Tatsuo laughs at Hikaru's polite yet friendly letter "elves hmm?" He says trilling his tongue. He thinks about it for the next few hours, mulling over the details in front of his fireplace."it's quite a trip..." He mumbles repeatedly to himself, rubbing his scaly chin. He looks around himself, at his beautiful home and servants "Bah!" He says tossing his tea into the fire. " wether I'm five or five thousand I am a samurai!" [ my old friend may be polite but its clear that he needs me.] he begins packing his armor,satchel, and provisions. He quickly writes a letter to hikaru
Dear Hikaru
I have long wondered at the homeland of the elves and will be coming to assist you shortly, though this bird will reach you long before I do.
