[But what sacrifices will Ryouma be willing to make to ensure that change?]
[Matoba decides not to voice that thought as he glances away again; his smirk is hard to read- is it annoyance, or amusement? From Ryouma's reaction, he supposes that he was a little too busy (obviously) at the time to notice the sword spirit's outburst during the assassination attempt. That's probably a good thing.]
He didn't know. I thought that was interesting. [Easier to hide his thoughts behind one of his usual smiles.] Well, that one is so difficult.... Like a stray. Even if you try to lure him with food, he snaps, and then goes scampering off the moment you get any words out of him.
[Business notwithstanding- or whatever that last conversation had been. Matoba's eye narrows onto Ryouma with amusement to match his smile.] Seeing this, I'm glad that my clan does not keep a family bow. It would be very... complicated for us if it were to gain a spirit.
