Eito is filling out the rest of his paperwork after the wonderful lunch and result of club-day, moving around his expenses to make sure they are balanced for the day and messing around with his investments. All part of the daily maintenance of staying rich and powerful. He is also waiting for the student he invited here earlier, one Otomo Mako who he saw a great deal of promise and potential in. |

Mako had already dealt with Eito multiple times, and well - that was fine. He was likable enough, and she was willing to play along since it kept helping her get what she wanted. So she showed up, just a minute late, a knock on the door, and then an opening, the girl giving a bow before stepping, "Greetings, Eito-Sensei~" She said it with a smile, as she closed the door, "Did you call me here for something important?" Moving to sit, she gave a critical look over the stuff in his specific area, taking it in, "Hopefully I'm not in trouble for something?"

Eito looks up and smiles. "Not at all! Not in the slightest. I just wanted to talk to you about your future, your plans. You are a clever young woman and quite skilled at negotiation and bartering. I wanted to check up with you and see if there was anything you needed to succeed. Tutoring, advice, extra lessons. I tend to take a personal interest in our brighter students."

"Oh!" She blinked, as looked him over, and then shrugged, "Unless you can add more hours to the day..." A little laugh, "No, I mean, I could potentially use some help looking over budgets for student council later this week. We've got to prepare for the Sakura festival, and I'm... one of the only ones good at budgeting on the council." She was... relaxed, as she leaned back in the seat, "Otherwise... just having issues trying to schedule all my dates." She said it with a wink to the sensei.

Eito chuckles. "I was going to recommend an assistant but I don't think that can help you with all the dates. Though I am always happy to look over the budget. As well as let you know if anyone else is manipulating the budget and is pretending to be worse at this then they are." he says as he also leans back. "I have been keeping track of the rumors about you however, always good to follow rumors to make sure nothing blindsides me regarding a student. I do hope they all know about each other right?"

She pouted as she was accused of not telling her girlfriends about each other, "Of course I told them all! I'm not some like, terrible monstrous person. I love, and I love a lot, and with a lot of people, but that means I don't want them hurt either. So of course I tell people up front. And sure, maybe one of them turned it into a rumor like the one going around right now but..." She stopped as she realized she had raised her voice to the sensei, bowing her head, "My apologies, Sensei. I've been accused a few times, of... being a terrible person, who plays with peoples hearts, and pretends she cares. It's not fun." She flicked her hair back with a hand, and sighed, "But like I said. There's not much to do there unless you can give me more time in the day."

Eito holds up his hand. "I will work on those rumors for you. As one who loves many at the same time I understand fully. So long as there is no deception or abuse of heart and spirit, there is no harm. Yes I will certainly work to squash those rumors for you. I'm not sure what else you need the time for or if there is anything else I can help with. I'm not going to lie, I think there is a lot of me in you."

"Mm. I'll have to have that taken out then. You know... cooties and all." She told the joke with a little smile, "I'll tell you now, I have no intention of going to your Shourido lessons, Shibatsu-sensei. I have enough on my plate, and if my parents found out... well." She sighed, "It would likely not be simple for either of us. Not because I hate you, but because my family has a great deal of resources and influence. And if they could not put that weight on you, they would be willing enough to put it on those of your clan, for your 'crimes'." She was very simple about it, as she spoke, like the idea of her family ruining the lives of people who they didn't like barely registered to her in that moment, "However, that does not mean I am not without curiosity, to how something so reviled can be seen as worth the public distaste. Your willingness to openly practice it is... a charisma, of sorts."

Eito rolls his eyes. "I have had my full cootie shots thank you." he fires back before he listens. "Hmm an unnecessary conflict would do neither of us any good. I understand fully how such things operate but, if you have any interest in learning off the transcript, I am always happy to teach. I happen to think it would help you in many of the goals you have stated to me." he says carefully. Her comment brings a sad smile to his face. "I need to exude that charisma. So many are willing to cast us out that Shourido needs a face. Someone who can publicly stand by it, and succeed, and be kind and loyal. And who can defend himself from the barbs of others. By being open and public with my practice, I draw pain away from those of my clan who practice quietly and to themselves. And I help others understand what we actually...do."

"Of course. You draw ire, but give a loving smile that charms people into thinking you shouldn't. That way those who would break under the pressure don't. It makes sense, Sensei." She smiled to him, tilting her head to the side, "I'd be happy to learn a little of what you think, if only because I may one day have workers and friends who follow these beliefs, and it's best to understand those you are friends with and close to."
