Fic post from my archive.
Echizen enters his first battle as a samurai of Uesugi, against the forces of Kaga under Tachibana.
They would probably have been fine if Echizen's opponent hadn't seen himself about to be caught between the two of them and panicked. Momo reacted automatically to the man's desperate, circling slash.
So did Echizen.

That what drives Ryoma on isn't right for a samurai, that it'll probably be his downfall one day, or one of those dramatic ends.

But he always strikes me as also being very concerned for the wellbeing of his team and his game. He makes a good samurai.

I avoid him the best as I can, so I suppose I can do him no disservice, nor service. *grins* Yes, samurai often have sticks and various other things up their asses. Um. He's a good leader! And that is all I will say for I do not understand him.
