Sorry I've been a bit on the slow side to reply. I fell behind with some things so I'm going to catch up on reading the thread now and reply.<br/><br/>LuciousLeche: That's true, trust is earned so a random eta isn't as certain to be loyal. As they're good information gatherers too, I can definitely see how the point cost might be worth it. I just wondered, because an eta 'acquired' from somewhere and expected to do precisely as a samurai says is less likely to be loyal than one who's treated kindly and who has a rapport with the samurai.<br/><br/>So yeah, NM. :D
