[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

A New Year's festival would be most welcome indeed.

[wavesoakedlegs]

We may not be in Japan, but we can certainly manage something of a celebration, Lord Kenshin. I will be cooking the traditional dishes.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed we can. I have some kadomatsu to offer the kami a place to dwell for the celebration. I could bring them for such a celebration.

[wavesoakedlegs]

It would honour us if you did so.

[echigo_wargod]

I would be more than pleased to do so. [ he just hopes the kami aren't too far not to see the invitation. ]

Please keep me informed of such progress.

[wavesoakedlegs]

I will do so, my Lord.

[He dips his head in acknowledgement and respect.]

[echigo_wargod]

[ he offers a nod in return. ]

The Ranmaru about which you inquire, is he of my world or yours?

[wavesoakedlegs]

Of yours.

[A pause.]

...I have been meaning to ask about him, if you are willing to tell.

[echigo_wargod]

Ask to your heart's content.

[wavesoakedlegs]

Thank you, my Lord. He does not trust me, which is understandable... but his welfare is important to me.

[A long pause.]

What do you know of his history within the Oda?

[echigo_wargod]

You are quite different from the Akechi Mitsuhide of our world. Though perhaps in time he shall learn to trust you as well.

[ he pauses as well. ]

He seems to only know the ways of the Demon King, yet he is young and seems willing to learn. He attempted to take my life along side the lady Nohime though the attempt did fail. It seems he also survived the incident at Honnouji, as well.

[wavesoakedlegs]

As long as he is safe and well, I will be content.

[There are a lot of issues there, related to Honnouji and his own friendship with the Ranmaru of his world... or, rather, the former friendship. Mitsuhide takes in everything he had just been told. The 'willing to learn' part is promising, at the very least.]

He survived that battle, in his world? Are you aware of happened after that?

[echigo_wargod]

I shall ensure it personally. He answered my request for a retainer.

[ he offers a soft look of reassurance. ]

I am unaware of what occurred after the incident as I was not aware he survived until I encountered him again here.

[wavesoakedlegs]

I am pleased to hear it.

[A small smile.]

Perhaps I will be able to ask him myself, eventually. My thanks, Lord Kenshin.

[echigo_wargod]

In time, I am certain you will.

May Bishamonten watch over you.
