"Hello Shougetsu," Nobunaga didn't even look up from his soak in the spring at first. Until it slowly sank in. "Eh?" he looked around, figuring the tiger cub must be someone's familiar, not the shougetsu he actually knew! Besides, Date Masamune was almost definitely going to be the last one to show up, he's always late! Nobunaga tickled under the tiger cub's chin and mused that it definitely seemed like Shougetsu. Not that he had THAT much experience with tiger cubs that he could say for certain he could tell the difference! He just counts the stripes and narrows his eyes. It does seem a little unlikely for a coincidence!

"Masamune you around here somewhere?!" He will tackle and half drown his stupid best friend ally.
