"We have a saying, here in [[Lookshy]]. Goes 'Raise your sons to be Nitei, not Chumyo.' Heard it all my life, but didn't understand it until my boy, Turan, was three. His every other word was 'me' or 'mine'. Children tend to selfishness; it's up to parents to train it out of them. You indulge your children, let them have their way, they get spoilt and live their lives like they're the ones who're in charge. But if you raise them with discipline, they learn how to work ''with'' others instead of above them and if they ever get a command, they'll know how to treat and use the soldiers under them. | "We have a saying, here in [[Lookshy]].

Maybe that's alright where it's a boy and his horse and the open plains, but even in [[Marukan]], a leader of men needs something more than his own pride pushing him on. Not that Ruja doesn't have something to be proud of; I watched the smug bastard duel a few of our comms when he came here to tour the [[Marukan Reboubt|redoubt]]. He knew some martial arts, gave as good as he got, but I think [[Karal Linwei]] would've beaten him in a real fight. It goes back to discipline; I don't think the boy could have taken the pain. |
"It probably won't matter, in the end. He'll train in [[Celeren|his father's manse]] and lead a small scale of horsemen out into the field. His personal skills will see him through a fight with a rival horse-clan and he'll take up arms under the protective wing of a Legion force if something bigger comes our way. He'll fight an engagement and think that he's a damn hero, while a battle raged on around him and he stays ignorant of the movements of troops. Sometimes I guess that's just the way it is." | "It probably won't matter, in the end. He'll train in [[Celeren|his father's manse]] and lead a small scale of horsemen out into the field.
