[Nasuti is no longer in the Marauder's House. Not being one to typically encourage conflict (or perhaps she simply hates confrontation), she made a point to avoid James Potter whenever she could manage, so they hadn't really had a chance to butt heads in any sense. Hopefully now that she's found a place of her own, Shin's life with Sirius could be a little more peaceful.

But even though the apartment was fully furnished, it was still empty and cold, as far as Nasuti was concerned. It lacked character pieces, things that reflected her own taste.

This was a non-issue back home. Her grandfather's estate was practically an archive for Sengoku era artifacts. Here, she had to start from scratch...and she probably couldn't rely on the charm on antiques here.]

So...how does one go about gaining employment here, exactly?

Ah... I apologise. It's fine, my Lady. Please don't worry.

[He takes a moment to breathe, and speaks a little more evenly when he talks next. This is a positive reaction to his name, all things considered.]

Yes. They appeared a few months ago, and I took up the job of running them. When Lord Yukimura arrived I offered him a position there too; he was happy to accept, being the fine horseman that he is. We share the work now, along with a few of the local people.

No apologies necessary, it was entirely my...[She...she should've recognized him, right? Some 'expert' she is...]

Is...are the stables open for visitation? [She wasn't about to invite herself someplace she wasn't welcome, but she couldn't pass up a chance to meet these Sengoku legends!]

What are the horses for, I wonder..?

Yes, of course. We run them for the good of everyone in Vatheon.

[He bows his head politely.]

I am not sure there is a reason beyond entertainment, but... who knows, in this place?

[There really was little to be certain about, in a place that seemed to possess endless power. Mitsuhide has worried over that fact plenty of times.]

[But now is not a moment to dwell on it.]

If you wish for lessons or guidance with the horses at all, at any point, do let me know... and if you are interested in helping Lord Motochika and myself at all, let me know about that as well and I shall arrange a meeting.

[Having grown up in France, Nasuti had her own fair share of exposure to horses, though she had only ridden them casually. No one needed to know that, though.

And any opportunity to study them at all--assist them, even--! This was an opportunity she couldn't pass up!]

R-right! I would like to take you up on all of your offers, if you'd be willing..! [That wasn't greedy, was it?]

The library job, cataloging...and...[She suddenly felt bashful, she was asking too much, wasn't she?]

I am willing. [He says politely, voice gaining a note of softness.] I shall talk to Lord Motochika shortly; he will be pleased. Though I must warn you, he will almost certainly start to show-off when he knows you are aware of his achievements.

[Mitsuhide laughs quietly then, hoping a little humour will help her to calm down. Really, he clearly had no reason to get embarassed himself.]

Modesty is not one of his many qualities.

[With a tilt of the head, Mitsuhide hums quietly as he thinks things through. Right. First things first.]

I think it would be best to start with getting you that job, if you wish?

[Nasuti laughed. That was some kind of warning.] Unless it troubles you, I'm perfectly happy to encourage him. [Her grandfather would've given his left leg to see Motochika in action, no doubt.]

I am grateful for any assistance you'd be willing to offer. I'll follow your lead.

It is no trouble to me. [He sounds extremely fond as well as amused.] I have known him since I was a boy and he Himewakako, and he has never been any different. I would be concerned, if he suddenly became modest.

[A firm nod. Right.]

Very well, my Lady. I will check with the head librarian and then let you know when we can meet with her to arrange your working hours.

[Nasuti brightly smiles and laughs.] It sounds like you have a very pleasant life with him. [She waves a hand gently.]

And please, I am not a 'Lady.' [At least, she doesn't think so...] My name's Nasuti Yagyu.

I do.

[He looks embarassed for a moment at her correction, but then shakes his head and smiles again.]

Ah... as you wish, then, Nasuti. In return, please call me Mitsuhide.

Mitsuhide-san! [She bows a bit, which appears somewhat strange on a video feed.] I look forward to working with you from here on out. Please let me know when would be best to meet.

I will be certain to do so; hopefully, it will not take more than a couple of days for the proper arrangements to be made.

[He bows his head himself, smile growing wider.]

Until then, stay well, and feel free to come to the stables at any time.

I certainly will! [But in a day or two. Nothing's worse than being too eager. She just had to organize her thoughts and wrap her mind around this whole thing...]
