Treaty with the Tsurachi Family

Perhaps it would be good for the Sparrow to make an alliance with the Tsurachi family.  For instance, Sparrow bushi may come in handy guarding the Wasp Nest.  Then the Tsurachi family can send out more of it's own to bounty.  The sling is similiar to the bow in that it's a longer distance weapon.  Also the bushi would come in handy at the keep, where long distance weapons may not be as affective.

Though perhaps for the Sparrow's service perhaps it would be best for their help in hunting down criminals.  Such as those who have tried to take my life.  As the Tsurachi are part of the Mantis clan, they are less likely to be attacked by another clan. 

Also the Sparrow's help may come in handy in tracking down criminals.  For instance Sparrow's may see criminals as they travel in there service.  Or perhaps they may obtain information.  This may be of use to the Tsurachi family.

Perhaps the Sparrow should have a Day of the Sparrow.  In which those who wish to join the Vindicaton show how well they do with the sling.  If they do well then they can be part of the unit.
