"you don't have to be so shy around me" he said with a half-laugh "well at least you talk to me, the girls back home just used to point and squee"

"It's fine" he assured her as his now-free hands turned back to his work "you have soft hands, sign of a kind person"

He looked down to thier joined hands, then up at her, the thought 'her eyes are pretty' fleeted through his mind "ano..." he wanted to ask for his hands back, but didn't want to be seen as impolite.

Sasoru looked curiously at her back, was she trying to tell him something? "ano..i'm glad to have met you too Ebony-chan, oops, I mean Ebony, sorry I keep forgetting western names don't have honourifics"

"Ah" he said to show her understood, ' oh, she must've been expecting some kind of negative reaction to the fact her name means death.. ' "you shouldn't be ashamed to have such a powerful meaning to your name" he offored "did you expect me to find it..."he paused to thi...

((OOC-i'm not sure if this is the real meaning os Sasoru/Satoru, cos google isnt the most reliable thing in the world, but I tried ^^; )) "It means 'to know' literally, my Mother wanted me to be intelligent, and my last name's Kamui, it means "one with the power of God" He explained t...

"My name is Sasoru" he replied, relevied that he'd remembered to give his first name and not his family one.

He paused in his writing and looked at her "what was your name?" he searched his recent memory "Ebony right?" at the girls nod he turned to a new page and wrote her name in Katakana,a rather pretty arrnagement of lines ending in a single curved line rather like the ~ sign on a ke...

He glanced up at her in surprise, she seemed actually interested in talking to her, he decided to at least try and be nice "i'm writing some notes in katakana, it's umm..how we Japanese write western words in our symbols"

"that's ok" He replied, eyes once again on the book, he started scribbling down some notes in Kana for himself, to anyone unable to read kana it would look just like he was randomly drawing a bunch of lines on a piece of paper.

He returned his attention to the book, and spoke a little slower to make sure in his tiredness he didn't mess up an 'L' "next time you ask something of me I promise I'll reply".

He looked up at her, his blue eyes meeting her violet ones ' It looks like she won't leave ma alone until I answer her somehow, hm... ', mentally he shrugged and went for the easy option "my apologies if I seemed rude, I did not want to appear to be listening in on your conversation with the ot...

"the classroom" He replied before turning in that direction, not checking to see if the girl was behind him he walked towards the unlocked classroom and entered. He sat at a desk and placed the katakana-covered textbook in front of him, still feeling a little awkward about leaving his shoe...

Sasoru didn't show any signs he was even uncomfortable as the grip on his arm intensified "I am going to find somewhere to study, you can come with me if you are detirmined to talk to me" he said, not letting his calm and collected attitude slip for a moment.

He blinked for a few seconds as his eyes focussed on her, his fake blue eyes glared icily at her "let go of my arm purease" He said, cursing himself as his accent made him slip up on the last word.
