[She's a little over one-third Kotetsu's age, she is a total babby!!! A part of Kotetsu wants to be a little smug about the fact that his own daughter is being complimented on her resilience and eagerness to learn, but the fact that it's causing her to possibly partake in dangerous things that keeps him quiet, and he once again resists the urge to snap back with more retorts on how he most definitely plans to be at Kaede's side no matter what, that he'll always keep her safe and that he would never allow anything to happen to her.
But for once, and only once, for her sake, he needs to consider alternatives. Maybe, just maybe, there could be a brief moment in which Kaede would have to defend herself, possibly want to help someone in need as well, and what was he meant to do if he wasn't there? Of course he could just take the responsibility of teaching her himself, seeing as he'd already given Barnaby permission to, but the fact of the matter was that Kaede obviously hadn't wanted his help and had sought someone else out. That... quite honestly, hurt him quite a bit, but if Tenten was reliable enough and Kaede was willing enough to take the time to learn... this was more than he had bargained for. Not to mention Tactless Tenten was not helping matters at all. His worries aren't exactly eased with that brutal honesty y'know.
Kotetsu stayed silent for a long while, debating on whether to agree to all this or not, until finally, he caved.]
...ch. Alright, I'll agree, but I'm gonna wanna see what kind of progress she makes, at least in the beginning. I also wanna know the details of everything you teach her whenever you do your training. And I wanna know the times, and the days, and how long it takes, and if she has to stay out longer-- and if it takes too long then you better feed her or something! Also breaks! Give her lots of breaks, since she's new! And don't pressure her too much, she won't learn well if she's put under lots of pressure! Okay?
