[ One day, Nobunaga's Carrier will cough up a gift: A tankard, carved from a whole dragon's tooth, the size of Nobunaga forearm. It's not elaborate, more function than form, the polished silver hinge on cap and the Oda mokkou the only decorations, but some would argue that dragon ivory being hollowed out and turned into a big drinking mug is inherently excessive.

[This earns him a handwritten response, written not just neatly but in a way that's quite pleasing to look at. It's delivered via her carrier.]
Kojirou!
What a wonderful gift. Did you know? I had a skull cup once. It was quite useless, as everything leaked from the eye sockets. Despite that, I cherished it. In this world, your gift will be considered its equal. I will make every effort to use it, despite its unwieldy shape. Not to worry, not to worry, I'll definitely find a way.
My birthday is soon, you know? I don't know if your timing is intentional... But tell me yours so I might repay the favour.
Not all parts of a dragon are equally magical. Some of their fangs are just fangs. But I don't believe in wasting kills. It would be most disrespectful to the fallen. So I carved them into something useful, or at least decorative, while I was out watching the flowers and the moon.
Please feel free to take it as a celebration of your birth, though I was not aware of the date. But I have no memory of my own. A wanderer with no name has no need to have his birth and death recorded. There is no need for pity, I don't mind. I simply take each new year as it comes.
- Sasaki Kojirou
P.S. Poetry cannot be rushed. I will send them if I think of them.
That isn't really helpful, you know. You should pick one. Otherwise you can share mine...
"If you ever want to conquer everything beneath the heavens once more, I might have it in me to help you." You're by no means my subordinate, of course...but what you said has us as something more than nothing. So you don't have a choice. That's simply how it is.
Then it seems I have no choice but to choose one. The first day of the second month shall be when I was born. In a way, that is the truth.

I knew you'd see things my way.
I'll mark the date, then.
Look forward to it.
