Happy New Year, according to the calendar in use in Exsilium. May the next year bring glad tidings.

To anyone interested in learning basic self defense, I've spoken with Police Commissioner Sorenstam and will be starting classes through the station for any willing to attend. It's open to everyone, which means rubbing elbows with the exiles who live here, and provided cost free.

Classes will be running Mondays and Wednesdays at 0800, 1000, and 1600, starting the 21st.

Named after the flower, I see. It's quite beautiful.

I'll refer to you as Sakura since it's more polite that way.

( Sakura has to laugh about that to herself -- it was really the opposite to her, a presumptive friendliness without a reason for it in the first place. But she's long been used to this, surrounded by people who rarely used last names among strangers. )

It's an appropriate enough name, for color if nothing else. Either way, please do call me Sakura.
