Ever since Ronin's last departure from Wushan Castle, Lurans had noticed a change in his eldest grandson, which was what sparked the idea of a marriage alliance.
Back when Ronin was still an indolent good-for-nothing, Lurans would never have considered such a thing.
'Since my grandson has changed,' he'd thought, 'I should do what I can as his grandfather to create some opportunities for him.'
Ultimately, Lurans still worried for Ronin. He feared that after he died, his grandson would be the first to perish.

"Alright, I've said my piece."
Lurans said with a smile, "Now, let's talk about you."
Ronin snapped back to reality. He had been so preoccupied with the marriage alliance that he'd forgotten why he had come to see Lurans in the first place.
