It seems many fear the 'mistletoe' plant, doesn't it? Do not worry; while it was cursed to follow us about before, I doubt it will be affected in such a way again, making it easy to avoid.

[He sounds faintly amused, but embarassed as well. That plant caused problems for him plenty, before.]Especially considering that a different kind of curse is

[ Gracia gulps and hesitates in answering. She promised herself she would be there for him, even if she has to see...even if she has to hear him in pain, again. Like at that time --

-- Shaking her head free from any other thoughts, Gracia replies steadfastly. ]

Then I'm on my way, father!

[kagayakashi]

[ She runs as fast as her feet can carry her, arriving at the front of the shop in less than five minutes. Thankfully, she was close to the area. When she spots her father, she stops and gasps for breath. ]

...W-Will you begin right away? Or is he going to make you prepare in some other way, f-for the tattoo?

[ "So that it doesn't hurt too much?" ]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide is ready. When he spots her he smiles, and nods. His hair is pinned up into a bun today, for good reason; the tattoo will be done on his shoulderblade, and he will need to lie down and keep the lovely head of hair out of the way.]

It will begin right away. We were simply waiting for you to arrive first, should you wish to come.

[The local who runs the place is waiting, and so Mitsuhide stands up and walks into the room where it will be done, expecting Gracia to follow.]

Please try to stay calm through this, my girl.

[kagayakashi]

[ She gulps nervously, and enters the shop, partially hiding herself against her father's sleeve. Like a little girl.

Gracia can't help it.

She doesn't like seeing him in pain.

But she must. ]

I will...promise I can hold your hand while you're getting it done, okay? Father?

[He keeps hearing about this plant... This plant is officially upon his list of terrifying things.]

I have been told before to avoid this 'miss-ell-tow'... The more people speak of it, the more I find myself growing wary. I shall do my best to avoid it - many thanks for the warning your have presented to me, Mitsuhide-dono.

[A pause-]

But these... Curses, as you say? What should I know about them?

This curse definitely could have been worse... Glad to see this place is going easy on us for now.

[Especially since he arrived and, you know, his first experience was LOL KRAKEN.]

ACTION; sometime later!

[behisstrength]

[Motochika hears the shower running when he reaches the landing; when he steps into Mitsuhide's room and finds it empty, he knows that the one washing must be his lover. Taking it in stride, Motochika picks up one of Mitsuhide's books and settles on the bed, stretching out before he begins to read as he waits.]

ACTION ONWARDS;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide steps out of the shower a short while later, and begins to towel himself dry. His hair was pinned back, and so was completely dry; on one of his shoulderblades there is now a curling tattoo, though it is obvious that it is newly done, judging by the swelling. When that swelling goes down, it will be identical to the one Motochika has in the same place.]

[However, Mitsuhide has no intention of showing his lover quite yet. Considering the deep meaning behind doing such a thing, and the festival that approaches, it seems like a good idea to wait for 'Christmas.']

[When Mitsuhide is fully dry, he picks up the clean bandage he'd brought with him and winds it around the tattooed skin until not one hint of sea-green can be seen. That done, he puts on his fundoshi and underkimono before leaving the bathroom and walking into his bedroom.]

[The bandage might just be visible, poking above his collar.]

My Lord. [He says, in soft greeting, when he spots Motochika on the bed.]

[behisstrength]

[Motochika looks up from the page and smiles.]

Mitsuhide.

[He shuts the book and places it on top of the closest cabinet, then straightens up and swings his legs round, placing his bare feet upon the floor. He doesn't move from the bed, waiting for his lover to come closer. The bandage goes unnoticed for now.]

Ready for bed?

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide smiles himself in response.]

Yes.

[He strides across the room and takes a seat next to Motochika, then reaches behind his own head to free his ponytail from its bun.]

I have done plenty today; a long sleep would be very welcome.
