Renji smiled when Liam mentioned he would like to visit Renji's home. [color=black]"You should. You'd be welcomed with open arms. You'd think with all the people we care for we'd be sick of visitors. It's quite on the contrary. The more the merrier. It brings us news of the outside world as well as an opportunity to teach about our own lifestyle."[/color] Renji explained with a warm tone. He was enjoying meeting new people and possibly making friends. Sure he considered his fellow monk's friends, but they were more brothers and sisters. He also looked forward to making new friends soon with his team. A small dissapointed smile crept across Renji's face when Liam mentioned he didn't live in the city. He stifled a wince when Liam mentioned his father again, but thankfully he changed the subject once again.

[color=black]"A retired huntress was traveling through Mistral and happened upon the monestary. I was sparring with a friend and she was watching. She sounded like my father speaking about my potential and she recommended enrolling. She also spoke about how the Grimm attacks were increasing and more and more people were getting hurt. It reminded me of all the pain and suffering I saw in the refugees we cared for. So it's simple. I'm on a mission of peace and purpose." He said before taking off his straw hat revealing the ancient texts tattooed on his scalp. Bowing his head slightly his voice slipped in his stately tone as he spoke of the text. [color=black]"We are taught each man has a purpose and if he finds his purpose he will pass into Serenity. I believe it is my purpose to protect not only my home from Grimm, but all of Remnant. The only way I can acheive this purpose is Beacon. That is why I am here."[/color] He said replacing his hat upon his head after muttering a short mantra. As easily as he slipped into it he was out of his serious tone and back to his friendly smiling self. Cocking his head to Liam he asked, [color=black]"What about you?"[/color]
