[There is something unusual about Mitsuhide today. Usually the young samurai wears understated colours, such as dark blue, mixed with white and black. Right now, however, he is wearing a canary yellow kimono

[Motochika just stares.]

Mitsuhide. You...

[The canary yellow kimono is so unlike Mitsuhide that he's rendered speechless. So much for a lack of curses.]

Yellow, my friend?

[A brief dip of the head.]

Yes. It's a lovely shade, isn't it?

[He smooths the kimono down with a single hand.]

[Staaaaare.]

It's certainly vibrant.

[A pause.]

Yet there are other colours better suited to you.

[Mitsuhide blinks, a little confused.]

Why do you say that? It suits me perfectly well.

[He runs a hand through his loosened hair.]

I like it.

[behisstrength]

[Definitely a curse.]

The Toyotomi also favour it.

[Motochika cocks his head, his eyes thoughtful, then places down his SFC and wanders off.]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Well... that's true, but...]

Not in this exact shade, my Lord.

[He will be quite stubborn about the fact. Curse indeed.]

[Motochika calls out from off-screen.]

It's a far cry from your usual tastes.

[A few minutes later he returns into view. He's carrying something now, though he keeps it hidden from sight.]

Have you grown tired of purple?

[wavesoakedlegs]

[A confused look spreads across Mitsuhide's face.]

It's not, my Lord... why do you think that?

[He shakes his head.]

Of course not. I wear it on occasion, as always.

I see.

[Motochika quirks his mouth, and then turns off his SFC.]

[Shortly after, Motochika comes to find Mitsuhide, a blue kimono folded over his arm.]

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide glances up when he hears Motochika approach; his SFC is at his side, and he has just picked up a book.]

Lord Motochika.

[The samurai bows his head in greeting, before shifing his gaze to the kimono on Motochika's arm.]

You have new clothing?

action;

[behisstrength]

Yes.

[Motochika stops in front of Mitsuhide, and inclines his chin; he smiles, confident.]

For you.

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitushide puts the book back down again for a moment.]

For me.

[He sighs, and shakes his head. Why does Motochika seem so opposed to his lovely yellow kimono?]

Thank you. I shall wear it tomorrow.

action;

[behisstrength]

Why wait?

[Motochika is clearly not deterred.]

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

There is no need to change right now.

[Mitsuhide rests a hand on his desk.]

action;

[behisstrength]

[Motochika is predictably blunt in his reply.]

You should reconsider.
