[ YEAH OKAY. IT'S NOT LIKE HE WANTED TO GET PETTY EVEN WITH MASAMUNE FOR ONCE OR ANYTHING!!!
However, in spite of this turn of events, Yukimura isn't the first nor last to notice the communicable sense of camaraderie going on the site grounds. It's certainly something to marvel at. Especially for someone like them who spent either most of their time in the fields fighting or submerged in some political power play plot. It's Keiji's dream come to light, and even though it was short-term, to see it finally in motion kindled something inside him and seared inside his stomach in a oddly soothing way. ]
It is. I never thought I would see this day become possible.
[ Which is – for the most part, true and saying a lot. For many different reasons. One of them pertaining to his role as general and accepting the likelihood of dying mid-combat one day. His fate left unknown when the his life thread would be snipped, or whether he'd live long enough to see this country reach that stretch where a new era didn't divide regions with war-stricken tragedies or poverty. While a small part of him admits to another holding his breath when Oyakata-sama mentioned inviting the young upstart from Oshu and was approaching talks of temporary alliances, he had expected Masamune to flat out refuse out of dumb dragon pride alone.
But lo and behold, here he is and it seemed as if the party flourished even more so by his presence being here. His natural charisma is instantly put to work and it's one of the few attributes Yukimura silently wishes he could one day embodied for himself, but that's just wishful thinking. Despite his hurdles, he still had to acknowledge he had a long way to go before he truly felt at peace to call himself Masamune's rival. At least outwardly because he all but felt it on the inside. ]
As it were, had it not been for overseeing our earlier obstacles and exceeding past them, I would have contended this point with you with no resolution. [ His attention seems more heavily fixated on the crowds conversing beyond them. ] But now that I have been able to witness you grow more confident and steadfast from our first encounter, I would be thrilled to see that day come if this is what you promise.
[ Shortly after, he gestures towards the crowds with his chin before taking another bite out his zundamochi. While he's not entirely sold on seeing this chaotic dragon as the face of their country, for this though... he can happily manage into playing with semi-rhetoric. ]
And I would become even more thrilled to face you for one last time, before retiring my spears once and for all.
[ Yes, he thinks, this would be a suitable way to conclude things once and for all in this scenario. ]
