Priya rode to the restaurant that Otomo-sensei had texted her about. The sort of place that she could never afford on her own. The sort of food people paid as much as she made in a year for. She takes a breath, looks at the way she is dressed, and hopes it is good enough.  Well, she will pass muster a little at least. She looks around for Otomo Katsumi, but doesn't see her. She decides to wait outside, breathing slowly, trying to get a hold of herself |

Some time passes. Before a limo pulls up next to Ichiro Priya. Otomo Katsumi steps out looking quite a bit dressed up. "Ichiro-Chan! I do apologize for making you wait." She says walking over to the young girl. "Ahhh look at you ever a vision as I expected you to be." She bows to the girl the same smile on her face as always. She tilts her head. "What's the matter you seem flustered you aren't getting sick already are you Ichiro-Chan. The school year is only just starting." |

She gives a deep bow to the Imperial "Not sick, Otomo-Sensei. Nervous. Beautiful women, older than me, from Imperial families do not normally invite me out for lunch" she gives a smile, trying to get her nerves under control "I am still questioning what one so high as you could see in one so low as myself, but I think the best thing to do is probably accept it ne?"

Otomo Katsumi places her hand on her chest. "Oh my you think me beautiful Ichiro-Chan." She shakes her head and walks past the girl. "Come now let us not darken their doorways you must be hungry. Please do not feel the need to hold back on my account. Order as much of what you want I'm good for it honest." She gives the younger student a wink. Hmmm such a low opinion of yourself or such a high opinion of me? Hmmm I suppose it can be both. Well lets just feel this one out before making any moves.

Priya follows her in, aware of how tall she is, how her clothes are not as fine as anyone elses. She takes a breath again, and sits with the Otomo, bowing to her with a smile "Thank you so much for this Otomo-sama"
She brushes a little hair from her eyes, and orders tea when asked what she would like to drink, letting her betters take the lead on the conversation.

Otomo Katsumi sighs as she removes her hat. She orders herself a tea as well then turns her full attention to Ichiro Priya. "Honestly Ichrio-Chan you needn't be so nervous. Honestly I never pegged you for the shy type. Nor the type to be down on herself." She tilts her head as though looking at the girl in a new light. "You said earlier you were confused as to why someone as high as me would take interest in someone as low as you. I wonder now my dear why it is that you would consider yourself low?" Granted I know why you would consider me high. She offers the girl a charming smile.

"I am of gaijin blood," she gives a little shrug "That always marked me as different. And here, I am a massive granite slab of a woman, so different from the dainty, pretty women all about me here. I stand out, as different, as a minor clan, a gaijin."
She takes a sip of her tea "It is something that I am trying to accept. But it is different for me"

Otomo Katsumi clicks her tongue and shakes her head. "My maybe I did peg you wrong Ichiro-Chan. When I met you yesterday you seemed so confident and assured of yourself." She looks into the girls eyes. "Your appearance is nothing to be ashamed of." She motions around the restaurant. "Take a look at all these other women. For that matter take in me." She motions to herself. "Not much of a difference is there. It's all sooooo boring." She waves her hand and sighs. "You though when I met you yesterday I saw you in a woman with confidence. Sure you were bashful when looking at me. To be fair I expect that from everyone." She shrugs her shoulders she never did try to hide her own vanity. "Embrace who you are. Be proud of who you are. That in my opinion is true beauty." She leans forward. "When you make it big and you will I saw it yesterday. You have the skills and I hope you don't have doubt in that. Will you still shy away from the lime light or embrace who you are?"

She feels the need to bite back, perhaps unwisely "I believe in action Otomo-sensei. I am not good with pretty words. I shy away from them, because when I am drawn in I lose. I hate losing" her eyes take on a passionate gleam
"I am here to win. To make everyone see that I am their equal. To make them see that I am proud, I am strong, that I deserve to be here"
The Otomo makes her feel modest, lesser. But clearly she does not want that. Well then, she will not have it. This is a combat all of its own after all

hmmm fiesty Otomo Katsumi grins at the girl. Folding her hands together she watches her closely. "Now there's the Ichrio Priya I met yesterday. You are a winner. That to is what drew me to you. I like winners." She tilts her head watching the girl. Indeed I was not wrong about you. Now then... Otomo Katsumi unfolds her hands together. "So do not let these others intimidate you. Just be you." She shrugs her shoulders. "You needn't worry about what they think. Leave that to the one who is skilled with pretty words. I believe in war it is an art to know how to use the skills of your comrades. if you have no skill in one thing allow another more knowledgeable to take the reigns. It is no loss to acknowledge needing help." She smiles a the girl again. "I do mean it when I say I rather enjoy your company Ichiro-Chan. I want to see you soar if you feel you are at a loss in a war of words there is no shame in asking me for help. I would do so gladly." She closes her eyes and sighs. "I do apologize if it sounds like I might be talking down to you. I mean what I say truly I do."
