Mizuki observed Toga closely, as he was showing her his collection of maps. His body and movements differed from other inuyoukai men. Unlike those slender, yet graceful men, Toga was rather muscular and his movements were quite straight-line, if not a bit crude.

The reason was simple: Toga wasn't born into nobility. He had been a poor bloke, but because of his immense strength and will power he had overthrown the former leader and outrivaled the other possible successors.

Mizuki wasn't interested in effeminate glamour boys. No, she had set her eyes on Toga, crude and wild as he was.
