Thankfully, Doji Tetsuko knew where the archery range was! The Crane smiled at his fellow clansmen and offered her a polite bow from where he stood. He then looked back to the Ichiro. If the Badger believed that all Crane were arrogant and haughty, they hadn't met Kakita Isao. He wasn't about to let her assume he was going mop the floor with her. After all, she could have been a dark horse with a sword! Only a fool assumed his own prowess in comparison to another. Isao smiled and looked between the three.
"I need to go change into my dojo attire! I'll be right back!"
He then padded off to change into proper dojo wear.
OOC: Going offline.

Otomo Katsumi watched the Kakita leave and smiled. She looked to the Doji and closed her eyes. Does she fight with her bare fists... How unusual for a crane. "Thank you for the directions Doji-San." She slips off her shoes and for the first time since arriving enters the Dojo proper. She walks up to Ichiro Priya and again gives the girl a small smile. "You said you were a first year Ichiro-san? That makes you about what 15 maybe 16 years old." Otomo Katsumi chuckles and shakes her head. "You would be about the age of my younger sister then." Otomo Katsumi's smile falters ever so slightly for a moment. She shakes her head and returns her focus to Ichiro Priya. "So then Ichiro-San. The Kakita family are truly the greatest swordsman in all of Rokugan. It would seem almost unfair of him to go up against you. Though from the look of you. I would assume you know your way around that sword?"

The girl would nod and then bow to her sensei.
"I've been around for a while, so just let me know if I can be of any help." She says before returning to her tape.
Once she is satisfied with the taping, Tetsuko takes a low, grounded stance facing the wooden dummy. Earthen. Rooted. It would almost appear as though she was pulling solidity from the deck of the dojo itself.
A slow inhale.
All of her muscles seem to simultaneously tighten and constrict.
A long exhale.
Silence settles on the girl.

"I can swing a sword yeah" she flushes a little "Otomo-sensai. I am also a wrestler, boxer, skater, but I hope to distinguish myself in the Kendo team"
She slowly shuffles from one foot to the other, as the other woman guesses her age. She feels tall. she knows she is, but it is times like this that it stands out. There is always something that stands out.

Oh my so talented in so many fields this could work after all. Otomo Katsumi looks at Ichiro Priya for a long moment. "Well now you are quite skilled. Would you be interested in learning the art of Kyujutsu." Otomo Katsumi adjusts the bow on her back. "One could never have enough skills after all."
Her attention once more turned towards Doji Tetsuko. "Come now do not stand so far. Would it not be better to join us over here." She snaps her finger as though an idea just entered her head. "Why not you two spar? You said you have skills at boxing yes Priya-San?"

"I box yeah" she nods "My clan are better at throwing things than shooting... I am not sure I would be the best fit for your classes Otomo-sensei"
She looks over at the crane, and shoots a shy smile "I box... I can spar if Crane-sama wishes it"

Otomo Katsumi clasps her hands together. "Anyone can learn anything Ichiro-San. Hmmm I think I rather call you Ichiro-Chan if that's okay with you?" She smiles at the girl. "You are just ever so cute." She places her hand on her rather prodigious chest. "I do apologize. You remind me in a way of my younger sister. I can't quite help but gush." She looks over to Doji Tetsuko. "Come on a good spar might loosen you up better don't you think Doji-San?"

Cute... Was she being mocked... Six feet tall, gaijin features and muscled like a Hida... No one had ever called her cute before "chan is fine, Otomo-sensei" she says softly

Otomo Matsuki beamed. "Ahhhh wonderful. Ichiro-Chan I would love it if you would attend some of my classes. I feel as though you and I can be quite great friends." She clasps her hands together. "I assure you. It may not be your specialty but Kyujutsu can be ever so easy to learn."

"...okay" she almost whispers, lost in the attention from the beautiful teacher.
