I am beginning to think it will be necessary for myself and my family to find a new home, soon. We have lived in this house for a long time, but while there are rooms enough for us each to have a bedroom, I feel Gracia needs more of her own space. A proper training room would be useful as well. Myself and Lord Motochika cannot spar in the space we ( Read more... )

[Ah. It makes sense that Mitsuhide wouldn't know Christmas traditions.]

It seems to be a festival celebrated in the West. Where I'm from, we usually just hang up stockings and eat a cake.

Hmm. I see.

[He's gradually putting more pieces together, at least!]

I followed some recipes for various cakes and other desserts last year... but is there a specific type of cake that would be most appropriate?

[video] rise_to_caesar December 13 2011, 21:47:23 UTC

Yeah... Christmas cake.

[Duh.]

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 13 2011, 21:52:37 UTC

But what does it comprise of? I must confess, I have found several different recipes for what is described as 'christmas cake.'

[video] rise_to_caesar December 13 2011, 22:05:35 UTC

[...That's a good question. He's never really put too much thought into what kind of cake a Christmas Cake is. He'd never really made one himself.]

I guess as long as it has whipped cream and strawberries, any kind of cake will do.

Thank you. There is one such recipe amongst the ones I have; I will be sure to use it.

[video] rise_to_caesar December 14 2011, 14:38:22 UTC

Are you really going to make one? From scratch?

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 14 2011, 15:16:49 UTC

That is my intention, yes.

[video] rise_to_caesar December 14 2011, 16:36:52 UTC

Think you'll need someone to come and taste test? I've had a few Christmas cakes in my time...

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 14 2011, 16:40:43 UTC

[Mitsuhide actually laughs at that.]

If you are offering, I will not say no.

[video] rise_to_caesar December 14 2011, 16:57:53 UTC

[From what Akihiko nows about Mitsuhide, he takes a great amount of care in the things he does. He can only expect good things from this cake endeavour.]

I'm sure you'll have a few volunteers... I bet your daughter would be more than happy to help too.

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 16 2011, 19:26:31 UTC

[Mitsuhide actually makes a pained sigh in response to the mention of Gracia.]

I suspect she will want to help me make the cake.

[It's clear that this is not something he would be happy about. Cookery is far from one of the young woman's talents.]

[video] rise_to_caesar December 19 2011, 16:28:36 UTC

[Mitsuhide sounds a bit reluctant at that idea... And Akihiko has a feeling he knows why.]

Let me guess... Not one of her talents, is it?

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 19 2011, 16:35:17 UTC

...no. I'm afraid it isn't.

[TO PUT IT MILDLY. Mitsuhide makes something of a face as he remembers past efforts on her part.]

She has more than once 'decorated' the walls of my kitchen with her efforts.

[video] rise_to_caesar December 19 2011, 16:41:27 UTC

Sounds like she and Yamagishi might get along...

[He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, trying not to grimace too much.]

Maybe your friend, ah- your Lord [He tries to remember titles] - could take her off your hands for a while?

[video] wavesoakedlegs December 19 2011, 16:46:05 UTC

It's worth a try. Lord Motochika would certainly not mind, although I would have to ensure I do not tell her when I intend to do my cooking.

[A sigh, and he smiles again.]

She may try to insist, and while I appreciate her generosity and energy, I would prefer she did not assist with cooking for this festival.
