Otomeken's smile vanished in a flash and there was a quick glow of red on her chest which made her face grimace. "Don't," she said firm and flat, "say anything about my family, or me and my family. People who don't listen to that advice don't usually see too many more sunsets..."

Lenore snorted. "Actually," She said. "I was referring more to your name. It means Blade Daughter in your tonuge, I believe. If, like we said, like mother, like daughter, then you would be meant only for killing, and you have nothing better to offer. Is that what you truely believe? Are you as cold and dead inside as your name suggests?"

Otomeken actually smiled again. "To understand that, you would have to understand the name to it's full extent, and while litterally, that would be it, no, there is far more to me, and to my name, than just killing... Believe me..."

Lenore was thoughtful for a moment, then faced otomeken with a slight frown, not looking her in the eyes. "Do.... you think then, that the same is possibly true of others? That they can be more than just one thing?" Her voice had a tinge in it of something not quite right, but whether it be desperation or fanaticism, would be impossible to tell.

Otomeken sunk back against the side of the pool... "I can't imagine a life as but one thing. I can't imagine being someone so shallow, it would be such a waste of a life to be but one thing in that life..."

Lenore finally let her face break into a grin. "Tell that to Kaliri. You see her as only an annoyance. Expain to her what you just told me, and she'll probably have a heart attack." She waited for a moment, before going on, quietly. "Do you know what real strength is? What it means to be weak? I know we're all looking for those definitions.... But, what's your interpretation?"

"Strength?" Otomeken mussed on momentarily. "Strength, real strength is knowing what you stand for, knowing what you want and what you have to do... And doing it, not matter what. To be weak, is to not find a way around... or through the obsticals that prevent you from achiving who you are, or what you want or need to do..."

Lenore nodded. "Maybe. It certainly sounds pretty. Kind of makes me think, too. Maybe that is it. I guess we'll never know." She considered Otomeken again. "I think you will amuse me. I will look forward to meeting up with you in other environments, to see just exactly what you will be like then. I've heard you're different in front of other people..."

Otomeken didn't like the stigma being attached to her, but she had a decent idea of where it came from... She just didn't now where this person fit into that mix. "I seem to be an amusing person," she said almost dryly...

Lenore smiled. "Isn't that better than anything else you might have been called. I had justifiable reason to call you anything else I desired. I think this shows a measure of constraint on my part."

Otomeken wasn't convinced that this girl had the right or the means to back up calling her whatever she wanted and so she said; "I think you can just stick to calling me Otomeken, and that will be enough..."

Lenore raised her eyebrow. "I can't refer to you as amusing? Whatever will I say the next time someone asks me about you? It's happened, you know...."

"Once again; Otomeken will suffice. I don't think you should talk about people whom you do not know," she said a little put out by the fact that people were asking someone she didn't know about herself...

"Ah." Lenore nodded. "And what is it exactly that I don't know? They've asked me what I've thought about you. I don't think Otomeken is really an adjective I'd be looking for. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue you know." She stood up,and let the towel fall off, feeling that there was no issue, seeing as how the girl was all but blind. (*For a description, see "A Friend Indeed.*) She walked over to some of the rocks, and started climbing, jumping, hopping, frolicking on them. "If I wanted something that rolled off the tongue though, amusing just seems to fit the bill.... 'what do you think of Otomeken?' 'She's amusing.' See? Not insulting, not really anything but the thought that I get some kind of twisted pleasure out of talking to you.... at least on some level." She stopped for a second, momentarily glancing upside down at Otomeken through a few rocks. "Oh, and of course 'cute' works too...."

Otomeken did not look amussed to say the least. "Is everything some sort of joke to you?"
