Nobutada bows shakily.

"N..noble sir, I am not one who has been trained in combat. I grew up in the back alleys of the Imperial city until ah....a misunderstanding forced me to relocate out here. Now I mine and guide people through the forest. I'm not noble or brave like you samurai. But at least I have the common courtesy and open-mindedness to see where everyone fits into the picture, not just those who are good with weaponry. We all have our uses, young one."
