 Ararikku sighed, he had expected as much. It was slightly Ironic, that Bushimarus need to become flawless had created a flaw of it's own. "Honor does not always mean victory. You brought my domain and yourself great honor, just by your actions in the tournament. You fought valiantly to your last, you gave your all for what you believed in, this is the most important thing, and this is why I take pride in having you as my lieutenant" Ararikku said "You are by far one of my most loyal and efficient followers, I cannot deny that you carry my missions out to the utmost of your abilitys.....The lieutenant tournament was far from a mission though, I do not think less of you for not becoming the champion.....in fact it was interesting to see you display emotion in a battle. I rarely openly witness much of your personality" he added. He closed his eyes "It is true that your love of a heated battle can get in the way at times, your habits in battle confuse me sometimes" a smile tugged on his mouth for a rare second "But it is by no means a dishonor, it's just the way you are. In the future you may change, or you may not. All I can give you though is my own views, I have no power or right to alter the way you feel about battle, live or die by it, you can fight your battles how you choose"

 *The fact that his superior takes pride in him puts his worries to rest. The fact that Ararikku is understanding towards him makes working for him that much better.*
In that case, sir, I have no regrets. *he bows, then rises.*
Ararikku-sama. If there is nothing else, then I wish to return to work and redouble my training.

Ararikku nods, seeing that Bushimaru understands "Very well then, you may return to your normal duties, that will be all" he answered.

*Bushimaru does a quick bow, then exits*

A small brown dog padded down a dark stone spiral-staircase, a routine clanking noise echoing up from down below. The dog eventually reached a sturdy looking iron-bound wooden door at the base. A bronze plate had been bolted to the front upon which was engraved 'Raphael Vindar Steppenwolf III'. However, on the wooden surface above this the word 'Wolf' had been scratched none too carefully into the wood. The dog pushed the door open with it's nose, revealing that the clanking sound was coming from Wolf himself, who was currently pulling up quite an impressive stack of weights on a weight machine. The room was quite a mess. a medieval looking 4 poster bed took up a fair bit of space, most of the rest being taken up by piles of books and scrolls on summoning and various creatures of Gaia (plus a few manga books) and training equipment. Across one wall there was a shelf containing a long line of trophies, one of which was from the recent tournament and a small TV though how he got reception down there was always a mystery. There was a picture on the wall next to his bed, but who it was of also remained a mystery.
Wolf still had a large wrap of bandages covering a lot of his upper body, visible through his trench coat, and come over his right hand, after breaking it in the process of knocking Bushimaru out. The dog, Kasshoku, yipped at Wolf in a concerned way.
"Ah don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, little bita aches and pains here and there, but nothing too bad" Wolf replied, continuing his exercises. Kaashoku turned and sat down on a rug, letting out a wuffle at Wolf "Are you kiddin'? that was the most fun I've had in ages....swordilocks was tough....I hope he doesn't hold anything against me, but he doesn't seem like that type of guy" Wolf said, grinning "I feel like I have even more motivation now, yeah, I'll bet we'll fight again sometime, and I'm gonna be as ready as possible" Wolf said energetically, increasing the pace of his weight lifting. Kasshoku tilted his head to the side and barked "Nope, I ain't forgotten about that....I could never forget that....but still, that battle made me want to redouble my efforts towards taking down old blue as well, oh yes! I'm going to push extra hard, there's no turning back now!" with a particularly hard effort Wolf pulled the weights up hard enough to smash the top bar they were suspended from with a crash.
After a short pause, Cerberuses voice echoed down from upstairs "Are you breaking things down there again?!" Cerberus called, sounding annoyed.
"Uh......maybe?" Wolf replied with a sweat drop. Kasshoku let out a snuffly laugh. Wolf then went back to his little dramatic moment, striking a cheesy pose and clenching a fist "Thank you....Bushi-kun" he said to the wall.
"Who are you talking to?!" Cerberuses voice echoed down once again, leaving Wolf on the floor as his moment was broken again.
