[Zanka lets out a deep sigh while he plucks out grass from the ground he was laying on.
He had been there for some time. He was suppsed to be studying. He had seven exams next week. But he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't even bring himself to go get lunch after how one of the cooks talked to him while he was trying to help obaachan in the kitchen.
He kept muttering to himself,things that didn't have anything to do with what made him sad in the first place,but just needed a little outlet,such as Zanka scratching the whole of his legs excessively when the grass pricked him,just an excuse to feel the grounding sting of nail against skin.
Maybe the courtyard wasn't such a bad idea. With all the trainees studying, no one would be in the woods at this hour.]
