"...Hey, what's up? W-well, actually, stupid question since you can't respond, haa..." Toshiro patted his hands on his lap, trying to think of what to say. "I'll... just talk about what I've been doing then, since Senketsu can't talk and you're still... asleep."

Time had passed since Hol Horse's intervention. Toshiro had spent the past month training almost non-stop with Sanageyama, refining his art. What daytime he had left was spent either with Hol Horse, who tutored him on all things to do with stands and stand combat, or with the other Elites, who he surprisingly got on quite well with.

Well, apart from Jakuzure. He didn't hate her, mind, it was just that they never got on well. Although it became quite apparent the more he hung out with the Elites, that, apart from Lady Satsuki and some of her club members, her snarky personality applied to everyone equally.

With Sanageyama he had developed a kind of camaraderie from their 'rivalry' to see who's the better swordsman. This later developed into being 'pals', due to sharing many views on fighting, the situation as it was developing, and Jakuzure.

With Inumuta, he first interacted with to get advice on how he could improve (and being the data-obsessed person that he is obviously had a million-and-one suggestions ranging from movesets to simple posture), but eventually it evolved into Inumuta advising him on how to beat Sanageyama (all to rub it in the kendo-master's face, of course).

Finally, with Gamagori, he became the closest to. In spite of the giant's exaggerated definition of 'proper' punishment, his dedication to maintaining the wellbeing and safety of Honnouji students and staff (excluding 'proper' punishments, of course) was respectable. Plus, it was pretty obvious to Toshiro the giant had at least some feelings for Mako under that disciplinary persona of his.

"...And then, you won't believe this, I got approached by Iori Shiro himself! The tailor behind all of Honnouji's Goku Uniforms! And he sketched one up for me! Basically Honnouji public enemy No.2! Aaaahh..." Toshiro relished in the little 'victory' for a moment. "...Well, I didn't end up taking the offer. Of a Goku Uniform, I mean. He's still gonna make it, just with normal materials instead. Apparently Life Fiber clothes itch for stand users... which I guess makes sense, somewhat..."

Toshiro turned his head to regard the other occupant of the room, Kamui Senketsu.

"And I guess the reason you don't itch is because you're part-Ryuko... right?'

Senketsu 'nodded'.

"Anyway, until I've got that new stuff, I've thrown together some 'clothes' out of what remained of my old stuff, bandages and some nudist gear."
