I'm here to help. That sounds great. You could have a reunion since all of you are still in touch.

It just feels like yesterday that you were running around in New yorks heat. Go to love hemisphere trickery. :b

I'm sure they'll yes, more like they really should as I assume that they use you quite a bit for prestige sake. It's the least they could do~♥

[gtl_yukimura]

The difference is humidity. Otherwise, exactly the same.

You have no idea. Sometimes I think they forget Niou's famous too.

always in your shadow, seii-chan :'(
