Mitsuhide had finished picking up a few items before waiting beside the coral, so he had not been idle long. Several of his friends had left Vatheon and the trip out had been intended as a distraction. It had worked a little, so when Motochika approached he was able to offer a small smile as he bowed his head.
It was best to be happy for those who had gone home, even though he had wondered frequently about what Rian had returned to. She had died in her own world for the sake of the one she loved, Zen.
"My Lord," he said. "You told me everything was alright, so I must confess to being curious about why you wish to speak to me."
He regarded Motochika with curious eyes. If it had been something minor, surely his friend would have have simply said his piece over the SFC.
Despite that, Motochika was aware that this wasn't a suitable spot to talk, considering the personal nature of the topic. Especially where Mitsuhide was concerned. It deserved privacy; a space that only they inhabited.
"Come, my friend," he beckoned. "Let us talk elsewhere."
He began to walk, trusting Mitsuhide to fall into step beside him.
Mitsuhide raised a slender eyebrow, but did as asked, walking alongside Motochika to... wherever it was the other wished to talk.
"As you wish, then," he replied.
This was a matter for privacy, then? It would make sense, as they were heading to another location. Perhaps his friend wished to ask him why he hadn't made his confession yet. That was possible. It had been several weeks, after all. The only excuse he had was that he'd not found the right moment yet.
It would be best not to make assumptions, though.
"Where are we going?" Mitsuhide asked, voice calm and even. "If you do indeed have a specific destination in mind."
"The lake," Motochika said as he glanced to Mitsuhide, "unless you mind the journey."
It wasn't too late for Mitsuhide to protest. Motochika had not been there for a while; the colder weather had served as a deterrent when he wasn't otherwise occupied.
