Summer Time

[sanada_g]

Apparently being busy isn't an excuse for not updating...

So...

I've spent most of the summer doing kendo workshops or competitions around Japan... with Niou. He seemed to always know where I was going and just invited himself along. It was more strange than annoying. He seemed to enjoy the trip and even found some nice cafes for us to visit. Though I have no idea what he did during the day as he never came to the kendo tournaments despite inviting him.

I also spent a fair amount of time watching my young niece and nephew since the current pregnancy is making my sister-in-law really tired. I even took them up to our cabin in the Karuizawa area and we enjoyed a fun few days hiking, fishing, and relaxing in the onsen.


I'm now on my way to New York for a kendo workshop there and of course the US Open.




ooc: Finally off hiatus. Feel free to poke me if you want to plot with the grumpy guy. And also, please pretend this post is backdated about a week so he'll actually arrive in time for the US Open.

Now who's the one not answering texts/calls in a timely fashion?

[sanada_g]

As if I wasn't still replying to you in a timely fashion...

Except when my nephew broke my phone charger when we were at the cabin.

[gtl_yukimura]

My point, proven.

[sanada_g]

It was four days.

And most other people can wait until I have free time for a response.

[gtl_yukimura]

We both know I'm not most people.

[xyzai]

Sanada-sama is well traveled. Or is he holding down the fort?

[sanada_g]

He enjoyed some of the sights but not all of them.

[ever_yanagi]

If you'd let us know in advance I would have booked a larger suite.

[sanada_g]

I know how to book my own rooms...

[gtl_yukimura]

Surely there's enough space. Doesn't Akaya's room have two beds as well?

[ever_yanagi]

Are you trying to sabotage Akaya's chances?

[gtl_yukimura]

Of course not. How about you and Akaya switch? You share with Genichirou and Akaya can have the other twin.

[ever_yanagi]

I'm teasing, Seiichi.

[sanada_g]

I'm not that bad of a roommate!

[ever_yanagi]

As long as you don't make Akaya get up at five in the morning.

[sanada_g]

The meditation time would be good for his game. He can sometimes lose his focus just after the midway point of long matches.

[ever_yanagi]

While I do not disagree, a sudden change to his schedule at this point would do more harm than good.

[sanada_g]

I could just book my own place...

[gtl_yukimura]

I sincerely doubt you'll have much luck finding anything close to us. We have the room, so it's fine.

[sanada_g]

Fine. But I have a separate place booked for when I'm doing the kendo workshops.

[gtl_yukimura]

If you really must.

[sanada_g]

My schedule would be a distraction to your and Akaya's training.

[gtl_yukimura]

I doubt that. Laser focus. I'm going to win.

[ever_yanagi]

Oho. Please put your money where your mouth is.

[gtl_yukimura]

Believe me, I am.

[ever_yanagi]

I look forward to it, Seiichi.

[toutsweet]

So THATS where he disappeared to. Man, no notice or anything.
That sounds fun though. How old are your niblings?

[sanada_g]

You should know by now that's how he works.

Nearly 4 and 6.

[toutsweet]

Oh I know. I'll never stop being exasperated by it though.
Cute!
Do they look like you at all?

[naniwaspeed]

Traveling with Niou was probably pretty interesting, hahaha~ Did you see any particular fun things while going around? Or were you pretty busy with the tournaments?

[saypassion]

I think being busy is a perfectly good reason. It sounds like you've had a lovely time traveling. If you feel particularly up for it, I'm sure everyone would love to see pictures.

Did you succeed in the tournaments?
