Many strange things happen in this place. I suppose, after the snow and the scorching heat, the idea of it raining in an underwater city should not be so odd.

I bought a parasol to deal with this weather, but it appears to be missing.

[A little pause.]

Lord Motochika, would you know anything about where it might be?

[...and a few moments later, Mitsuhide exits the apartments wearing his cloak. He hesitates for a moment before stepping out into the rain.]

Ahh...

[the young samurai brushes several hairs out of his face and looks around.]

Lord Motochika?

[wavesoakedlegs]

[It occurs to Mitsuhide that he should give Motochika some room, so he does; shifting over to the side (though avoiding the puddle), he doesn't bother to get up yet. There is no possible way to get wetter, after all.]

Regardless, I had rather hoped to avoid getting this wet, Lord Motochika.

[He drops the parasol to his side, pulls his ponytail into his hands and drains some of the excess water out of it. It probably won't make much difference, but a little is better than nothing.]

[At least it's not cold.]

Perhaps it would have been a little wiser to continue chasing you.

[behisstrength]

What's done is done.

[He sits up, and tilts his head back, letting his eyes slide shut.]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[What's done is done? Not a phrase Mitsuhide has ever been able to keep in mind, in the past. He tilts his head to the side and watches Motochika in silence for a little while.]

[So many of his decisions have cost him, so many of his choices have thrown him into despair. He has lost much, and had not been able to cope before stumbling into Vatheon and finding Motochika again, alive and well. That support was his once more, when it should have been impossible to ever have it again.]

[But...]

[Mitsuhide shakes his head. Not a thought to dwell on at the current moment.]

[The rain is rather peaceful, if he doesn't dwell on what he must look like right now. So he begins to hum softly and focus on that peace.]
