Rai hadn't seen his master in awhile and heard that he was 'back in the game' so to speak. So Rai felt it was time that he met up with and talked to his master to see what needs to be done. So off to his new place in Gods territory.
Once there Rai knocked on the door and waited for a response. He rubbed his eye patch. So much has happened since the last time I saw him... I wonder what he'll have to say... Rai was truly worried on how Mathew would review his actions of the last few months...

"Come in Rai."
Mathew's voice called out from inside the building.

Rai opened the door and stepped in tentatively looking around the room as he closed the door to see if he find his Master. He continued to walk in until he saw Mathew and would bow respectfully.
"Hello Master."

Mathew was in the kitchen eating a sandwich, which he lowered seeing Rai. A displeased frown twitching across his features.
"The fuck is up with you? Are you fucking cosplaying as Unfettered or something. Boy somebody had better have ripped out your eyeball to have you adding the patch to your ridiculous white hair."

Rai was confused at the outburst. [ii]Who in the hell was Unfettered? Is he the one people keep connecting me with?![/i]
"Uhm, I am very sorry but some crazy ass bitch ripped it out when I found her intruding on our lands, I tried to fight her when words didn't work and then she took a trophy..."
To prove his point lifted up his eye patch to show the empty eye-socket. Rai covered his eye again and he spoke.
"As she walked away she said something about keeping my hair the way it was. Also you're the second person to which has compared me to someone, who is this Unfettered person?"

Mathew's frown deepened as he let out a sigh.
"Well at least you didn't change your name to something dumb that's not even a name." He said.
"Still, I was going to praise you for making the effort to get to know the Crows and scope them out, but if you don't even know who one of their top members are..."
Well then Mathew had to wonder what he learned.

"I am sorry Master, but the way everyone referred to Delilah I was under the impression that she was their Leader. I had no idea there were others. I am sorry for my lack of knowledge in this."

He shook his head and gestured to the seat across from him.
"Sit."
He kept his gaze fixed on his young apprentice.
"I've heard that you have been busy. Care to elaborate first?"
Give him a chance to come clean about what he felt he should before Mathew started.

Rai sat as he was told and then collected his thoughts together so he knew how best to present his case.
"Well I guess short story for this would be I met Sider again, almost killed him for working with Barker till a Crow recruit calmed me down and we explained Barker to him to which Sider responded in helping us 'save' Asiv who was being held by Barker. Which went south got help from Delilah and her crew. Barely got away, only to find out we fucked up Asiv's plans to kill Barker. Then Delilah got mad scolded us, and Asiv for not including anyone in on his plan then we all went home.
Some time later I went back to Crow territory to seek out Delilah and learn whatever it was she would be willing to offer. I was hoping that in doing so I would please you in the thought that even though you were gone I still made sure I would grow in strength. Delilah tested me a bit before she agreed to teach me anything including offering me to join under her with the crows but for obvious commitments I chose to stay under your wings. Through her I learned whats truly valuable to me and that what I wanted in the past was nothing but Childish fantasies. She taught me how to control my emotions on the battlefield so that I don't do anything reckless like I did when saving Asiv. I left her with a better understanding of myself. Though she was sure to warn me that I shouldn't do anything that would look as though I was disobeying you, to which I assured her that everything I do that benefits me is meant to benefit you.
Shortly after meeting Delilah I was on my way to meet Rose, oh yeah Rose is a bodyguard that my father has assigned to watch over me it gets rather tedious at times. Anyways on my way to meet up with her I ran into an orphan on the streets, Yachiru, her orphanage had gotten burned down and after a small scuffle do to a misunderstanding I have now kinda... adopted her? I am training her to become stronger but she is just a child all the same so I am her current and only care taker. When I finally caught up to Rose she had found a young rascal herself Zaxinous or something or another like that. He is round my age but... He didn't have a very good upbringing it would appear as he isn't quite the sharpest tool in the shed and yet he has some hidden potential that I can feel. So after some talking I decided I would train him as well. While I was talking with Zax Sider appeared and we got into more conversation and he decided he wanted to come with us to Dragon Territory to join the Dragons with Yachiru and Zax. So I sent a letter to Leon to get permission to bring guests with me into Dragon Territory, including Sider. To which he granted them a bandanna with his symbol upon it, so I lead the three of them to Lightening tower where I was allowed to initiate Zax and Yachiru, Sider asked to join as well but I told him not then for he needed to find himself again. During my fight with the two Sider had a break down and left Dragon Territory, followed by Leon's men.
Now I've been spending most my time with the Warhazzards trying to sort out their shit for them because apparently they can't do it themselves. Sider wishes to be trained by me like Zax and Yachiru but I told him he had to win your approval and the right to be called a Dragon before I would accept him. Other than that I've been trying to train Zax and Yachiru to make them stronger. Now I know how it looks with me taking on apprentices while only an apprentice myself, but these poor kids need all the help they can get and the least I can do is offer them the same training that I received growing up to build them up. I'll admit that I had them build us a place to stay but its for them so that I didn't have them move into your house without your permission and so that when you no longer want me in the same household I would have a place to go. Right now it is used only as a place where I do their training. I hope that I haven't done anything to upset you Master and if you want clarification on anything that I have mentioned then I will be more than happy to answer. But I swear to you on my life that nothing that I have done was ever meant to be of any sign of disrespect to you or my promise to you. This I swear on my life and my honor as a Sudeki."
When Rai had finished his tale of all the accounts that he could remember that were relevant he took a breath and waited to see what his master would say.

Mathew listened to Rai recount his tale, not saying a word. Even when Rai finished he just sat their in total silence, staring at him. Almost like he was waiting for something. His face as smooth as stone and betraying nothing that was going on behind his emerald eyes.

Rai didn't know what was on his masters mind nor did he have a clue of anything else, hell at this moment he didn't even know if Mather had just died and was stuck in that position. But for now Rai would stay absolutely still and he wouldn't avoid his masters gaze. He would watch at wait for a response of any kind before he would dare break the silence that seemed to have taken over...

And so they would stare at each other for several minutes in silence before Mathew finally moved. Pressing his lips together and shaking his head.
"Your hair looks stupid."
Most of what he was going to punish Rai for actually didn't need a punishment. There was really only one thing.
"I banished Sider for a reason, and I do not take kindly to you going to Leon to get that lifted. For that reason I will punish you. And require you to reclaim the bandanna until his tasks are over. My men have already been dispatched to offer him his... choice."
The last word was said with a smirk.
"Other than that. Good job. You have grown and matured. So let me ask you this. What have you learned."

Rai thought for a moment to figure out what he had learned.
"From the short time I was with Delilah I learned how to handle my inner peace and to calm my mind in battle so I won't be so brash.
My meetings with Asiv whenever I caught up with him once after meeting Delilah I learned that not everything is as it seems at first glance and that sometimes I need to take a step back to get the whole picture.
When Dealing with Blaze in trying to understand him, which I still don't, I learned how he views you and Leon and I think he is wrong for how he sees you two but I learned that to seek a wide variety of knowledge one must be diplomatic and know the right thing to say at the right time so as to not step on any toes.
From the two young ones I am learning how to be a better leader and by helping them become stronger I am in turn becoming stronger as well.
Though I will say that Leon has probably taught me the most important lesson sense you've been gone. I have been taking hand outs and gaining power or strength from others hard work, and I realize that if I ever want to be strong enough to become an elder I need to stop accepting the hand out that others offer me and start working my ass off for every single thing that I may need to help me become stronger. I need to start being dependent on only me, and I shouldn't be so quick to have to rely on other until I've run out of every other available option."
Rai stopped speaking again mulling over his words trying to find if there was anything missing.
"Other than that, I've just learned that the bonds that I have are important and I shouldn't do anything that would jeopardize them."

"I see." He said slowly, nodding along. Good lessons all around. And he was quite pleased to see that Leon got that lesson in to his head. Good on him. Though one thing he had said struck Mathew, and his curiosity was spinning. Leaning in closer he spoke up again.
"So just what did David say?"
This was probably going to be good.

Rai just shook his head and sighed.
"He disagrees with you and Leon in the fact that, quote 'Mathew and Leon only concern themselves with strength. Because of that, they become narrow sighted.' I think he is under the wrong impression. I know you and Leon quite well better than I know Blaze, but from what I've seen he tries to grant himself more power over you two when he has no right to do so, but those are for talks that are above my pay grade. I just disagree with the view he has of you two, y'all are both far from being narrow minded."
