[Ah. Tian cast him off, then. Rain... well, he can understand it. If Okita pledged his service to Tian and then went and did something so consequential - and so reckless - behind his back or even against his will... Rain doesn't necessarily like it, but he can understand it. What Tian does is his business, though; Rain's just concerned with Okita here. And he never truly understood why the man pledged his service to the dragon to begin with.]
Here, perhaps, you are. But you know that he was always just a substitute. [Rain's aware of how cold and harsh that sounds, but he's not taking it back. While a fair portion of his anger has abated at seeing Okita in such an obviously shaken state, it hasn't entirely dissipated. After a pause though, he does temper his statement a bit.] Your true master is elsewhere.
[Another pause, and then...] What do you mean by 'barely that'?
