[Sorry, Majima. That's kind of what he was like. At least he really was being genuine about it. As for the subject of promises...]

A promise? That's a hard thing to make and keep. I know it's different for humans, but...well, I guess I can just say that I admire your conviction.

[There were a lot of humans who took promises so lightly and broke them like it was nothing, trampling all over the feelings of others. The only person he could fathom making that much of a promise to was his liege but even then...the idea scared him.]

You're braver than me, I think.
