[Again that insight, that way of seeing people as they are and slicing right into the issue without a worry; were he not so disturbed a man Mitsuhide would probably make an excellent strategist, wouldn't he? That's not helpful right now, of course. Xu Shu hesitates, something sad and unsure crossing his features, before he chooses not to respond. How can he? That lack of self-esteem, the feeling of little worth, is so deep a problem that it's not so easily fixed with words.]

[It's easier to focus on what comes. The entire 'display' is watched with wide eyes, his gaze following the birds, and when 'Tenkai' suggests they go Xu Shu finally finds his voice again.]

Umm, you have interesting friends.

[Did Mitsuhide really just hold a conversation with ravens? The world is a fascinating place filled with many odd powers, it's true, so it can't be discounted... and they had certainly acted like they were responding. That doesn't make it any less strange, though, and Xu Shu really doesn't want to think too hard about the 'eat well' comment. The 'another face' one, though, is tucked away into his thoughts to dwell on later.]

[For now, well. It looks like he's going hunting.]

If you like. I'm not sure how quickly I can catch a rabbit, and it's been a while, but I can certainly manage in the right spot.

[It's a decent-ish time of day for it, heading into late afternoon, though the methods of hunting they'll have will be somewhat limited as things stand. Traps? Something to think on while they walk. It might not actually take less time to get their food this way but if it keeps Mitsuhide occupied that's fine, right?]

There's probably edible mushrooms around as well.
