[076] - [Video]
[When Mitsuhide turns the feed on, he is sat on his desk. The SFC shows the inkwells and art tools resting on it, as well as the piece of parchment he is working on. When satisfied that the feed shows himself properly, Mitsuhide nods, and picks up his brush again.]
On the 26th, it is Tama's birthday... well. Gracia's birthday. That is the name the rest of you use for her, isn't it? I suppose Tama is something reserved only for my use, but I have now used it often enough that I forget, sometimes.
[He lowers a gaze and starts to work again.]
I say this so that her friends know, and so she can tell me how she might wish to celebrate. So, my girl? What is your wish?
[Mitsuhide grows silent then, but leaves the feed turned on for a few minutes until he puts his brush to the side again, examines his work and smiles softly. After waiting another few moments his gaze meets the SFC's camera again.]
You know, Vatheon, many of you are incredibly talented artists. I cannot say I often indulge in the more visual arts, but the amount of lovely paintings I have seen lately has made me want to.
[He holds the piece of parchment up for all to see. It's an ink-wash painting depicting a young lady sat on a box in the middle of a forest, a bunch of flowers in her hands; anyone who knows Gracia would recognise it as her.]
What do you think of my latest effort?

[Mitsuhide bows his head, tone of voice growing a touch formal.]
I am Akechi Mitsuhide. It is an honour to be spoken to so kindly.
no subject
[...wait. Akechi Mitsuhide? THE Akechi Mitsuhide?! For a very brief moment, Hiro's eyes widen in a spiral surprise, never thought that he'd ever meet an influential historical figure! While he's aware of the time differences and different worlds, the chances of actually meeting someone from ancient history is very low!]
A-Akechi-sama?!

[Mitsuhide looks faintly embarassed, for a moment.]
Just Mitsuhide is fine. I am no longer a Lord, of any kind.
no subject
[An impressed smile grows on Hiro, holding two open hands up a little.]
No, it truly is an honor! Even if you're no longer a Lord, you still achieved something in the past. Well, with the differences of worlds here... I'm not sure if you are the same Akechi Mitsuhide that I've studied about. Though, that person is regardless an influential figure in history for us.
In Kyoto, there is a shrine under your name... To honor your legacy.
no subject
I... don't understand.
[He tilts his head.]
Why would they seek to honour my legacy? I am a traitor...
