Tendo dojo?  This makes more sense, to me, but I'm not completely sure.

Tendo

home wouldn't be capitalized, after all, so I'm not sure that Tendo dojo

would

be, unless it was the actual name of the place.  I don't think there's a

sign

there that says 'Tendo Dojo', though.  More likely any such sign would say
something along the lines of the type of martial arts taught at the place.

Yes there is.  It's written in Kanji on a plaque on the front gate.  Tendo
Dojo is the formal name for the location that Tendo-ryu Musabetsu kakuto is
taught at.... what else would it be called?  Taikukan?

Eh?  Sounds strange, but if it's advertised like a business as 'Tendo Dojo',
then I guess...  Thought maybe it would be advertised as 'Tendo School of...'
etc.  'Tendo Dojo' just sounds so abrupt, uninformative for what is taught
within.  No mention of a style of martial arts.  I mean, if you saw some place
that said Tendo Dojo, maybe had a picture of a guy in a martial arts gi on the
window, wouldn't you wonder what exactly they taught there?  So, 'Tendo Dojo'
just doesn't seem natural as a name.

*shrugs*

Whatever.

You don't have to use this, particularly since I'm not sure where exactly

the

three of them are and the location might not have so many chairs

available,

but you could definitely benefit from rewording what you already have.

I was under the impression that they are STILL at home as they had been duri
ng the earlier argument with Hotaru.  So anywhere outside of the bathroom,
toilet, kitchen and bedroom would have plenty  of chairs..like the living
room or dinning room.

Yeah... I didn't know where in the house they were.  Michiru collapsed into a
chair later on, though, so obviously there are some in that particular room.
So did Setsuna, actually.

end of the earth.  --she's not refering to the planet by name, here, but

the

planet in general.  A bit of a distinction...

Wrong again.  "ends of the Earth"  If the Earth is flat (as they used to
believe) then it would have more than one end...like a piece of paper.

Er... no.  That wasn't what I was referring to at all.  I missed the end/ends
thing.  I was talking about the difference between earth and Earth.  Earth
refers to the planet by name, earth refers to, according to dictionary.com,
'the land surface of the world'.  'earth' fits better, and I believe it's what
is used in this particular saying, not Earth.

I could be wrong, of course... but the saying, with the word 'earth' rather
than 'Earth', is also then usable on say, Mars, or Uranus, or whatever planet
they happen to be on, without having to change it to 'I will chase you to the
ends of Mars!' or 'Neptune!' or whatever the planet they are on happens to be.
