[tokugawa]

[Ieyasu always had this tendency to wander away from camp.

Especially now that they were in Kai, he found less reason to be concerned about his asfety. Sure, he was always equipped nonetheless, but it's not like he expected to be confronted in any battles-

Particularly when he arrived in front of the household of the Takeda.]

Hello, men! I hope today's watch isn't too difficult for you.

[He would always greet the soldiers with a smile- they were incredibly dedicated and he wouldn't be sure where any army would be without them.

However now there was someone he was curious to see.]

I seek a peaceful audience with Sanada Yukimura- would you mind relaying that to him?

[And now he would wait.]

[ On the short list of people Sanada Yukimura would prefer not to have a peaceful audience with, Tokugawa Ieyasu was high up on it -- if not the first name. Still, he had no reasonable excuse to turn the man away. It seemed this was one thing he must suffer, as the de facto leader of the Takeda.

Soon word came to Ieyasu that Yukimura would see him. The cub had sat to wait, though he was not enthused about the prospect. ]

[tokugawa]

[And Ieyasu kind of just waltzes in, though he does bow his head respectfully once he sees Yukimura-

Then he breaks out into a bright grin.]

Good day, my friend! Thank you for agreeing to see me. I thought it would be rude if I passed by the area without so much of a word of hello.

[cubofkai]

[ ...he would have taken the rudeness. ]

Greetings, Tokugawa-dono. Is there something I can help you with?

[tokugawa]

[A blink and a tilt of his head.]

Merely a friendly visit, Sanada! I would never ask something of you when I understand that you have your hands full with Kai.

[And a smile.]

Have you been well?

[cubofkai]

Well enough, considering the circumstances.

[ It is everything he can do just to stay polite. ]

[tokugawa]

Ah... and how are those circumstances?

[He tilts his head curiously. He's forgotten to ask on the status of Kai before he left his camp.]

[cubofkai]

My lord is still ill. The land is still on the verge of chaos, due to the warring.

[tokugawa]

[...!]

How unfortunate.

Perhaps then... have you devised a strategy to try to remove the eyes of others from Kai? Now would be an ill time for an attack.

[cubofkai]

That it would. We are preparing as well as can be for such risks.

[ Not that he is willing to spare details. ]

[tokugawa]

[A solid nod.]

You need only say the word and I would rise to help you, my friend. Though I do trust that you have everything under control.

[cubofkai]

You have the Takeda's thanks.

[tokugawa]

[... ahah. A shakier grin now-

It's hard to find things to talk about.]

Have you had any luck in finding a cure for Lord Shingen's illness...?

[cubofkai]

[ Sadness flickers into Yukimura's eyes, which is at least a change from the stony stare he had been wearing. ]

...no. None seem to know of one.

[tokugawa]

... ah.

[Ieyasu's brow furrows then, a little frustrated. He could hardly just sit by and let this happen then...

So he tilts his head.]

Perhaps... we could try looking beyond our land?

There are already some foreigners who have come here [oops Sorin, oops Xavi] and Motochika always travels-- We could always ask for their assistance!

[cubofkai]

I have sent messengers out as far and wide as I could. So far I have heard nothing favorable.
