Priya heads to the dojo, bokken in hand, ready to train, to be better. There is so much going on with her right now, so much shit swirling about her. She needs to get it under control. She needs to get life back in control, and the way she feels that is through the release of controlled violence.
Stupid robots are not quite as good as smashing peoples faces, but it causes less arguments. And she can imagine their faces as she breaks them. She tries to hold back the cruel satisfaction, each of them her sisters husbands, or even sometimes her mother. She needs to be better than this. Aiko-sensei would not approve of this. Skill should be her weapon, not this unbridled anger. Katsumi probably would approve... Another weapon for her to harness. She isn't sure if the her is Katsumi or Priya in that scenario
Stupid robots are made to break to easily, fall apart so they can't be properly smashed. Her bokken smashes into another, and she feels the slight shock of a robot against her. She needs to be quicker. She is letting everyone down fighting like this. She is just going to die, and then what good is she.
She stops another, but feels another sting. Kami damnit! Kmi damnit! Why is she so angry?

Deciding that there were too many boring classes for the day, Tetsuko dodges and heads to the dojo. If any one asked, surely they couldn't fault her for sharpening her martial skills, could they? Musing on this thought, the Doji hums merrily as she approaches the building.
However, it sounds as if there was someone already inside. With the sharp crack of the shoji, she opens the door and steps inside.
Oh, good. It's only Priya-chan. She thinks to herself. The Crane greets the Badger. "Good afternoon, Priya-chan. Have you had your rice today?"

"Hey gorgeous" she calls back, turning off the training exercise for now and bowing to the Crane, walking over
"Had rice, and all that stuff. How about you?"
She gets close to the girl, and runs her fingers through her hair, her breath heavy from the training

"Same." She offers a chuckle. "I wasn't expecting to find anyone here, and less so to find anyone glistening so." Tetsuko motions to the results of Priya's already intensive self-study. "Though I guess there's less training dummies at the moment."
"So, are you skipping class too, or...? I find that usually they don't bother you too much if you make it look like you are doing at least something productive." The Crane sets her bag down before beginning her stretches. After all, if she's going to train, she'd better do it right.

"Glistening eh?" she grins "Who knew you spent so much time looking at my body?"
The way she says it suggests a joke, but with maybe something more behind it
"Yeah, nothing grabbed my attention today, so I thought, fuck it. I am a bushi, I am here to learn to fight. I am gonna learn to fight"
She starts wrapping her hands in sports tape, stretching a little as she does. She is pretty warmed up already, but the muscle groups aren't exactly the same

Tetsuko nods. "Yeah, my thoughts exactly." She begins to stretch her hamstrings, bending over to touch her toes and placing a flat palm on the ground.
"And it's not like you or I blend into the crowd." She adds, referring to their large, muscular builds. "It's hard not to notice." She rises before sinking once more, going a little deeper the second time. "Which, wouldn't be all that bad if it weren't for all the neanderthals who can't keep their eyes from wandering... You know I had some first year Hida come to the boxing booth at one point, and the whole time he never once looked me in the eye."

"Urgh, Kami" she shakes her head "Do you get called exotic? Or Striking? Like we don't know what it means when they say that!"
She stretches her legs too, apparently copying the other woman
"I mean, you are gorgeous, but they should tell you rather than just staring like idiots, you know?"

"Not so much exotic, but striking and quite a few other punching puns get thrown my way often enough. Really, how hard is it to just say what you're thinking rather than trying to be all coded and hope the other person knows what your saying? Especially when they think they are being cryptic, but in actuality are obnoxiously transparent."
She pauses in her stretches. "Also, I appreciate the sentiment, Priya-chan, but if I'm gorgeous then you're positively radiant. I'm sure you have much more of an issue with the boys than I... and definitely more so with the ladies." She throws a playful jab at her friend, lightly tapping her on the shoulder.

"Oh, the ladies are no problem" she grins, her eyes alight with naughtiness "You are beautiful though. I told you as much when we first met. If you think I am beautiful too, I will definitely take it"
She steps a little closer, almost daringly so, smiling in a way that can only say 'I am interested'

"Well, why wouldn't I think that?" she asks innocently. "You shouldn't sell yourself short, Priya-chan."
If she notices how close Priya has gotten, the Crane gives no indication of displeasure at the proximity. Neither does she indicate joy at the proximity, but in Rokugan what isn't said is almost as important as what is, isn't it?
