Closed Dirt and Such PV Kim Sato

Taizu smiled weakly as Kim quickly spoke. He had met the boy for the first time at the opening feast, and had been relieved to meet someone who also spoke Japanese. Through him, he had also met two other close friends that Taizu was truly thankful to know. So Taizu felt much more open towards Kim, though he always seemed to have at least a faint stutter when talking to him.

So when Kim asked him if he liked the class, he laughed nervously and said, "N-no. I hate th-this c-class. I at least get good grades in it. Straight E's, though I hate the dirt. It's... d-dirty." Laughing nervously, his mind began to whirl with unease and confusion. Internally he began to panic over every word said, his stutter, especially the attempt at a joke he had made. Faint regret seemed to be in his eyes.

Hoping that Kim would understand why, Taizu said, "English is getting too frustrating for me right now. Can we talk in Japanese for a little bit?" Immediately, Taizu seemed more relaxed than before, and his nerves seemed to lessen a little.

Taizu was definitely feeling uneasy with the other members of the class around him, as was shown through his nervous hand tapping which was a rarity for him. More often than not he'd be frozen in fear, but just having Kim as a reassuring friend nearby was enough for him to be able to at least still move.

Of course it immensely helped when Kim steered him a little closer, Taizu being to nervous to do it himself. He sighed faintly in relief and his finger stopped tapping against his leg, and he smiled up at Kim with much less nervousness than before. He felt truly glad that he had been lucky enough to meet Kim on the first day of school.

Smiling still, Taizu said up to Kim, "I do quite well in Transfiguration. I've managed to do most of the basics quite well, though I can understand how it would be tricky. I'm glad that my mind can create such a clear image for me to envision the end product. I suspect that I might be better suited to learning how to Apparate when I come to age, since that's one of the things that makes it easier is envisioning where you're trying to travel."

Taizu was finding it much easier to talk now, and was barely realizing that he hadn't made small talk with a person so easily in his life before, a fact that most of his other friends would usually pick up on. Looking ahead that the professor, he heard the instructions given and nodded as the professor took them into the greenhouse.

It was always nice talking to Kim. He never really felt awkward to talk to at all, and he was often very understanding of Taizu, which made him feel safer. The fact that they could speak in a language rarely understood on this side of the world made it even better for Taizu.

More confidently then normal, Taizu walked into Greenhouse One alongside Kim, and almost immediately regretted it. The air felt thick and heavy, and Taizu felt as if he might drown from just being in the room. Taizu's breaths became slightly shorter, and he began breathing a bit more rapidly. His eyes flickered with uneasiness, and he glanced around at all the plants in the room, eyeing them uneasily.

So when Kim spoke, Taizu didn't register what he had said immediately. He was still trying to gain control of himself. After a moment, Taizu's breaths slowed slightly, and Taizu shook his head weakly. Looking up at Kim, Taizu said, "Sorry, what did you say? I was trying to get used to the humidity in the air."

Taizu continued to fidget nervously, though mostly due to the change in the air and how wet the place made him feel. No matter how many times he came in here, the humidity made him feel like he was suffocating for a moment. He hoped that Kim wouldn't notice his faint distress at this though.
