[There is something unusual about Mitsuhide today. Usually the young samurai wears understated colours, such as dark blue, mixed with white and black. Right now, however, he is wearing a canary yellow kimono

[Shortly after, Motochika comes to find Mitsuhide, a blue kimono folded over his arm.]

Now that you have mentioned it...

[Motochika pushes off the yellow kimono, before taking the blue one off of his shoulder and holding it out with an amused smile.]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[The yellow kimono falls on the floor. Mitsuhide looks down at it for a moment, frowning briefly, before shaking his head, smiling again and reaching out.]

I'm not sure how well this particular blue will suit me.

[Rather than taking it straight away, he runs a hand along it.]

It is well made, however.

[behisstrength]

I think very well indeed.

[He says firmly. Of course, Motochika is biased -- about more than one element in the equation.]

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide takes the kimono, gives Motochika an amused look and then turns away.]

Perhaps I ought to ask others that question as well.

[He slips the garment on and begins to fix it into place, long ponytail temporarily trapped between inner and outer layers.]

action;

[behisstrength]

[Motochika reaches out to free Mitsuhide's ponytail, then strokes his fingers through the silky hair.]

The response you get will remain the same.

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide finishes fixing the kimono into place, but doesn't turn back when he is done. Instead he remains in place, and closes his eyes.]

You say so with confidence, but I am not convinced that is so.

action;

[behisstrength]

[Motochika wraps his arms around Mitsuhide's waist from behind. A proprietary thread runs through his tone.]

You should wear blue more often.

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide leans into the embrace a little, eyes still closed.]

You'd like that, would you?

[He laughs briefly. The reasoning behind the statement do not escape him.]

I shall consider it.

action;

[behisstrength]

[Motochika rests his cheek against Mitsuhide's head, as he playfully says:]

I look forward to your decision.

action;

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide doesn't reply; he just hums briefly and covers Motochika's hands with his own. The warmth and comfort are both excellent reasons to stay exactly where he is, for the moment.]

[Though that yellow kimono will have to be picked up and put away soon. He fully intends to wear it another time. 8|]
