Samuru withdrew his handkercief at Ryan's refusal, glad the other kid was in a better mood. 

"All right," he said, his spirits becoming slightly better as well. "Well, if you need any help -" He then noticed Kanna hiding behind the trash can, and was going to wave him over before Shizuka pointed him out to everyone. Speaking of Shizuka, she and Matthew looked like a fine couple...same for Mako and Sato; he had been surpised when he had seen they were an item. He wished them well.

Everyone seemed to be doing fine, especially Rui and the two other...leaders (?) of the group. Pausing to check his beach equipment, Samuru smiled as he saw that yes, he was as prepared as he was back in the old days at Nagasaki, with sunscreen, trunks, tanning lotion, and snacks. Oh, and a sketchbook and art supplies (pastels were the best) and iPod.

This was going to be a great day.

Kazuki and Megumi; Rui's friends. Samuru was tempted to ask Rui about what was up with them, but decided not to prod. Instead, he went to one of the changing areas, where he quickly changed into a red speedo; he couldn't help but like the color. Coming out at the same time as Ryan, Samuru would raise an eyebrow at the scars, but decide not to prod. Instead, in response to Ryan's question, he brought out his sketchbook, and said:

"I sketch; pastels are underrated nowadays. Actually..." a smile at that; "want me to sketch you? I'm only as good as an average art class student, but I think I can make a passable picture."
