Hayate, can I snag you to work on my kenjutsu?

-@wolfdemonofkonoha

You’ll have to get in line behind @konohanohanare — maybe we can have a group class?

I wonder what Yugao @celestialrhythm will think of my sparring with all these pretty girls…

Do you like poetry, Gekko-san?

-🎶

“I do,” Hayate smiles. “I’m not very good at writing it, but I like it, especially when it’s set to music. Do you write your own songs?” he asks Hanare. “And please call me Hayate.”

You look like you haven't slept in days, Gekko-san... Are you alright?

Hayate didn’t realize that his eyes had closed and he was close to toppling over where he stood. Hanare’s voice startled him into straightening up. He coughed for a few moments before answering her.

“Er…not really,” he admitted. “I haven’t slept much in the past few days. My cough keeps me up. I’ve been taking medicine and using my inhaler and even a nebulizer, plus some herbs a friend gave me. But I still keep coughing. I’m all right, though,” he contradicted himself. “I can handle it. I’m not that sick. I’ve got duties to perform.”
