I do not own Akatsuki no Yona.
Lili watched in awe as Yona padded around their campfire. The princess took one step away, knelt for firewood, one step back to toss it in the fire. Sidestep, wave a hand over the pot to smell the soup, spin around and just a few steps to grab a pinch of seasoning. Another spin, the steps back, and she stood at the pot again.
“It’s like a dance,” Lili breathed.
“Hm?” Yona turned to her.
Blushing, Lili looked away and resolutely didn’t pout. Ladies didn’t pout. “Nothing. Just—” her gaze fell on the rabbit Yona had skinned, prepped, and tossed in the pot “—thinking about how good you are at this. Where did you learn how to cook?”
“Ah, it’s no big deal,” Yona said. Her voice squeaked a bit, and she cleared her throat. Lili blinked and turned back to her. The princess had turned back to the pot, though, so she couldn’t see her face. But then Yona continued, “Yoon taught me. So did Zeno, once we pried the ability out of him. It’s all in the—” Yona waved her hand around “—taste, I suppose? I mean, I am working off a recipe, but sometimes it needs to be adjusted a bit. So… work off of what you know, and adjust for taste. Does that make sense?”
Yona finally turned back to Lili, but Lili wished she hadn’t. The princess looked wild backlit by the fire with her curls floating around her face, almost a flame themselves. But her passion for the subject had brought a rush of pink to her cheeks, and the fire, as wild as it was, made her edges look fuzzy and soft. She looked beautiful.
Lili coughed and tucked her face in her elbow, trying to hide the sudden rush of pink heat to her own cheeks.
“Lili!” Yona exclaimed, and suddenly there was a hand rubbing her back, and oh, that was worse.
