"I wouldn't be too fussed about it. I think my opinion on ronin should be pretty clear by now, hm? Besides. If Tessho can tell me that a much younger, more foolish man hit the waves, I don't see that the Lion samurai in this dojo with me has anything to do with some ronin who once existed unless he wants to."
