[63] - [Video]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide is sat in a garden today, right at the edge of a large pond. His long hair is loose, his kimono a pastel blue, and he looks... happy, to a certain degree. This is despite the current dip in his general mood; keeping busy is helping with that.]

[Behind him, on the surface of said pond, a pokemon of the Lapras type is watching him curiously.]

It took some time to find a new home that was suitable for myself and my family, and more time again to make to move, but finally we are here. The extra space is quite a blessing, especially considering the recent additions to our household. [He gestures to the Lapras, who makes a cheerful sound in response and swims up as close as she can.] This is Miyuki, by the way; a picture of beauty, is she not?

[Miyuki nudges Mitsuhide with her head playfully; he turns around for a moment to stroke her neck, before returning his attention to the SFC.]

I confess that I am relieved we were able to make the move well before the New Year as I know it. There will be plenty of time to settle in and clean as necessary.

[The young samurai rubs the back of his head with his free hand, expression growing thoughtful, before he remembers himself and drops it again.]

At any rate, if anyone wishes to visit myself, my Lord Motochika, Gracia or Lord Japan, let me know and I shall give you our new address. Stay safe, my friends.

I am pleased to hear your move went smoothly.

Miyuki is quite elegant indeed.

[wavesoakedlegs]

Oh, yes.

[Mitsuhide loves to talk about his new pokemon partner; his face lights up, making that obvious.]

Elegant, beautiful, and gentle, with a strong heart. Vatheon was kind indeed, giving her to me as a companion.

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed she sounds like the perfect companion.

She does not seem small enough to fit into your stocking as a holiday gift....

[wavesoakedlegs]

She came in her pokeball. It took me a while to work out how to use it, actually.

[He takes out the pokeball that has been hidden in his clothing and shows it to Kenshin.]

This is it. 'Trainers' from the world that has these pokemon keep their companions in these devices.

[codenameninja]

I too am quite happy with our new home. *He chuckles lightly.* Especially with our additional members.

[wavesoakedlegs]

They certainly ensure our household is rarely quiet, my Lord.

[Mitsuhide smiles, amused.]

This is an energetic family.

[codenameninja]

It certainly is. *Which he thinks is good for Mitsuhide.*

I'm rather surprised that you took in a creature as well however. You did not seem to like Gracia-san's chocobo very much.

[wavesoakedlegs]

[You aren't wrong there, Japan. Mitsuhide sighs a little.]

Lord Motochika obtained one, and gave it to me.

[He shakes his head. Really, Mitsuhide thinks he knows why his lover did so, but it makes him feel rather awkward.]

Though my issues with Gracia's chocobo are more related to her attitude when it comes to the creature.

[behisstrength]

I am not convinced there's enough mess to sustain your cleaning until the New Year.

[There is teasing in his tone and expression.]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide doesn't fully register that teasing; he pouts mildly, tilting his head as he regards Motochika through the SFC feed.]

It is a new home, my Lord. There is plenty to be done.

[behisstrength]

[Oh, Mitsuhide. That pout.]

Of course. [He says placatingly. Though not without amusement.] I suppose that I have not accounted for Gracia's determination to bring Feng Huang indoors.

[wavesoakedlegs]

If she attempts to bring him indoors again, I will not hesitate to remind her why it is not allowed.

[This is something of a sore point with Mitsuhide, and he frowns.]

It is frustrating to have to go over this with her so often.

[hoasen]

[Excuse Vietnam as she gapes, that creature is amazing!]

What...what is she?

[wavesoakedlegs]

She is a Lapras; a type of pokemon.

[Mitsuhide smiles.]

Have you encountered any other pokemon before?

[hoasen]

Ah, I see! She's very beautiful indeed.

[She's not entirely sure how to greet the creature, so she bows her head]

I've encountered one other, but not many.

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Miyuki makes a cheerful sound in response. Mitsuhide laughs fondly himself.]

They are fascinating creatures indeed. Intelligent, powerful... young Red, when he was here, showed me his own Lapras. Ever since that time a part of me wanted one.

[He turns his head a little, to look at Miyuki.]

Vatheon saw fit to fulfill my wish. I am very lucky.

[amomentofsympathy]

[Nasuti was watching the feed with a bit of perplexed interest, but it wasn't until the last bit that she felt compelled to respond. With an over-enthusiastic eagerness, she switches on the feed, a look of sheer urgency on her face.]

Motochika...as in...the Motochika?!

[Video]

[wavesoakedlegs]

If you are referring to Chōsokabe Motochika, then yes.

[Mitsuhide nods, expression curious.]

It is he.

[singularjustice]

...is that a Lapras?

[ Anything else that was said goes straight in one ear and out the other. N is enamored. ]

[wavesoakedlegs]

Yes.

[Mitsuhide smiles widely. Miyuki, for her part, tries to get a proper look into the SFC from behind Mitsuhide's shoulder.]

She has effectively stolen a part of my heart already.

[singularjustice]

I can see why...she's so beautiful.

[ N just smiles happily for a moment before a thought occurs to him. ]

Oh, where did you get her? Has someone told you how to properly take care of her yet? Do you know about types and eggs and battling?

[wavesoakedlegs]

Vatheon gifted her to me during the 'Christmas' festival. She was inside a pokeball within my stocking.

[Mitsuhide looks thoughtful.]

I know only the basics. Young Red introduced me to his own Lapras, a long time ago, so I know she is of the 'ice' and 'water' types, and I know what she eats.

[caesar]

Whoa - you don't see something like that every day. [He means Miyuki, naturally. Mitsuhide-san got a sea monster.] She's definitely not your traditional Christmas present...

video;

[wavesoakedlegs]

Yet she is a most welcome one.

[Mitsuhide laughs. Miyuki trills herself.]

I could not ask for something better.

video;

[caesar]

What is she, anyway?

[Aside from some type of sea monster. Akihiko feels the need to ask, since seeing a creature like that - let alone one so gentle - is almost unbelievable.]
