[mitsundere]

[And stumble upon them he does. He didn't plan on it, not at all, because he himself was looking for a way to relieve stress and get away from the mess of a situation that was Violet City. Training had already been done for the day, and so his Pokemon had been relegated to Pokeballs, but regardless he needed out of the city and away from his two biggest, current annoyances--Masamune and Ieyasu.

Stumbling across Kojuro was an accident, that's for certain. He's still not sure how he feels about the other since he smashed him in the face (justified or not), so he hesitates, watching for a long moment, eyes automatically, of course, drawn to the sword in his hands, wooden or not. He and Ieyasu had not yet finished fashioning one for Mitsunari's use, and he most certainly missed the comforting presence of one.

...And he knew much better than to interrupt something like this; he was almost of a mind to turn around and go back, though something kept him there watching for a moment longer.]

[Leekduck being far less focused than Kojuro, notices Mitsunari and lets out a quack, brandishing its leek at Mitsunari in warning. It takes Kojuro a few seconds to notice that the Pokemon had been distracted, but when he does he stops and turns to see Mitsunari. He's mildly surprised, and understandably a little apprehensive given their last meeting.]

Ishida Mitsunari.
[His tone holds his usual coldness but it's completely calm. As Masamune felt he had settled his score with Mitsunari, Kojuro had no reason to fight him either.]

[mitsundere]

[There's a similar pause on Mitsunari's end--but ridiculous, he has no reason to hesitate!--that he can't quite immediately brush off.

...]

Right Eye of the Dragon.

[At the very least, he won't butcher your title, Kojuro. He might massacre Masamune's, but that's neither here nor there to his mind.

His eyes are again drawn to the sword, but it's clear that he is interrupting.]

[Seeing that Mitsunari was responding calmly as well, Kojuro motions for leekduck to settle down, which he does, albeit still eyeing Mitsunari warily. Kojuro of course notices where Mitsunari's eyes are drawn. He pauses for a moment before pulling another wooden sword resting at his hip (he's used to having the two of them, after all, and he had the time, so he made a second one.) and holding it out to Mitsunari.]

Care to join us?
[It was an unusual move on his part, but he felt a sense of solidarity with Mitsunari due to their shared values, and a feeling of lonely desperation of a man without his lord, a feeling he couldn't help but empathize with.]
