[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. Currently he is sat in the living room of his home, having just come back from a shopping errand.]I know some within Vatheon celebrated it weeks ago, but the day I and my

[Sometime later, Mitsuhide is hard at work. No break yet; he's far too focused on his tasks. Their home is never really a mess, but he's determined that they should welcome in the New Year with it being absolutely perfect. His clothing is simple, his hair is bound into a long plait, and he hums occasionally as he moves through the house.]

[At this point his own room and the kitchen are practically sparkling, and perfectly organised. His current area of attack is the living room.]

Not enough yet...

[That brings about nice feelings. Mitsuhide remains perfectly still, appreciating it, before he speaks again.]

...and what if I choose to resist you?

[He is teasing, of course... and perhaps offering a challenge as well.]

[Motochika smirks against Mitsuhide's wrist, then lets go, before placing both hands on Mitsuhide's hips and leaning in, his gaze challenging in turn. He speaks lowly, beside Mitsuhide's ear.]

Do you have the spirit to resist me, Mitsuhide?

[Mitsuhide tenses a little, and closes his eyes. That was turned back at him very quickly. Perhaps he should have expected it. The samurai lets both hands drop to his side.]

[After a moment he opens his eyes again and replies calmly.]

I could hardly say no to your question, my Lord.

[Not that he can say yes and be certain of it, either.]

[Motochika slides his own eyes shut, and draws back.]

Then say yes.

...I can't say that either.

[He starts to look embarassed now, and turns his head away slightly.]

[Motochika opens his eyes, in time to see Mitsuhide look away. He smiles softly -- though with an undeniably pleased undercurrent, courtesy of the admission.]

Good.

If you choose to resist... [Motochika lets one hand fall back to his side.] I will let you return to work.

[He inclines his chin a fraction, a lively glint to his eyes.]

But only for the time being.

[After a moment Mitsuhide looks at Motochika again, though there is the slightest flush on his cheeks.]

Only for the time being?

[He looks amused.]

Very well. I shall work quickly and diligently, then, so I can be sure it is done before you distract me again.

[Mitsuhide kisses Motochika once more, lightly and briefly, before pulling away, picking up the empty cups and disposing of them. That done, he leaves the kitchen and heads back into the living room. There's still plenty to get done, after all.]
