When his turn comes and after the initial pleasantries, once Shika Pei-Pei explains the nature of the interview, the Stone Matsu, Matsu Ishioka, doesn't smile. But the glow on his impassive face, the light in his eyes hint at him being pleased at this "test."
"Shika Pei-pei-sama, this one is honored to speak of his distinguished ancestors..."
Ishioka described, in detail, the exploits of his great-grandfather, Matsu Ishikawa, the cunning tactician who won Breath of Beauty village from the Dragon. He described the serenity of his grandfather, Kaiu Odoma, who taught him the importance of a warrior's mental as well as physical stamina. He described, with extra gusto, the archery talents of his ancestor Matsu Hikohime, who among other achievements had made a top-three finish at an Imperial winter court. He described how, despite her small stature, his ancestor Matsu Fujiko had been among the greatest athletes of the empire in her time, with physical endurance like a Crab and sustainable speed like the fleetest Daidoji scout.
It was a through and compelling recitation. By the end, starting to feel some fiery Matsu pride in his belly, Ishioka smiled and bowed politely but he was glad to be dismissed by the Shika. Some fresh air would most certainly do him well.
