The spider nods his head and takes one of them. "Thanks, you are too kind. Oh I know. Thats why I came here to teach it. That's been my job my whole life. To show the bright side of Shourido with my personal story. That job has been made....challenging sometimes but I prosper."

"Don't mention it." He replied as he lit up one and gave it to Aziz.
He then sat down cross-legged and lit up his own.
"So you are a man with a plan."

"I pity anyone who doesn't have one. Those who simply...take it as it comes will find themselves tossed and turned in the sea. Even those of us with plans will face severe difficulty. Shourido is all about the planning. About knowing your goals, plotting them out, controlling the outcome and sticking with it till you win. Some people think that's evil but I think it just depends on the man and the plan. I want to rebuild lands that were razed, see peace come to this world, help lift my people out of poverty and disgrace, and see the Empire stronger on the day I die then it was on the day I was born. Is that evil?"

"Evil is a very generic term. I was taught to ignore negative and nonconstructive criticism. You should probably do the same." He sipped from his cigar.
"Personally I am just stalling. I even enrolled as a freshman, when i could easily go for third year and be done with it. I continue studying because I do not want to actually do anything. Probably in you eyes that's more evil than anything else."

"Ignore is..unwise. Insight is always useful. Even if not for the reason the giver thinks it is. It may show me a path they are afraid to take where I can surpass an otherwise superior opponent." he says with a thoughtful nod. "Honestly it is. I hope you can at least make something of your time here. You have been given a gift Tarik-san. Few are born with the opportunity you have, Fortunes know I wasn't."

"Now you sound like my mother." He joked. "The adopted one not the biological."

"I take that as the highest compliment. You don't need to follow the plan set for you, that is the essence of Shourido. You need to find your plan and act. Whatever it may be. To strive for perfection."

"You are not that old. Still you don't get it. As a male specimen of the human specie in his late teens, I just want to take a breath, act silly and have some fun." He explained.
"Perfection, status, power and everything else can wait. Money can buy me anything tomorrow too, not just today. To borrow some of your mo, I assume control."

Eito smirks. "Then don't tell me you don't have a plan. You do. Your plan is to enjoy yourself. Not the one I would have gone with but, it's a valid one. So pursue it with passion and excellence"

"Oh, I will." He replied with a smile.
"Have you been here long?"
