How's this GM?

Goals
[X] Become more sociable with the Tsukino boy and do little subtle favors for him to get him to warm up to you. Inquire why he seems skittish around you after the two of you develop a rapport.
[X] Ask the Tsukino boy about the other less notable clans you heard of. Inquire about any favors he might want from you in exchange for the information.
[X] Write to Kagome, tell him how your doing and ask him about how he is doing. Ask him for any advice on meditation he'd like to share with you.

'Shrug' Don't like it.

Edit: What do ninja have to learn from him except for techniques? He's just like any other human with him hating ninjas.
Kagome was perfectly happy to talk about the practices of the monkhood. It varied depending on the temple, if they weren't wandering monks, but they ranged from community guides who did their best for the places they lived, to monks of the shrines who sought to reach enlightenment and to bring peace to the world. Some temples fed the poor, some acted to appease the spirits and bring prosperity to the areas, and some kept voracious oni confined. All in all they sought awareness and to make the world a better place. He told you a little about how they meditated but you could tell he didn't expect you to grasp it.

Mindfulness Meditation added to research paths.

Its important for the battle art that comes from it. We should get it started soon. Since he didn't tell us much last time we talked to him about it, I figure asking for more info will help us get started or clear things up. I'm also hoping it helps with chakra control.
 
So wiki told me this:
A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral; Whether to spin the chakra left or right is dependent on the way the user's hair grows.

It was also listed under chakra control so this might help us build up chakra and work on our control.

I'm not trying to annoy people who are done with the monk path. I just can't ignore the opportunity to start researching our own personal taijutsu by squeezing more info out of kagome. I mean the other clan kids are already better than us in Taijutsu, so I figure we need to use every the letter to give ourselves a boost.

Nice info by the way. Maybe we can find out IC in the library?

The taijutsu idea is an interesting one, but your original post mentions nothing of the sort and really does sound like you pushing the monk line again. How about we write to him mostly to stay in touch, but also ask for any advice he has? That seems to be the most in character option.

We have word of god that the meditation leads to a battle art. Just thought I'd pick back up again. The rest of the stuff was just to butter him up if needed.

I'm fine with changing as long as he gives up the info though.

Update 13: Social Faux-pas
Your attempts to get closer to the Tsukino kid haven't gone all that well. He can tell you're paying attention to him and he makes any excuse he can to avoid your attempts to rope him into a conversation. He's gone back from being sort of distantly uncomfortable with you to being actively freaked out again.

Writing a letter to Kagome is simple at least. There's not a postal service exactly, but you're able to pass off the letter to a courier who promises to drop it with someone who'll see it get passed on to get to the village. You sent it near the beginning of the month, though you're not sure how long it'll take to get there exactly, but you haven't received a reply as of yet at least.

The Academy training follows on much the same as last month, you'd kind of expected there to be matching up for taijutsu matches but they've just been focused on getting the stances drilled into everyone, and making the movements feel natural.

I think it is time we begin experimenting with actual techniques. Our control and lighting affinity should be enough to pull of some basic stuff. Perhaps something along the lines of shocking grasp to start of with? Further refining of our body flicker technique is of course welcome. I see our build being focused on using our speed to avoid harm, while nuking our opponents with lighting based attacks.

No sneaky free technique development :p
You absolutely need to spend time to develop your own techniques.
