[Mitsuhide is content, and it shows. There is a soft smile on his face and his body language suggests he is relaxed. A rare state of mind for the samurai, but it suits him. Currently he is sat in the living room of his home, having just come back from a shopping errand.]I know some within Vatheon celebrated it weeks ago, but the day I and my

This is your true New Year? That's interesting... do you guys have a different calendar?

[wavesoakedlegs]

I can only assume that is so.

[..]

We use the Chinese lunar calendar, Red.

[pristinestar]

Lunar calendar? I've never heard of that before.

[He only gets more curious now. B)]

[wavesoakedlegs]

Where I come from, it's a very old one. Ancient, even.

[pristinestar]

How is it different from the normal calendar? Was it hard to get used to our calendar?

[wavesoakedlegs]

I could not say. To me, it is the normal one; I have not looked at the others much.

[He tilts his head slightly.]

So I have not really gotten used to the one most in Vatheon seem to consider 'normal.' It would take some time to do so, I should imagine.

[pristinestar]

Oh... That's true. [a small laugh, he just asked a silly question at first]

But you've been in Vatheon for a while now, too.

[wavesoakedlegs]

That I have. Over six months now.

[A radiant smile; it lights his whole face up.]

It is odd, to think I have been here that long. But I am very happy to be here.

[pristinestar]

That's right, I remember. You're only a month of time behind of my stay, I vaguely remember your arrival too... [Man, time passed too fast.]

And I'm glad to hear you enjoy it here... Well, you have a good reason to.

Anyway, it must be hard if you guys still aren't used to the calendar we follow here...

[wavesoakedlegs]

I do at that.

[He pauses for a moment, deep in thought, before continuing.]

I have never really had a problem with it. Following the one I am used to makes me feel... a little closer to home, perhaps. Despite the differences it has never caused too much confusion.

My life has changed, as have I... but it is nice to keep some things constant.

[pristinestar]

Oh, that's good to hear, then!

Well, since this is your true New Year, I guess it's okay for me to drop by later? [He can't really resist the chance of good festival food!!]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[A chuckle.]

Of course, Red. I am certain you will enjoy the traditional dishes that are prepared for New Year.

[pristinestar]

[Hurray! \o/]

Thank you, Mister Mitsuhide!
