"I don't think you are talking down to me. I think you could have better allies than me, but I am not going to turn you away Otomo-sama" she smiles and finishes her tea "I want a lot for my future. There are things I want that might not even be possible. It is not going to stop me from trying though. Why should it"

Otomo Katsumi nods her head and sighs. "Sorry it can be difficult. Years of training from my father..." She holds up her hand and for the first time since meeting her for the briefest of moments. Otomo Katsumi seemed almost... vulnerable. But in only the blink of an eye so fast one could question if it ever existed at all. Damn it why am I now feeling sentimental she looks up at Ichiro Priya. "I disagree Ichiro-Chan. I believe in time it will be I telling you that you deserve a better ally then me." She raises her cup of tea to Ichiro Priya. "Just like Kiyoko... You get to be you. I think I always envied that from her." She drinks from her cup. Just like Kiyoko... What rubbish. "So then what is it that you desire then Ichiro-Chan?"

"Mastery" she admits "I am not sure if I need status, or position. I need to know I am the best at what I do, and what I do is battle, for glory, for the Empire." she thinks for a moment "More than that, I want the strength, to challenge those who would tell me I live wrong, the strength to push them back. I am young now, but I fight for it. I will have it, because there is no second place"

Otomo Katsumi nods her head. "The attitude required if you want to be a champion." She opens her menu and begins scanning the items. "Do you intend to be famous or is this simply for your own sake and as long as you achieve your mastery you care not a lick for anyone who will notice you?" She lowers the menu slightly to look at the girl closely. "Though I imagine you would be happy if mayhap only one person notices you." She raises an eyebrow.

"I have someone in my life. Someone I would like to win, to be able to be with, because I am me, because no one dare question me" she shakes her head "I must sound like the perfect brat, so many demands of the world, not caring a whit for anything else"

Otomo Katsumi giggles to herself and lowers the menu. "Hardly it is good to be ambitious while still so young." She tilts her head studying the girl for a moment. "So who is the lucky girl that you would go so far to win." She folds her hands together again. Don't think I don't notice the way people look at me. Especially those with infatuation in their eyes.

"I think that her honour, and Bushido would compel me to stay silent." she looks at the menu herself "Though, you are the teacher of such aren't you? You can tell me if it is safe to say a name"

Clever, clever. Otomo Katsum chuckles and shakes her head. "Very well I suppose I shall drop the subject. As for whether or not you think it wise to give me a name I will leave that up to you." Is it that you no longer trust me? You seem different then the girl I met yesterday. Not nearly as fawning as before. She places her hand over her mouth. "So then have you made a decision as to what you intend to get. Again do not hesitate on what you can order. No need to stand so strong on ceremony."

"Ika nigiri" she smiles "I am a simple enough creature in the end"
She is pushing, she can feel it, almost teasing, like she did with Tetsuko. She wants the Otomo to respect her, not just take care of her. This is a battlefeild to her, and whilst she might not win, she can at least prove herself capable.
"What is it you like Otomo-sensei? What does a beautiful lady such as yourself choose for lunch?"

Otomo Katsumi opens her mouth and then closes it. Closing her eyes for a moment. Naturally it would be the finest and most expensive thing on the menu... and yet... She smirks and looks across the table to Ichiro Priya. "I to will have Ika Nigiri." She folds her hands together. "Even at the finest restaurant with the promise of anything you can want. You made an interesting choice. In this case I think I shall follow your lead Ichiro-Chan."
