Originally from Kyoto. First person: Atashi (feminine/elegant Kyoto style) Second person: You (polite but cold) Tone: Soft Kyoto dialect. Elegant and polite, but terribly malicious. "Hehe, you certainly say the most amusing things." "You're going to lecture me on love? My, you truly are a whimsical soul." "Kyahaha, are you an idiot?"
