[For anyone that happens to know Kotetsu, you might be a little surprised at the serious, almost stern features on his face. He almost looks as if he has something dire and important to say, and in fact, he does. He opens his mouth-- and then closes it, his eyes going wide slightly, and he stares down at his feet as if trying to recall what he was going to say.
Damn it, public speaking wasn't ever his strong point, but Barnaby had taken care of the first message relating to this subject so it was only fair that he'd handle it this time around. Finally, with an assured nod, he lifts his head up.]
Okay, I'd like to have everyone's attention please! I know a lot of people probably know more than enough about those killings going around, and if you haven't, get outta that rock and read yourself a newspaper. It's good for you. I'm not sure how many of you remember the message someone named Barnaby gave about this "serial killer" in the area, but it's related to that.
[Kotetsu takes a deep breath and removes his hat, his expression going serious again.]
They're calling the guy that everyone is looking for "The Crim Cutter". But that's not his name. His name is Lunatic. He's from my world, and from the looks of it, he's now in Death City. Back home, he was famous for going after criminals and giving them his own brand of justice, and that was by killing them. No one knows what he really looks like because he wears a mask and an outfit, and no one knows how to catch him. Not yet at least. He's never gone after regular, innocent people though, so there isn't too much to worry about. Still, he's dangerous, and he shouldn't be here. We can't let him stay loose for long.
...some people might think that he's not that bad of a problem because he goes after criminals, people who you think deserves this sort of thing, but that's not true. It's a lie. No matter who he goes after and why, he's killing people, and no matter what, that sort of thing can't be forgiven. You don't get any kind of justice with murder. It's not right!
[He doesn't realize the tightened hold he has on his mirror or the raised tone in his voice until he hears it slightly echo in the room he's in, and Kotetsu jolts slightly, surprised at his own outburst. Calming down, he rubs at the back of his neck and continues.]
Ah, so, if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or my partner. --oh, my name's Kotetsu. My partner's Barnaby. We've dealt with this guy a lot longer than Death City has now so hopefully, we can help out in catching Lunatic and getting this all to stop as soon as possible, because trust me, he's not gonna stop for anything.

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?
no subject
All right. That's fine with me. You can watch from afar. I'll also debrief you in the mornings and in the evenings about her progress and our lesson plans. If you have any experience of expertise, or know others in your world who have similar experiences if you want to introduce other people who might surpass me in a certain aspect. The times will always be in the morning training, unless you're otherwise notified which I'll send in a text immediately. It'll be every morning, about an hour and a half and don't worry! I'll make sure to feed her breakfast in the morning or cook something if she comes over to my residence to practice accuracy with darts, which should be pretty safe but it's always effective. And I understand the need for breaks. Guy-sensei, my teacher, never gave out breaks and, in some respects, I became a better kunoichi because of it, but I understand the value of not exhausting yourself - especially since the limitations and cultures are slightly different here, anyways. Either way, I have no intention of pushing her to the point where she's physically rendered unable to perform, but, you do have to push yourself to make yourself ready for the day of combat.
[ She then loosens up to a smile after a grave expression on her face. ] But don't worry about that! I'll make sure to do it gradually! And, in times of war, if I deem her unready, I'll be right by her side to fight with her and pick up any slack she might have left out! At the moment, she's a priority. Does this ease your mind?
no subject
It... makes things easier. Kinda. Not, really but... I mean, t'be honest, I'm still really doubtful about the whole thing but I just can't help it. This is the first time she'll be doing anything like this-- I mean, aside from the training my partner was giving her. But as long as you do a good job and keep an eye on her, then... then I'm okay enough with it that I won't be too worried.
[No matter what, he'd still be an overly fussy father, but at least he'd simply do that in a way that wouldn't interfere very much with Kaede's training with Tenten. Or at least, there would be minimal interference. Over time. Gradually. Remember, overprotective and all.]
