"Someone special. In all the right ways."
She gives the most wistful, smitten smile. Drowns her thoughts in memories of the morning. Even her building sense of fear of the Otomo before her became just silent enough for her to calm down.
"Have you been so blessed, Otomo-sama?"

And Dessert just got more delicious didn't it? She raises her cup to her lips and sips from it. The game far more entertaining at that. She places the cup down on the table. "With something like that no I'm afraid that I can't say I have. Though I have recently been blessed to have discovered someone I have come to view as a worthy Protege. A small seed with so much potential I can't help my desire in watering it and seeing how it grows." She chuckles at her own metaphors. "Though I had been hoping at this school to find someone a little more... serious." She eyes Utaku Hisui for just a moment before returning swiftly to her cup.

"A pity. But I spent years without such fortune, only to find one now. Good things come to those who wait, Otomo-sama," she says, her mental filters finally kicking in. Possibly along with her survival instincts.
"A protege? Well, that does sound like a good project. Direct mentorship of younger samurai is a practice that's slowly dying out these days, but I think it could be helpful for some students." Assuming the mentor isn't a predator. When talk of someone serious, not to mention the glance, passes, the Unicorn holds firm to her darling Crane.
"I hope you find them, then. The Fortunes are merciful." She turns to the Togashi, perhaps trying to find an escape. "Wouldn't you say, Togashi-san?"

The Togashi is far from dense, as she watches the back and forth, no blush gracing her face even as she retreated slightly, "Oh dear, so openly discussing such matters. Oh my." The young teacher didn't wish to chide, but so much of etiquette was being broken in front of her - women dating women? Open flirtations between an Imperial and a simple Unicorn? Both women? One taken? One... grooming a student? The Togashi had trouble not calling out the clearly un-samurai like behavior... but it was an Imperial... "I did not realize that romance was the topic of the day. I apologize for not coming more prepared for such."
She was called out by the Unicorn, and simply answered, "So long as a person is righteous, and their hearts unwavered by the temptations around them, the Fortunes will grant them kindness unending."

Otomo Katsumi waves her hand in front of her face. "I suppose you have a point Togashi-San the discussion of romance is a topic best kept... off hand." She leans back in her chair sipping once more from her cup. "Then how about you Togashi-San you are a new teacher what is it you intend to teach?"

"I was hired to teach the ancient art of the tea ceremony, and shall also be running classes on how to properly speak from the heart, to use limited emotion to pull at the emotions of others, to make your arguments seem more sincere and meaningful, and how to show that sincerity without breaking your On." She seemed happy with the choices in lectures, "I hope to help young women - and men, of course -
master the traditional arts, so that we do not forget where we come from, even in this ever changing world."

Hisui breathes easy for the first time since the damn conversation started. She listens to the Togashi, finding the lessons she teaches all too familiar. There was a different sensei that taught similar things, all those years ago.

There's a few choices on where to shift and move to, in the room. She could sit close to the Otomo, but that may be implying a familiarity that was improper to show an Imperial. She could sit with the Utaku, and risk being thought of as some form of girl-liking... pervert(?). There were the two men who were watching, but she hadn't even been properly introduced in the conversation... in the end, she decided to shift towards the Utaku, bowing before she sat, "Would you honor me with the right to join you, Utaku-sama?" She paid the respect Hisui was due with her age.

"Of course."
Hisui nods. She moves over to give the Togashi some space. The lady seemed uncomfortable with the earlier talk, and a little space may help with that.

Yia sat with the same peaceful smile, and a small bow of her head, "I hope I did not wound your pride with my earlier remarks. I was only surprised, not upset." She looked over the other woman and said woman's... assets, pretty indiscretely. And then her own. And nodded as she then looked at Katsumi's. There's no visual reaction to what she feels about the other women, except perhaps a sense of belonging.
