Plus with all that he mentioned before about the hell of training and fighting for Sainthood... but that didn't need to be said again.]

Would the Cloth have continued to sleep forever if no one was worthy of it? For this type of Cloth, it will never leave you once you've become its owner, but in turn, you cannot leave it as well?
