[Perhaps you noticed it -- the moment the music on the air abruptly stopped.
Perhaps you saw the angry unicorn pass swift as the wind on its return to its lair, and caught a glimpse of a tiara and billowing sleeves: the flash of sea-green jewels; the shimmer of fine garments composed of pearlescent scales.
Perhaps you merely find the shamisen and bachi lying in the blooming wildflowers where they fell from the princess' grip.
Perhaps not. Regardless...
Beyond the monsters in the heart of the unicorn's lair, well and truly held captive, Motochika waits.
None too happy about this turn of events, he has already tried to rescue himself and failed. Yet there is dizzying magic in the air preventing his escape; all he has managed to do is twist his ankle and get nipped, solidifying the image of a helpless princess.
So Motochika sits, placid but for the defiant angle of his chin, and listens keenly for sounds of approach. He watches, steeling his patience against his injured pride, the indignity of his circumstances.
He does not like to be in need of rescue, but he has no choice.]
