This isn't a subject she should go into. Wouldn't have, if she weren't so thrown by facing a woman so comfortable surrounded by so many weapons. Who asked these questions.
...she hesitates. But.]
...I was born into a family that is renowned for producing skilled swordsmen for generations. The samurai bloodline is something my father, and his line before him, took pride in. Unbroken in so long... my brother was meant to shoulder that honour and prestige and take on the dojo, continuing on the proud traditions of our name.
Samurai women... don't fight. Though they might play at it as a child. I... even my play-fighting, when my brother drunkenly challenged me in front of his friends as a joke... I could not be beaten.
For the heir to a proud samurai bloodline, the heir to the dojo, not to even be able to beat his own sister... is a terrible disgrace to the family name.
