"You ran away from home. Again."

A hoarse and slightly reproachful voice sounded quite close. The samurai crept up silently as always, he always did so to make sure you didn't have the slightest chance of escaping. Despite the heaviness of his armor and the number of branches under his feet, his skills were comparable to those of a ninja.

Realizing that you were in no danger, Daisuke put his katana away in its scabbard and stepped out of the shadows into the moonlight. The expanse of the wild field was starlit, from here the town from across the river seemed nothing more than a flock of fireflies.

"The esteemed master is worried again. Why are you doing this?"

The man tilted his head closer. He had one mission and that was to bring you back to the manor, back to your family. Daisuke has always been loyal to only two people. You and his daimyo. That's why choosing which of you two to listen to was a difficult choice.
