I... blame my upbringing. I lived... live? Lived? A very sheltered life. My parents didn't want me to go out without any supervision, and even then they restricted my wanderings to be purely around the castle? So... I... grew up not having an understanding over social standings and.... ranks. [he winces] Most of my knowledge came from books. It was Iwa-chan who actually came up with the idea for me to be able to see the town and it's people, my people, to my parents. Of... course I... took it into my own and gave him and my other guards the slip those times too. But, it... [he shrugs] I can't explain it properly. But it opened my eyes and made me realize that I have it a lot differently than others do.

There are a lot of things I take for granted and those experiences helped shape who I am today. Of... course I do have a very hard time submitting my will to most. I hate bringing him up around you so many times, but I feel like Iwa-chan surmised it best one day after bailing me out of yet another fight with some random alpha I ran into on the street. He said it was like I was looking for someone who could take me word for word without having to resort to cheap tricks or heavy use of their presence.
