Snippet #1532681

"Hn, I was unaware of this rule, it seems a bit strict does it not sensei? However, I would thank you for informing me of it." She bowed lightly, though she was of higher station he was still sensei.

"And I am glad to meet you also, Shin'ichi-san. I look forward to speaking with you again and I hope that you would let me take up some of your time in conversation." She bowed to her fellow student, and shadowed her face so that he would not see the small twitch at the corner of her eye when she thought of her father and the way he managed 'his' company, it was as good as hers at this point. She would not let that child take her birthright away from her!

Toshi Kotoa kept a serene smile on her face that she made to look blank and air-headed, just as her father and every other person expected of women of her station. It would be best for her to seem this way, easy malleable and polite to an informal degree. Such was her lot in life, though she did have to say that such a facade did help keep any kind of suspicion off of her back, allowing her to run her father's company from the shadows, unseen.

"Thank you for taking me sensei, and thank you for your compliment, though I am sure it is overly-flattering about me..." Only her eyes could say otherwise to her perfectly oblivious expressions, they were cold and hardened to the outside world if seen in a certain light, sometimes it has been said that they contain flames of cold fire, flickering just beneath the surface of glass, only truly seen in situations in which she must be cold and ruthless - but when it happens it is bright an unmistakable. Well, if you believe the rumors that is.

Toshi took in the information the teacher was offering her so freely, intelligence was never amiss, perhaps she should start carrying her little black book around with her more often so that she could write these things down... Perhaps, she though as she fell into step just behind and to the side of the sensei. I think I will take Latin. This sensei seems so eager to spill all of these personal and intimate details, that and Latin would be a useful language to know, I think.
