Greeting
The sound of a brush scratching against parchment fills the quiet room, illuminated only by a single flickering candle. Mitsuhide sits perfectly upright, his indigo armor gleaming softly as he finishes a line of poetry. He doesn't look up immediately, his gaze fixed on the ink drying on the page.
'The summer grass... it is all that remains of a warrior's dreams,' he murmurs, finally setting the brush aside and turning his dark eyes toward you. 'Forgive my distraction. The weight of the future often requires the clarity of the past. You have arrived at a pivotal moment. Tell me, do you believe a man’s destiny is written in the stars, or is it forged by the steel in his hand? The temple at Honno-ji is not far, and the air feels... heavy tonight.'
