⟪ [ SAKURA ] swiped right, send a message to initiate conversation. ⟫

Signorina, your hair is so pretty!

Oh! Thank you. Yours is very pretty too!

I didn't think I'd meet a princess on this app!

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, since it doesn't really mean anything now...
Everyone else has much more impressive things to say about themselves!

I think it's impressive! You must have a lot of really interesting stories to tell, and I bet having an upbringing in an environment of diplomacy will come in handy here!

That's very kind of you to say, Dottoressa.
I hope it's true! I don't want to let anybody down.
If there is ever a need for a social event, you know where to find me.

I think a doctor is far more incredible, though!
Where I come from, it's very very rare for women to become physicians.

Could you help me draft a letter? I'd like to request an audience with the Hierarchy, but I'm not sure what's appropriate...

（ she keeps falling back on 'why don't i just punch their doors down and go in ANYWAY' and whew, lads, at least she has the presence of mind to accept that's a bad idea. ）

Oh? Is there a reason for that...?

（ woman from strictly gendered culture, learning about other gendered cultures, finding it to be bullshit, news at 11... ）

I can certainly do that!!
That's the kind of thing that an aristocrat like me is best at.

It's just not considered appropriate for women.
We're expected to be wives and mothers, especially within the nobility.
We belong in caretaker positions, or utilising feminine skills - maids, nurses, teachers, seamstresses... though I know some commoners must make ends meet as merchants.
But women who pursue inappropriate occupations will often suffer bad reputation. I've heard some female physicians are called witches!

[ it is so painful that she has to keep pretending this is something she buys into and that she's completely oblivious to the concept of inequality. help. ]

I see.

（ a weirdly familiar conversation... ）

Well, I don't know that any of that applies here. We're all a bit out of our cultural depth, right? I'm certainly not a witch, and I like to think my reputation is okay.

Ah I hope I didn't imply that I think badly of you!
It's just a superstition, it's not something I really believe myself...

Actually um
Dottoressa, are you willing to teach others?

No, I didn't think that at all, I just meant more generally, that everyone grows up with prejudices and beliefs that aren't necessarily true... but I like to think that they can be overcome.

（ people have truly grown to love and trust naruto, after all... ）

Yes, of course. I'd be happy to teach anyone willing to learn. Are you thinking for yourself...?

（ since she kinda didn't specify. ）

Yes...
Although you said my skills might come in handy, I'd still like to be a little more useful.
I certainly can't fight, but maybe if I learnt some basic medicine, I could at least help the people who do get hurt...

I understand.

I've agreed to teach a young man around noon each day, you could come earlier if you'd rather learn alone?

That would be lovely! Thank you so much for your kindness.
Whereabouts am I to find you, Dottoressa?

I'm down by the harbour, it's just a tent for now, butted up against the crumbling wall of an old building. I'm near Frederick's Fishery, if that helps.

Okay! I'll be there tomorrow!

[ and she will show up! because grabby hands give me rhys threads ]
