"What's Tomobiki like?"
Pausing, as if trying to figure out the best way to describe it, the young woman ultimately lets out a small chuckle before answering:
"Well, it's a pretty small, out of the way country town, so it's pretty quiet and uneventful. Most of the stores we have are those small, family operated kind of places, but they started work on a mall earlier this year, so that could be something to look forward to I suppose, other than the Hospital, it'll be the only building that isn't at least thirty years old."
Another pause, then:
"There are some urban legends about town hauntings now that I think about it, and the Inn is a Five Star Inn, but other than that... Nothing particularly notable about the place."
A very honest answer.
While she didn't outright call it boring, you got the feeling that she perhaps thought of it as such deep down, at least a little bit, but when you lean in closer to ask the second of your questions, that girl-!
"That woman is... Kind of a weirdo. She might not look like it right now, she's putting on her adult face for you guys, but once she figures out what someone is good at, she'll latch onto that thing and force you to get way better at it than you'd ever willingly do on your own, because she's a weirdo that finds it fun to train someone only to defeat them again, then repeat the process to infinity, like she wants to be everyone's personal rival! And there's even some sort of reward for actually managing to beat her in something, so everyone kind of falls for it-!"
Fast...
The words that flow out, almost seem rantish in nature...
"And when she's not doing that, she's making up bizarre school rules or new festivals, is overly curious about anything people try to hide even if it's rude, can turn hyper-protective of her students in a heartbeat if she thinks they're in trouble, and just generally seems to do things purely to see what sort of reaction she can get out of people... Having said that... We're not blood related, but she's kind of like my eccentric aunt?"
A sigh, but one made with a smile.
"So I gotta admit she makes life interesting."
