Ahaha, I think an old soul such as himself could stand to be ruffled every now and again.

[and yet higekiri gets unhappy when someone tries to ruffle him??? he and jiji truly kin,,

but regardless at the question, he's going to pause for a moment before offering up a smile]

... we allowed Yoshitsune to live, did we not? For him and Benkei to both travel to the north, to start life there and cast his old one behind... That is not history as most know it - and yet I do not think it was a mistake.

Moments like that... I think they are what myths are made of. And I do not mind the occasional, harmless myth.
