Well you want your goals to sort of go against each other.  That classic struggle of the expectations of your lord against your own desires.  So your lord being your role model would just sort of go where you want to be.  Maybe his Lord is one of those great lords but sees the gift of Takehiko as something more advantageous for the Mirumoto family and so he wants him to pursue that life over the path of a warrior.  Maybe he even fears of losing Takehiko if he pursues that lifestyle.<br/><br/>Could have a story develop where he sees Takehiko as almost a son and fears losing him as perhaps he lost his own son or maybe Takehiko's father.
