He said retirement.

More than one surprise came from his father today.  Perhaps the notion of Sirius retiring shouldn’t be a surprise though?  His father was getting older, by a good margin honestly.  Who would lead next?  Azure had led the Armada for a short while once but Kotori noticed that his older brother had not come in the raid.

Kotori had found a spot for Sirius and himself near the rapids, alert watching his dad, “So, not only do you come start a surprise raid but also throw out this surprise.  When will you be stepping down as warlord and who will be replacing you?  I admit, a good way to bring such news."
