More familiar names belonging to unfamiliar people, from worlds both extremely close and very far in nature from the one I know. I do not think it is something one could ever get completely used to.

Sometimes I wonder if-

[And at that point Mitsuhide trails off, leaving little dots of ink after his last words, because without really thinking about it he has pulled a certain sweet from the bowl that has appeared in the Koumyou's island camp. Distraction makes the magical urge to do so very hard to resist; it makes the urge to obey the heart-shaped sweet's message even harder to ignore.]

[So a few moments later, Mitsuhide adds, in a slightly less neat kind of script:]

Lord Motochika, I love you.

[...yeah, he's just going to leave it there. Whatever he was going to say beforehand has been unsurprisingly washed from his mind by sheer embarrassment.]

[Such language! Mitsuhide doesn't actually say as such, but as a prude and overly polite sort he has to remind himself that he's not in his home world anymore, and people often talk very differently from what he considers acceptable.]

It has to be a curse. It has to be. I would never share such private thoughts through my own choice alone.

[Mitsuhide sighs, deeply frustrated.]

Maybe it was the odd sweets...

[Honestly, Ragna doesn't give a damn if it was intentional or not and would consider himself done here, but the word "curse" catches his attention without fail.]

Sweets? ... You mean they're on your ship, too?

[voice]

[wavesoakedlegs]

Yes. They appeared overnight.

[voice]

[rebellions]

And you went ahead and ate them?!

[Meanwhile Ragna should really remind himself his flawless logic doesn't necessarily apply in this place.

... Nah, he'd rather yell instead.]

The hell were you thinking? No seriously, just how friggin' dumb can you be, eating crap that shows up from nowhere? It's like asking for it come bite you in the ass later!

[voice]

[wavesoakedlegs]

I have resisted the urge until now.

[Mitsuhide sighs again. He is mortified, yes, but for all his faults and issues he knows by now that this is no normal situation they are in.]

But the compulsion to take one eventually became overwhelming. Fool I may be at times, but not fool enough to eat through my desire alone.

[rebellions]

... I hope you do realize how creepy that sounds.

[Sweets... that persuade you to eat them... even when you don't want to. Yikes. It's giving him the creeps. Perhaps he should consider staying below board as long as the candy is there...]

[wavesoakedlegs]

I am aware it's unsettling, yes... but it's the truth.
