[ hehehehehehe.

but yes, there sure is a scuffle between them, isn't there? shylock wasn't able to get the whole story from hizen, tongue-tied as he is with Emotions brimming forth at the time, so it's only sheer good luck that ryouma dropped by. he's a nosy wizard, do excuse him. ]

I understand that you gave Hizen away to Mr. Izou despite him being a family heirloom. You must have had such a deep trust in him.
