She clears her throat, "Do you have a specific taste, Mr Otto? Or do you think others could find me attractive as well? Also I have... as of late been convinced to reduce the fury of my conviction in that matter." She sighs, "Also Leanne has made me promise not to."
"As for other questions... how did you make your fortune?" She smirks slightly, "Now that I can't simply seize it for the people... perhaps I should consider acquiring funds of my own."
Otto visibly relaxes, more in this comfort zone. He could talk about his taste in women all day. "My tastes? Well a pretty face doesn't hurt. Nice breasts are always good. What I like the most though in regards to Elezen are their legs. Long and...seductive. Their height as well. I am not particularly fond of Midlander and Miqo women. Sure I'll take them to my bed all the same but I prefer women to be taller than that."
Otto turns his head in a smirk as he tries to suppress a grin as a thought crosses his mind. "Perhaps your fury would be sated once you get a man and/or a woman in your bed to...satisfy you" he turns and laughs. "Forgive me for laughing but I think I may be onto something."
Otto clears his throat though and kills the humored look on his face at once as he thinks about business. "Well less than two years ago I would've been considered a working poor member of the village my wife and I lived in. After her murder...I sold everything we owned and came to Ul'Dah to start a new life. I was determined to work for myself and only make and sell what I considered a joy. This inevitably led to fashion. I have been wearing suits ever since I made my first one once I moved out here. It was...surprising how much more people took me seriously when you aren't dressed in drab and everyday adventuring gear over a fine suit."
"How I eventually and quite luckily got popular was due to my unrelenting determination. I have probably given away...dozens of outfits. I would say 'Tell them Otto Vann made it' when and if they we're asked where they got the fine threads from. I think over the course of the months it caught on and worked. I gambled and starting asking extraordinary amounts of gil for my work, and that also....worked. People pay a quarter of a million gil for one of my ruby rings now. I've made jewelry for Courtesans and their...erotic piercings, I've made dresses for little Noble Ladies. I work with what interests me and is attractive to my ego."
"Luck though I would say is my main contributor for my wealth."
