[Buzen has always been the most confident person Itsuki has known, but the authoritative tone in his voice is new. Does it excite him? ....Maybe! But that's something he's going to unpack later!!!

He has something more important to occupy his attention now, as they move through the night and head through -- another tear? Now they're somewhere entirely different... His hand is in Buzen's, but for a moment his attention is caught entirely by Samidare. Huh... He's heard of the Gous from Buzen, but it's one thing to hear of them and another to see them with his own eyes. His eyes take in that familiar green, and then the ears on either side of his head, and that shade of purple in his hair that feels familiar -- it reminds him of Chroma (he really is a heliotrope) and of Nanami.

Itsuki doesn't exactly think of himself as shy, but he is a little nervous. He can't help it -- this is it. The first of Buzen's treasured comrades that he's fortunate enough to meet. He wants to leave a good impression... He's probably overthinking this......... and then he hears the wan, and forgets to be]

Samidare... Like in that poem -- may rain and the Mogami river. [he'd quote the whole poem by basho but sometimes u just want nerd to nerd communication] Buzen mentioned that some of you have nature-related names.

[he pauses, ah]

Sorry, I'm Kagami Itsuki. It's nice to finally meet you, Ame-san.
