| date/time | Wednesday afternoon

| location | Outside the Tree, Mist Barrier

| rating | None

| summary | Someone has come looking for their best friend.


After two weeks with a cat hanging around the Tree, seemingly lost and hungry, today her savior will arrive!

...in the form of a little girl, no older than six. Struggling her way through the foliage outside, this small child can be seen outside the mist, alone and on a very special quest. Her determined face changes into a gasp of joy as she sees her little friend lying in the grass, safe and sound.

"Mittens!" Hurrying over and picking her cat up, the young gently strokes her precious pet's fur and nuzzles her face. The absolute happiness is easily picked out even through the haze of the mist. "I knew the faeries would protect you!"


Carefully holding on to her cat, the little girl leans down, digging around in the pockets of her cute little dress. Taking out a handful of things, she very carefully puts them down on a large piece of bark. "Thank you, fairies! I'm gonna tell my dad I was right!" Putting the piece of bark in the stream, she then giggles and waves excitedly. Then she is scooping her cat back up in her arms, almost big enough to drag on the ground but still purring in joy.

Slowly, the bark boat starts to float towards the mist, passing through into the Tree's area.

"Mitsunari, commission an artist?" Yoshitsugu laughed quietly at that. "He'd call it a pointless waste of time, to do such a thing. Any artist would be working from glances and descriptions given by either his Lord, his friends or his retainers."

He tapped his facecloth in the usual, habitual way of his, amused at the thought of an artist trying to get a work based on his friend completed. The only person in the Toyotomi harder to get a portrait of would be... well, himself. The difference there, though, was that nobody would even try with Yoshitsugu. A slim chance was better than none.

"But yes, his features are notably vulpine, in a delicate way, and his hair reddish like the coat of a fox."

...His Lord, friends, or retainers had evidently not given the artist a very accurate description, then. Ishida's portrait showed a man with ordinary black hair (and little of it, too). "Ah. Then... perhaps they were simply guessing at his appearance. Or had the wrong man described to them, because that picture is neither delicate nor red-haired." Perhaps it had been done after his death by someone wanting to show he was plain and unattractive?

"...I really am starting to think that the historians since your time have done a rather slipshod job, even accounting for bias and reinterpretation," Fuu said. "That, or you are even better than I thought at keeping a straight face."

Given the tenor of his other jokes morbid as heck she tended to doubt he was funning, however.
