Years are not the only factors that make a teacher, sir. [she glances up at him with misted, hooded eyes. ] It's how I can support everyone who stays with me at the dojo, and it's what I'm good at.
Swordsmanship--teaching a style of peace..these things my Father died and lived for. He had no heirs, he chose me, even though I was a woman--as his successor. The honor of being his heir--his daughter, to be able to continue something I believe in as strongly as he did to my own students--sure it's difficult and I..won't be able to reach everyone, but it's what I want to do!
So don't look at me like I'm a child when I've had to live a year on my own with only those ideals to get me through! Do you know what it's like being a female swordsman? [ her hoarse voice is a bit sharper, and the machine beeps a bit faster as she stares up at him defiantly.]
I won't allow anyone to discredit my teachings or my style after so much good can come from and has come from it.
