"An old ronin mercenary who I've worked with off and on since my gempukku."

He sipped his tea and looked into the middle distance.

"One of the best men I know. Wasn't born to the waves, he's told me that much, but... whatever he did to end up where he is, I'm glad to have known him. Saved my life more than once. Gives me advice when I need it. Also gives me criticism when I need it. I've missed him during my time here."

"I doubt they'd start now, after nearly fifty years of doing the exact opposite, but yeah, I kind of hope he gets a break one of these days too..."

Sip.

"The last two decades, he's served the Phoenix as a mercenary. Twenty years of fighting battles they didn't want to spend clan blood on. But offer him fealty? Of course not. Then he'd just be another Phoenix bushi instead of a disposable ronin."

"That saddens me to hear, especially at his age it sounds like he could use a break. Could you not take him into your house as a retainer after this? A house guard? I do not suggest that to be demeaning mind you, just as a loophole to help him find some peace and comfort."

"Oh, once I have a household, I think it could work. He has a lot less... pride than many. Pride, after all, doesn't fill an empty stomach."

Sip.

"Besides. He's seen more and done more than most bushi, so I doubt I could find a more qualified man to head up any... defensive measures."

"Their... lands are essentially scattered across the territory of the Phoenix. They're somewhat new to being a full Family, and don't have a lot of unified holdings as such."
