[It starts off as a voice post. Mitsuhide sounds... thoughtful. There's a lot on his mind, both negative and positive.]

Foolish or not... the prospect of seeing the sunlight again is appealing. A simple pleasure back home, one I barely even thought about before.

[He hums briefly.]It makes me think of one of the rare moments of peace I experienced

...It'd be nice to start sunbathing again. When I was younger I'd used to climb up onto this big rock in the ocean and just chill until a ship came into view. After that I'd just dive back under until it disappeared.

[A beat.]

You do carvings too?

[wavesoakedlegs]

You would...

[He seems a little confused then, but shakes his head. There are many kind of people in Vatheon, after all. Mitsuhide does not finish the sentence, and instead focuses on the question he has been asked.]

That's right. There is plenty of time to use up within Vatheon, after all... focusing my energy into a craft seemed wise. It's taking a long time to get to grips with it fully, but I think I have progressed well so far.

[ninthserenade]

[He grins.]

'Course I would.

Ever try working with coral? It's a pain in the neck but it's worth it when you get the final results.

[wavesoakedlegs]

I've not.

[His expresion turns thoughtful though.]

That sounds like a challenge... it would certainly be possible to make some very beautiful items with it... I wonder...

[ A light chuckle sounds across voice before Ran switches his video on. ]

That sounds very enjoyable, even if you did get pushed in.

Your carvings are beautiful.

[wavesoakedlegs]

It was.

[Mitsuhide's voice softens then.]

The culprit believed he was doing it for my own good, after all... and I got him back later.

[At the second comment he pauses for a moment, and then bows his head respectfully. There is a touch of embarassment in his tone when he speaks next.]

You are most kind. I am very far from being a master of my craft, but it feels good to know that people like them.

[threeofthree]

Perhaps he was right, if you had fun.

[ Ran smiles, shaking his head. ]

Kindness has nothing to do with it; they are quite good. Though what is the yellow one? I've not seen something like that before.

[video]

[wavesoakedlegs]

I could never tell him that, though.

[Mitsuhide's laugh is warm and affectionate.]

It's called a 'Pikachu.' It is a kind of 'Pokemon,' an unusual sort of creature from the world of another captive here by the name of Red. I have seen one other sort as well, called a 'Lapras.'

[A thoughtful hum. Not for the first time he wonders if it is at all possible for one to move between worlds; considering their existence in Vatheon, there must be a way. Not that he ever expects to know what it is, but the thought of seeing Red's world, and all the other ones he's heard about, is appealing.]

[There's nothing for him in his own home world, after all.]

voice;

[behisstrength]

You had no reason to shy away from the water.

voice;

[wavesoakedlegs]

In your opinion.

[Mitsuhide sounds faintly amused.]

I am not the strongest swimmer, Lord Motochika. You cannot blame me for having felt a little uncertain about sea swimming.

voice;

[behisstrength]

[Motochika laughs.]

We would not have allowed you to drown.

voice;

[wavesoakedlegs]

I am aware of that. But it does not justify you pushing me in.

[He laughs as well, briefly.]

If we ever find ourselves in that situation again I shall know better than to stay near the edge of the boat.
