[It is precisely that yet that keeps nagging at Mitsuhide, unspoken as it was.
Again, it was not the time to be concerned with that, however. There it was, the side of Nobunaga that could only earn the brightest of smiles from the Nixstorm warlord, to such an extent that even his Lapras could notice, prompting a cheerful hum in response; the Pokemon really hated the idea of seeing its master sad or in a tight spot of any sort (and there certainly were many of those when Nobunaga was present) so knowing he was feeling better was quite a relief.
And it was exactly for the sake of his precious Pokemon that Mitsuhide's joy didn't falter, not even as Nobunaga shot another jab at him, a painful reminder of the man's true nature, as he often tried to turn a blind eye on with increasing difficulty.]
It is, indeed, a very fitting choice, my lord. [Said with a bow of his head, a good excuse to avoid eye contact-- but just for a moment. When he looks back up, his smile is a little stronger, even hopeful.] Although I daresay you would not go as far as being jealous of yourself.
[It was a joke, of course, but such a joyous occasion called for one.]
