[Mentally, Oda reels. Well hell, maybe Nobunaga's the one in need of a drink.]
[Indeed. Someone from the same time.... and not.]
What threat did Ieyasu and Hideyoshi face? [His right hand man, and the two men he was hinging the future on so he could finally leave Japan. So Nobunaga left, but then... what changed? How???? Just from this morning? A few days? That didn't make sense either!]
[Should... should he tell him who he is?]
Date... [Low serious voice, because this is really damn important!]
Let's get some ice cream. [... No, but it is really important, and Masamune wouldn't do great in a bar, and even Nobunaga kind of needs to sit and think, and get some sugar. The sugar is very important.]
[Oh. But maybe he should be more respectful, since it's not like Masamune remembers him yet.]
[But how? If Nobunaga died, and then wound up here... How did that much time--]
[Grrrr.] It's like cold mochi. You'll like it. [Eyes closed.] The Date Masamune I knew would anyway. And then he'd go figure out how to improve upon it. [Look, it's really really important. More than conquering the future. That can wait. At least if they have ice cream with this conversation, they can get brain freeze and stuff, it will keep their heads cool.]
[Also... Nobunaga knows that wasn't as deferential(????) as maybe it was supposed to be. He's literally never been deferential to even his father though, so it's a headache to figure out how to start.]
[And wasn't that his favorite part of Masamune? That they were as close to equals as Nobunaga had in the whole world. He never had to worry about manners, and likewise, he never had to remind Date to cool it with the annoying formalities! If he started up with them now... It might never be the way he appreciated again.]
