Samuru nodded at Ryan's refusal to be sketched, saying, "All right; I'll find something else to do." And with that, he observed as Shizuka looked spectacular, Mako and Sato went off to get shaved ice, and Kanna be more at ease. Oh, and Ryan offer to help Matt up. This group really was an anime-style Nakama, and he felt himself growing closer to them. Maybe he had jumped the gun when he had assumed they all disliked him. Drawing closer to Kanna, the young man would say:

"Greetings. Kanna, right? My name is Samuru Amakusa; I wasn't there for when the others 'recruited' you. How are you and how are you holding up?" Samuru then, on impulse, began sketching the clear blue sea, as well as the sky above. He then smiled as he began to work his pastels. "It's so nice to see the others happy."

A mischevious smile on his face, before the young man whispered, "Say, want to go see what Rui is doing? He [i]is[/i] our leader, after all, and he saved us. But, and no offense, he looks like a generic nice guy, with any hidden depths concealed very well. It'll be fun; we can discover his interests, how he interacts with others, and perhaps even give him a surprise gift once we see what he'd want. [i]Or[/i] we can just ask him upfront; that works too. So, what do you say?"

Samuru planned to do it anyway; Kanna or no Kanna. But it would be more useful to have a friend beside him than not, right?
