"Oh boy, we really need to get you out of this house, Ryuu" says Haruo bringing his hand to his temples "You speak like a poet or prose straight out of a scroll" 

"However, you seem to have the right idea of things, I'm glad Takeshi managed to raise someone bold. Anyway, a direct attack to you would be the worst thing the Tiger could do right now. Your family is one of warriors, something the old men in the capital cannot claim. Should a direct confrontation arise from outside, you'll get your power handed out to you. As for us, I'm glad to hear you'll support us as your father did. Get your time to prepare Ryuu and recover your strength. We Boars can weather out the storm should it come to us" 

"However... there is another issue I must speak off. My nephew, Kitsune? He arrived at your home, did he not?"
