Yue listened to Feä Mindalië 's assessment which was admittedly much more diplomatic than her guess had been. This the Rovani boy confirmed. She did vaguely wonder what made the Rovani second class citizens enough for him to worry it would be reason enough to bar his entry, then again it didn't...
Yuebing carefully considered her question.
It had been such a trivial concern to her. A fact of life that one learned to navigate quickly. Had they ever said anything about it? Had she ever asked?
"I don't suppose they ever commented on it. I had more pressing concerns at the time than the...
The flinch didn't go unnoticed. Yue almost felt guilty for very clearly shoveling up the past.
Yet she could tell especially from Svenia Albrecht 's reaction that had she not then they would simply have danced around the an unknown grief for who knows how long.
Yue was well attuned to...
Feä Mindalië 's question seemed apt enough. Yuebing also wondered if it was permissible. Even if this gala was filled with polite chatter and forced smiles it was only one night. Living side by side was another.
She watched the man's deflated reaction with mild confusion blooming across her...
"It is home." Yue replied evenly. She wasn't shaken by Svenia's opinion though perhaps she had hoped there might be a layer of resilience beneath her furtive eyes.
It seemed if that was true it wasn't so easily uncovered.
She closed her eyes and sighed before turning to look out of the window...
It didn't take some psychic sense to tell Fea was in near fight or flight over their new conversation partners.
What to do. Neither the Elf nor the woman, she now knew to be called Vittoria, seemed pleased with this arrangement. So no matter how friendly this Killien attempted to be Yue could...
Yue turned her gaze to meet the Anirians. The man was oddly friendly in tone and the woman, she didn't seem to have any intentions of being in sorts. Was he....her servant?
She wasn't sure what there was to be out of sorts about. One could hardly get lost in an art gallery. Ah well, making idle...
There was a slight pause as Yue gauged the sincerity of the Elf's naive question. She hadn't considered that the girl might literally have been oblivious. Her only reference for Elves so far being Aiko who seemed well versed in the notions of polite society.
Yue gave her a small frown. If it...
Yuebing had actually been quite looking forward to this event. She liked looking at beautiful things. Especially if they were crafted with extreme care.
She dropped several subtle( almost certainly too subtle) hints to her roommate Svenia Albrecht that she thought the girl should attend.
Or...
Yuebing looked up from the book with a carefully practiced nonchalance. "Everyone walks diverging paths, in much the way rivers diverge and return to the ocean. "
She replied evasively
" That they a different is an illusion formed by the rocks the water lay in. People are like that. Bending...
It hadn't even crossed Yue's mind this might be an odd thing to mention. It was a quirk of her demeanor to have the words come out so dry and dire. In truth it was a reflex to say such things as it was a common factious phrasing the daughters of the pagoda used. It was also not necessarily...
Yue pondered Aiko 's flowers and Atticus reading.
"Strong scents could be a sign of failure......." She half murmured in her musing "Would a Maester stoop to giving students an imperfect batch on purpose?"
She sipped a bit more of the tea with a frown. re-constructing an unknown was a truly...
It was lucky that Yue was well accustomed to all manner of 'roommate noises'. Most of the girls in the pagoda had been raised communally until they entered specialized training or apprenticeship. Yue's case that too had led to life in a temple which had only broadened her tolerance. Though she...
It was an early morning. No, it was still night. Only just. Yue slowly opened her eyes with a resigned expression as she was pulled from sleep.
She knew what had woken her without stirring from her bed. A whimpering wail broke the silence muttered pleas following incoherent in its wake.
Yue sat...
Yue sneezed and echoed Aiko's sigh.
Every time it seemed they were on the cusp of getting some resolution it unraveled another layer of this moldy onion.
She followed close behind her elven classmate. They might as well see how far this disgusting rabbit hole goes. Whatever next unlucky being...
