The ballet last night was quite the experience. I hope I performed well? Sensei's extra lessons really helped with that

Thank you very much for the thoughtful gift, Mitsuhide-san. I appreciated it. You're enjoying your Christmas, I hope?

[silk_in_ebony]

Ah.. it was nothing. I like to put my hands at work in crafting symbolic gifts.

My christmas? Ah... yes, as the first I have ever participated in. There is a rather important issue I need to discuss with you, but it can hold until after the celebrations. I need time to relax a little. I do it rarely. And they seem to have retreated from their... sprees, at the moment.

[onetruejustice]

I see. It would probably be a very lucrative hobby for you, should you decide to sell such beautiful pieces.

Important issue? Ah, of course; you've been very hard at work these days. Is something affecting you?

[silk_in_ebony]

Ahhh... you are too kind. I am not convinced they are that good, but it pleases this humble samurai to hear you say it.

Hmmm... I have but...

Perhaps you should know something now...there are two figures in the City who... ah, should I say, they enjoy being killed, knowing they will be resurrected. And I am at a loss as to what to do with them.

They... like death. A lot. Their own, and others. I have been keeping careful watch over both, and they seem to be doing nothing at the moment, but I know they have been active.

One of them is called Akechi Mitsuhide. He is me, from another place. And this is very, very unsettling for me. I'm sure you can understand this.

Mitsuhide-san!

Oh, the presents are so beautiful . . . Thank you!

The robes . . . and that rose! And the bird and the little fox . . . Oh . . . And the cake . . .

You really are so sweet! . . .

I've something for you too . . .

[silk_in_ebony]

Ah, it wasn't sweet or anything. Just... I wanted to... umm... get you something that...

Ahh....

Oh, you didn't have to. Not at all.

[foxy_physician]

You have made this season very special for me, Mitsuhide-san. Not just with your presents, but more importantly, with your presence. Thank you.

Oh, but I wanted to . . . I have made you a small cake as well . . . It's called Black Forest . . . And I have also found a calligraphy set for you . . . I hope you like the color of the brocade . . . And two sumi-e ink sets, one depicting symbols of good luck, the other a lovely landscape . . .

I hope it's all to your liking . . .

[silk_in_ebony]

Megumi... I... That is, I feel the same way. I'm glad you're here. Really glad. Make sure... you come over sometime tomorrow, OK?

Those... those are so beautiful! My current ones are so bland and boring... now I can write my poetry with something special and meaningful. That will make my work so much better! I'm sure the thought of you and your gift will inspire me.

It is. I must get the recipe for that cake sometime... More than I can express.

[fateddance]

I thank you for such fine gifts. You are a truly beautiful person, Mitsuhide; a skilled warrior, musician, dancer, poet and artist.

When you are not otherwise occupied, you must allow me to gift you in turn.

[silk_in_ebony]

Ah... Sensei, I do not deserve such praise from you! Truly, I am no match for yourself in such matters. Without your aid I should be a most poor dancer indeed...

Anytime, Sensei, though I am undeserving.

[fateddance]

Then perhaps you would care to join me in Xanadu? I will not keep you too long.

[silk_in_ebony]

Of course, Sensei. I am on my way.

Your performance was wonderful, Akechi-sama. And thank you for the present.

[pinkikemenhero]

As for the plant that's popping up everywhere, that is mistletoe. People generally kiss underneath them. I'm not sure how that tradition got started.

[OOC: He would've had to try so hard not to throw the bunny statue if Mitsuhide had made that instead. XDD Then probably gave it to Kuromi.]

[silk_in_ebony]

You honour me, Hiiraga-sama. It was a pleasure to create it, and I am thankful for the praise. The ballet was quite difficult, but very enjoyable.

..so that's how it works? That explains the way people are acting... I think I might have to avoid it, to prevent any embarassing situations...

[ooc: I tell you, I was so tempted to get him to make it, but I didn't want to be that mean. XXD SO tempting. You have no idea, LMAO!]

[pinkikemenhero]

I've been trying to rip down and throw out as much of it as I can. It seems to pop back up whenever I'm not looking though.

[OOC: Aww XD But torturing Hiiragi is fun AND canon!]

[koutei_heika]

Why...Mitsuhide! It's beautiful. Did you make this yourself?

...I unfortunately do not have something prepared for you at this time...In my country, we do not celebrate such a holiday.

[ooc: Hotohori heard about this being a religious holiday. As a devoted warrior of Suzaku, he can't morally participate~♥ PS, if you want awkward WTF mistletoe action, that's fine. It would be pretty funny and make for much awkward silence.]

[silk_in_ebony]

As a matter of fact, neither do we, but as a festival to celebrate peace and the appreciation of other I thought it good to try and particapate. I don't expect anything back, of course. And yes... I made it myself.

[ooc: Mitsuhide hasn't a clue about the religious aspects, himself. XXD I know it's a little late now, but we can assume for awkwardness later? XD]
