On a few matters!

[wavesoakedlegs]

Two years since you sent me to Vatheon...

It is odd, Lady Mundane, that so much time has passed. But you know I am happy to be there, do you not? There I have purpose, and family, and my dearest one alive and well. There are dark times, and trying times, but I cannot and will not complain about them. I shall gladly spend my entire life within Vatheon if it means I can remain with Lord Motochika.

I have much to smile about, my Lady.

[A pause, and... yes, a wide, radiant smile.]

I believe that you do too. So come. Smile with me.

The opportunities that you seized in these past few years have lead you here. Do not fear to keep moving onwards.

I will stand beside you, Mitsuhide, in Vatheon and beyond.

[Motochika extends a hand to Mitsuhide, as he has done on many occasions. He remembers his promise and means it still -- his conviction remains unwavering.]

Beyond?

[Mitsuhide has taken that hand as often as Motochika has offered it, and does so now; no matter how he is feeling or what is on his mind, he has placed complete trust in what the gesture means.]

[Motochika is strength, pride and confidence. For Mitsuhide, he is support and love as well.]

If anyone can make something impossible happen, it is you, Lord Motochika.

[He laughs softly.]

Your stubborn will has certainly done much for us already.

You have my mundane's congratulations, Lord Mitsuhide. And mine as well.

I know that the happiness you now enjoy is a hard-earned one - may it be lasting.
