"I like his cooking. I am impressed by his manners, even when he tries hard to hide them. I guess you can understand that despite being surrounded by people all the time I find it had to relate with them to a level that would allow calling them friends without lying. For real I am paying him to cook for me. Still he is one of the persons of my gender in that school that I can talk without having to observe all the rules of etiquette. Does this explanation help?"
He smiled cocky as he watched at her being laid back. "Do you understand now why you should have been wearing a swim suit? My view from here would have been much better. Not that it's not already great."

She crosses her legs and folds her hands together. My bartering for him may be difficult. She grins and folds her hands together. "I apologize. Still if the view is great there should be no true problem correct?" She nods her head a few times. "So a friend. How admirable. It makes a bartering more difficult. On the one hand I want to ask you what you view as a fair price." She waves her hand in front of her face. "I am throwing a huge party at my private mansion tomorrow. I would very much like to employ his skills at this party. Lets start with this may I have him for this and what do you believe is a fair asking price?"

He smirked at her.
"A woman like you knows that even that is an understatement. I am sure that you know perfectly well how good you look. I bet more that one man have lost their heart to your striking looks and quick wit. What did you expect this boy to do, not notice?"
He shrugged and turned on the reclined chair so that he has better line of sight to her.
"I know about your party. If you would allow it I could provide far more than the chef. I suspect that you could use a bartender, a live music act, a VJ and a DJ. I will not name a price though. I never do, unless it is my final word on the subject. I like hearing the initial offer since it allows me to better measure the person sitting across me."

Otomo Katsumi chuckles and shakes her head. Well now what should be a fair starting bid for all of that. She folds her hand in front of her face in quite contemplation. "Lets start simple for the privilege of being allowed access to Gyushu Kogeki-San. I would be willing to grant a favor to your personage." She smiles with a slight nod of her head. "Don't dismiss this out of hand. The favor of an elder Otomo quite a bit can be done." I would like to lock up this chef before we deal with the rest.

He sipped from his drink.
"That's a good start. Being a Prince back in the Jewel I can appreciate the function of the Imperial families better than most people. What about the rest?"

She holds out her hand. "The rest is a matter of how personal connection you have to them. Are they people you are close with or do you just know people and can pay for them. So as before with Kogeki-San. What do you feel their value to you are." She shrugs her shoulders. "Making a proper offer can be difficult without first establishing a proper starting value."

"Indeed these are of less sentimental value." He admitted.
"You made my morning more pleasant than it would ever be in the classroom. I need to somehow compensate you for putting up with my nonsense. So give me a juicy secret and I think we are good. How does that sound?"

She chuckles and leans back in her chair. Juicy secrets now lets give him this one. She smirks and nods her head. "Juicy secrets I Have just the one. Even relevant to our chef." She downs her drink. "So you know how he seems to be having a bit of a relationship with a young Kuni by the name of Kuni Hinata?" She glances at him and grins. "Well young Kuni Hinata seems to have her sights set on another much bigger prize. Namely Iweko Yoshinobu-Sama."

He smirked. That would explained it all.
"Well played." He commented.
"You probably realize that Kogeki-san is oblivious. Yesterday he turned down a date with a famous Doji music idol, because of his sense of loyalty."
He sipped from his drink. "What's your plan? I want in."

She leans back in her chair and folds her hands. "I'll be quick to admit. I find his cooking to be nothing short of amazing. High praise coming from an Otomo raised on the finer things in life. My actual desire for him is limited." She unfolds her hands and runs it through her hair. "It is ever the duty of the Otomo to protect the throne. This Kuni Hinata no doubt sees a chance at calling herself Empress and is no doubt taking advantage of the young princes good nature and youth to her own ends." She looks at Tarik for a long moment. "My plan is to perform the duty of the Otomo. I want to destroy Kuni Hinata. In fact the main reason I am even throwing this party is to break the child." She motions towards Tarik. "Before I go into plans and your involvement therein. I need to know Tarik if you are truly friends with Gyushi Kogeki what do you want to do with this Kuni Hinata? Are you willing to destroy someone's spirit so thoroughly as to see them left an broken mess that can never be rebuilt?"
