[064] - [Video]

[Mitsuhide is on the island; the lighthouse, to be specific, right at the top of the abandoned building. You can see the beautiful view from it in the SFC feed. In fact, that's all you can see for a few moments, before Mitsuhide shifts the SFC so he can look into it.]

[His expression is quite relaxed, a small smile on his face. There is still something of a drained look about him too, but at least he doesn't look upset right now.]


I do enjoy it up here. The feel of the wind on my face, the smell of the sea. Every time I look to the horizon, I wish I could simply sail away.

[At that Mitsuhide blinks, sighs, and shakes his head.]

This is a frustrating curse, isn't it? I have gone hours without it affecting me, and then I admit that I want to shave my hair off and try the bald look.

[That confession? Was absolutely ridiculous, and so Mitsuhide laughs. Anyone who knows him even in passing could tell it was a lie. You don't spend years growing your hair out that length and spending all that time washing and caring for it without growing rather attached.]

That is obviously not true. Perhaps I should have avoided the SFC for the week, but locking myself away out of fear of this would do me no good. Giving up a lonely bed to sleep next to another was the best decision I ever made.

[A pause, and then, unfortunately for Mitsuhide, he blushes and chuckles awkwardly.]

Ah, good heavens. Perhaps... perhaps I ought to leave it there...

[ Though she might always act rather shy when it comes to how she looks, Mitsuhide's heartfelt words was making a large impact on Gracia's self-esteem. What did it matter if people back home didn't appreciate her hair and eye color, if they ridiculed it and if they found her unappealing? Her father would always be on her side, and he'd always find her beautiful. That was more than enough!

Gracia sighs with relief and joy. Futon returns to her side a minute later and pants as she picks him up and cuddles him, cheeks slightly flushed.

I am now. Thank you, father. You always know the right things to say.

[ ...there are instances when it's actually the opposite, especially when it involved a certain other pet of hers parading around in their house, but...that's for another time. ]

In two hours? [ She glances down at her puppy and shrugs, smiling. ] Of course I'm free! Tell me father, are we going to do something in that time? [ She sounds curious. And excited! It's easy to tell when her eyes grow wide like that, and she's leaning forward as if Mitsuhide was telling a compelling story! ]
