I think it depends on who you're dealing with? Because none of the ones I'd been around before were "lax". [They were kind of assholes, if he were to be honest.]

Yeah... They were always coming around the orchards and such acting like they owned the place and could do whatever they want and demand whatever they wanted. Not that any of them knew anything about what they were doing since, well, I'm sure they would've taken over way before then if they actually did. [Nah, it seemed that they needed the Higashikatas in order to help feed the rest of the people in that land, but he wouldn't put it past them to make it seem like they knew better.

Golds, man, Golds.]
