. DO THINGS FOR YOURSELVES .

Good. In that case, I’ll take your word for it. [ That’s all he needs really, from both him and Miyuki. He trusts them both -- Miyuki, more so -- enough to be smart enough from here. ]

I’m not saying that I don’t condone what you’re doing. It’s not my business so that’s not my place. So I’ll obviously stay out of it so long as it doesn’t interfere with your level of play. In that case, I’ll need to step in.

I want to make sure you’re aware of what kind of position you’re putting yourself in.

[ He watches Furuya’s face -- which is useless: it’s as blank as it always is. ] I want to speak with you about your relationship with Miyuki.

[ He raises an eyebrow at the start of Furuya’s protest, impressed when the boy listens instead of carrying on. ] Here -- [ He hands him a bottle. ] You can stay here. I’d like to speak with you about something, anyway.

Furuya -- take a break. You don’t have the stamina to continue.

“Has Ochiai spoken with you, Kawakami? ... If so, what was said?”

                  “How are your studies going, Tanba?”

“Your brother used to practice this late as well. It’s good to see that dedication runs in the Kominato blood.”

kitty PLEASE tell kat this, like she refuses to acknowledge it for the masterpiece that it is

Don’t rush it. You’re in a good place. Miyuki’s shown me the menu he laid out for you. Stick to it and you’ll have caught up in no time at all. Overwork yourself like you’ve been doing the last week or so and you’ll only come away with an injury.

Good. How long do you expect to go? Are you trying to run for days like Sawamura? You don’t have the stamina yet -- you need to pace yourself.

You’re overworking yourself, Furuya. It’s late -- how long have you been running now?

                  “You’ve guessed correctly.” He lets that hang in the air for a moment,                   blinking once or twice, but otherwise watching his captain closely. He’s                   had plenty of relationships within the team pop up during his reign as coach                   -- Jun and Tetsu, two of his first years -- Toujo and Kanemaru, and he’d heard                   Kuramochi finally pulled his head out of his ass with Ryousuke. That was simply                   this year alone. However, the relationship between Furuya and Miyuki brought                   on more of a problem. “Do you think it to be a wise decision, then?”
