[Nobunaga's eyes narrow inquisitively at Ran's words.]
A disaster, Ran?
[Nobunaga's hand moves up, now brushing over Ran's cheek, his thumb briefly stroking the corner of Ran's lips. He isn't sure what Ran is referring to, but he knows that his perfect boy is being too hard on himself as usual, even in this incarnation. And life is too short and beauty too transient for this splendid synthesis of elements to not spend every single one of his moments smiling.
... Also there are times in which Nobunaga surprises even himself when he thinks of what he would be willing to give to have Ran's smile always. But that is something no one will ever know, and should it somehow become known, nothing will remain of it in the end.]
At ease, my boy. As far as Nobunaga is concerned, your honor is safe.
