Ambition... And yet here you are, with a new goal. I suppose nothing is unchangeable, even our deepest desires.

Thank you Raoh-san. However if it is the trust of others you seek, you may not wish to associate with me. I leave that to your choice, and will not be offended should you reconsider, and I will remember the offer.

If you do not reconsider... You have my gratitude. I would like that, I think. And you may, I believe, rely on my strength should you need it.
