Kinzo blinked, though the smile remained warm on his face. It took a moment to register that the young girl had completely botched his name, and he began to laugh heartily because of it. Though it was true that he didn't know Arisu as well as the others, he was quite surprised that he had completely phased through her. But in a way, it was quite refreshing and he admitted that this had never happened to him, until now, that is.

He was about to respond and correct her when the other two showed up. Kinzo looked up at them both and grinned, giving them a little wave, causing white flakes of powder to flurry forth from his slender frame. He rubbed his head in slight embarrassment and chuckled as Kuyu, the petite ball of energy that he is, stated Kinzo's full name for Arisu to hear. Smiling, he gave her a small bow to formally introduced himself. 

As the boy straightened up, he turned to Kuyu. "Hey now, I just thought we were good enough friends for us to just call each other by our first names," Kinzo retorted to Kuyu's comment about not adding [i]san[/i] to his name, "since I did hear you calling me just that a couple of days ago on a shift together. Would it make you happier if I called you Kunazumi-san instead?" Kinzo stuck his tongue out in a teasing manner before giving the shorter boy a friendly slap on the back. "But thanks for having me along." Kinzo smiled. He then turned to eye Megumi, the girl with shorter hair, and gave a small bow. "I hope you're doing well today, Kitabatake-san. I passed by your family's dojo the other day with my brother, and he said he wanted to join when he's older. Would you allow him the honor when the time comes?" Kinzo's eyes twinkled warmly as he talked to his friends, his lips always curled in that crooked way of his.

But then a small girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the little bundle of energy that rivaled Kuyu's own slamming right into Megumi and disappeared just as fast, but not without that cute remark. Though he could see that the young woman was flustered, Kinzo couldn't help but laugh. Not at her, of course, but at the liveliness that was taking place so early in the morning. The Holidays were his favorite time of the year, where mirth mingled synonymously with contentedness, and he enjoyed every minute of it. Kinzo glanced at her apologetically as he chuckled to let her know he was not making fun of her.

As his laughter died down, the boy spun on his heels and faced the trio. "I agree with Kitabatake. Let's go say hi to our Lilac-sama!" Kinzo grinned.
