Thank the Kami for her fan. As she hears the battle cry of the tiny pink lesbian it goes up and she winces at the tackle hug. Then she cocks her head. "Please Mako-san, we had agreed some formality was called for. Hello by the way. This one was unaware you two knew each other?" she asks with the calm and patience of an emotionless Crane.

Hisui is quick to respond.
"She knows my daughter. And has decided I am to be her older sister," she explains. It is the truth. The whole truth. And nothing but the truth. Except the whole bit about not being a decade older, but Hisui filters that out. Mako had far too much energy for Hisui to keep up with, even when she was in her Battle Maiden prime.

"I did agree to be more formal! When we're supposed to be, but you're with my oneechan, why be formal?" It takes her a few moments but the insistence from Hisui that she's just a friend of her daughter's makes Mako drop down from being a necklace, and pout up at her, "You know, I'm not a kid anymore. It's been like, a year since you last saw me!" She pointed up at Hisui with a grin on her face, "So clearly you should give me that kiss you owe me." She brought up the very... very long term 'agreement' she had forced Hisui to make for when she was 'older', with no shame of Fuyuko being there at all. Indeed, the Otomo was entirely without shame at the whole ordeal.

Fuyuko clears her throat slightly, fan flipping in disapproval. "Mako-san. Not everyone can pay back such debts from you. Nor is it wise to demand it. There are matters here that this one does not think you know. Please drop the matter." Last thing she needs is for her little bubblegum daughter to trigger the beautiful friends bad memories.

Bad memories indeed.
Memories that being on the other side of didn't help one bit.
She steels herself, eyes closed to flush away the memories. The pain. The discomfort. Things were better now. Things were different now. And she would not make the same mistake. She'd rather report herself to the closest Magistrate --- the Doji who she judged was well within iaijutsu kill range --- and confess to some horrible crime warranting death rather than make that error.
"Otomo-chan, listen to your other sensei. Even if you won't listen to me," she says. "And I'm sorry I made you seem so unfamiliar. You're my little sister. My hyperactive, bouncy, pink little sister."
Who really needs to find a girl her age.
"But yes, listen to Doji-sensei."
She mouths silently to Fuyuko her thanks for the timely rescue.

Mako pouted as she was scolded not only by one sensei, but also by her oneechan-sensei. But after a long moment, and the admittance to being Hisui's little sister, she pepped right back up, "Oh, fine. Maybe next year!" She grinned at Hisui as she said that, an implicit promise that yes, she would ask for a kiss again, a year later, and likely the year after that, and the year after that, until Hisui gave in and gave her what she wanted She was an Otomo after all. They always get what they want. "I apologize for being disrespectful,
Doji-sensei~" She singsonged it out, as she bowed to the sensei, not seeming that sorry, "I just got so excited, I didn't think about how it might offend you, or anyone else." As she raised her head, she was already back to grinning, "I promise I wouldn't hurt Hisui-nee, she's like, my favorite person in the entire world, and I would bring the full force of an Otomo's ability to stymy and ruin the life of a samurai, before I would want her hurt." She was still smiling cutely, bent over and holding her skirt down as she looked cheekily up at the Crane, "I swear on my honor."

Fuyuko gives a small nod. "Good, this one is pleased to hear this." she says before she looks out to the lake with small disapproval. "This one is surprised others are up so early. But she supposes we needed singing and energy at this time so the Fortunes provided them."

"Energy in abundance, this one."
Hisui decides to smile, to make up for the initial coldness.
"Oh, but how did you two meet? Don't tell me she committed a crime at some point?"

Well there was no point in lying about it, after all. Hisui would find out eventually, and it was better to be honest, "I ran into her in the halls yesterday. And I thought she was a student like me. And we started talking, and she was really great and interesting and nice,
So I asked her to be my girlfriend." She gave the basic outline of what happened, a little blush on her face that grew gradually darker, "Oopsie."

Hisui sighs. This was...not unexpected behavior of Mako.
"Otomo-chan, while I..." Completely understand? Well, I do, but let's not say that out loud right now. We might scare a potential new friend away because you couldn't stop wondering if she might be interested in things that she is probably not interested in. Fortunes above, stop thinking like Aiko. "...won't chide you about that last part, you really should confirm someone's age before asking that," she says, chiding in a friendly but stern manner. The kind of tone she took when trying to convince her daughter not to use violence in talking her brother out of his very dangerous project. "I know someone who looks younger than you, but is probably closer to my age. Or older. It's hard to tell with her, actually."
"Ah, will you be in either of our classes?" she asks, switching to what she hopes is a more neutral topic. "I'm teaching Singing and Enigmas. And Doji-sensei is teaching Law and Iaijutsu."
