[Mitsuhide is content, and it shows. There is a soft smile on his face and his body language suggests he is relaxed. A rare state of mind for the samurai, but it suits him.

I'll do my best to make it delicious!
[ She begins working on the grilled peaches and cream as soon as the words left her mouth.

What better way to learn about the taste and texture?

Oh, this is delicious! I understand what you mean now, father!

[He nods once, and sits back a little in his seat.]
Are there any more questions?
