[ Mitsuhide presses his lips into a thin line as his eyes grow wide, looking every bit as a child who has been caught in a lie. The corners of his pressed lips curl until a wide, wide smile breaks across his mouth. Turning his head, he starts to giggle, starts to laugh. High-pitched and manic as he steps backwards, with his arm curled around his stomach and letter still clenched in one hand, he laughs louder. ]
Yes ... yes, I am. [ When his head lifts, his eyes glow with a bright green glow. The small area around him starts to darken as a dark mist spreads out from his very body. ] I had hoped ... I wondered if you would notice. Yes, I wondered. And you did... if you hadn't, that would have been another thing... another thing entirely. [ Lifting his other hand, he shows his palm is red and blood is flowing down from his wrist. ]
... interesting. [ The shape of the stone is turning into a human. The outsides are cracking, cracking. You cannot remain a sinking stone when you see someone you wish to save. His eyes narrow, still glowing green in the bellowing black fog. Or can you? Well, that's another matter... so let us set it aside for now. ]
Ah, ah... yes...? [ Straightening, he drops his arm away from holding his side. The crumpled letter is lifted before he clenches it in his hand -- blood that should have been dried on the paper starts to flow readily onto the ground. ] Well, then, everyone... shall I read my letter?
[ From the black miasma, skulls slowly manifest covered in green flame. They chatter their teeth before flying underneath the bleeding letter to coat themself in the blood. Circling around Mitsuhide, the skulls seem to turn their empty eyesockets onto Daud. ]
Well, then... let's start with the beginning. "Greetings to you, Daud..."
[ The skulls continue to snap together until the bones of the teeth fracture into sharpened, irregular pieces. As he keeps reading his nonsensical letter in which he talks about the weather, his own health (quite poor but he is a mange-ridden dog, so that's understandable, ha-ha), his happiness in writing letters once more -- his summoned spirits dart about to slam themselves into the assassin (break the solid bone of their skull-bodies into flesh), attempt to bite into the arms and legs (with those awful jagged edges of teeth), and make pests of themselves (snapping, snapping their bone jaws together).
But ... Mitsuhide has no desire to kill the man. (Well, no, he really would like to kill him, but now just is not the time.) In truth, his game now is to bully him a little for bullying him away from Xu Shu. Just to tease him a little for being so nervous about him! There's nothing to be nervous about! Even the skulls are low-level spirits under his control. Easily dispensed of with even an unblessed blade!
What is there to be worried about?! What a worrywart! What a worrywart! A little bullying is just what Daud needs to loosen up! He's too stiff! Too stiff like stone! But a little blood and cut flesh easily loosens the flesh! Easily! Yes, that will lead us to the path of humanity and friendship! He giggles merrily. Then, you can start to laugh with me! Let's start to laugh with one another! Let's start to laugh over this little prank! ]
