Sora, cradling the small Nezumi in his arms like one of his own children, closed his eyes against the sudden rush of sunlight.
And actually smiled.
So there you are, old girl! I was beginning to think you'd forgotten us here...
He turned, seeing the Thunders in quite literally a new light.
I actually know these people.
So that's nice.
He had no grand spiritual gifts to bestow, no blessings of the heavens to call forth.
But he went to each Thunder, in turn. And let his eye do a bit of theatrical glittering, as he stomped down the myriad futures he was now seeing around each Thunder.
"Ryoshun-san. They will need your guidance, as the only shugenja among them. I would offer you my own guidance, but it's nothing you haven't heard before. The enemy lies. But you were chosen, and we all see the why of it. You may doubt your ability to serve as Knowledge. Just remember that once, a barely-literate semi-barbarian was tasked with aiding in the the rescue of a Kami. You're more than enough."

"Time to stand, Wu-san. For the world, for the Empire, sure, but also for these people who have sheltered us this past week. And for her. It wasn't honor or duty that got Hisomu out of the pit, and love will have its day again."

"If your father and I have ever agreed on anything, it was that our children are world-beating miracles. It was an honor to fight beside you last night. It will be a greater one, in the years to come, to see what you do next."
"I'm glad to see the man you have become since arriving here. You are more of a menace to our enemy than you ever were before- and a better human being, in the bargain."

He gave the Spider a wry smile.
"Just pay him back for the punches his shadow gave me on the trip south. You ought to be big enough by now, hm?"
He looked the Stag prince up and down.
"Heroism suits you almost as well as fatherhood, Hantei-san. And I have no doubt you'll do even better at it, because we both know it's easier."
He winked.
"We've had our differences. When you get this job done, I suspect we still will."
He bowed.
"I look forward to our next disagreement, Akodo-san. Because I know you won't back down from anything."

"Jin's been waiting on this ever since we went South, before he'd ever even heard your name. Going to be no living with him when he hears he was right."
He bowed to the Ki-Rin.
He was visibly struggling with his amusement as he spoke to the Scorpion.
"With your permission, I guess I'll be watching her back for a bit. You... try not to fuck this up, all right?"
