A flicker of irritation crossed his face and his eyes narrowed slightly.<span style="font-style: italic">A stick in the mud?</span>Not something he'd been called before... to his face. Granted he heard it a lot behind his back, for a long time now, but he preferred to ignore the sentiment or pretend it was directed at someone else. Perhaps he was a bit touchy on the subject.<br/><br/>Honestly though, the statement wasn't entirely untrue. He'd been the student to memorize the entire hand book by the second day of class, the one with perfect grades and attendance. The one to report mishaps to the teachers and follow and enforce every rule the academy had even now that he'd graduated. Whenever there was a group mission during his time in the academy, he was the one to smack the others into focusing on the task at hand. The reason? He didn't like people who didn't follow the rules. He found comfort in organization and professionalism and couldn't stand it when people goofed off. A stick in the mud? Most likely, though he would never admit it.<br/><br/>Pushing that topic aside, Ijemaru thought Senshi was being awfully dramatic about whatever was under those bandages. He would guess burns or scars or something, maybe tattoos. The elite didn't see anything to get worked up over really. If it was scars or something like that, the boy would have more even by the time he graduated the academy. It was rare to come out without a single injure. Even he'd had his share, though somehow he managed to get away without any lasting marks.<br/><br/>"Rest can wait a brief moment," Ijemaru said firmly. "Across the streets, there are several large buildings. These are dorms for students who are from far away to use, or really anyone who wants one. You're welcome to get some rest there, but we'll need to take you to the main office briefly to register you. Think of it like a hotel. You have to check in to get your key so you can use your room."<br/><br/>"Unfortunately, you'll have missed orientation by the time you're rested. You can still get all of that information from the hand book though, which you'll receive during your first class." In all honesty, Ijemaru could present the entire orientation to Senshi by heart, but he was avoiding being called a "stick in the mud" again.
