It was coincidence that Sinbad had found Hakuei here, really. He had wandered away from the festivities briefly to greet his people personally, and on his way back up to the palace had seen a flash of silken fabric and heard the chime of joyous laughter. 

“I take it you’re enjoying yourself, Your Grace?” he asked, stepping out from behind a trellis heavy with vines and angel trumpets. His smile was warm and inviting, with his arms uncrossed and extended, further showing his openness. “Sindria is honored to have you and your brother here to join us.”

Despite the brightness of torches and fireworks all around, the garden was only illuminated by pale splashes of moonlight, giving the white stone structures and Hakuei herself an ethereal glow. Even if she was foreign royalty, Sinbad could always appreciate beauty when he saw it.

          -- Decorum normally decreed she have nothing more than a pleasant smile on her face, but for that night, her smile was ear to ear and reaching her brilliant blue eyes. She couldn’t remember the last time she had felt that care free, and because of this some of her guard was down, and able to speak easily.

              “Yes! I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun, even with the Kouga clan.” Her cheeks were pink from her excitement, and it did nothing but enhance how pretty she was. Hakuei had stepped closer, head tilted up to get a better look at him - since she hadn’t been close to him since that first day when they had gotten there. (Mainly since when she had greeted him after that embarrassing incident, Kougyoku seemed to glare daggers her way - and she wasn’t one to discomfort her sister.)

                “We’re more than happy to be here for good relations. Despite what anyone says, I prefer peace over war anytime, since it causes nothing but useless death and destruction.” Many of the people at home who knew how the princess felt thought it was useless - but uniting the world through peace rather than war was far better than harming innocent human lives.

Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running from them.

I will be here for an hour at most since I work 4 pm to 12 am my time, but I will be active tomorrow and Sunday! I will be working on replies I owe three people, but if I do not get all of them done I apologize!

         -- Hakuei wasn’t a stranger to Koumei’s sleeping habits. Or lack thereof. He had been a night owl since she could remember, though probably not so much when he was younger. 

             It didn’t stop her from worrying about him, however. Once or twice she had brought in some tea (that wasn’t made by her, thankfully) to try and help with his restlessness and stress. It wasn’t easy being a military strategist, and in her own way was trying in general trying to be a help rather than a hindrance to him.

               Much like how Kouen was her favorite stepbrother (and cousin), Koumei was as well. When she was younger, of all her cousins, she seemed to gravitate to them the most, she had found. So it was, of course, natural for her to worry over him like a sister would worry over a beloved older brother. It was also her way of showing affection, caring for the ones she loved.

               “Koumei?” her hand had opened the door to his library, peeking into the door with cautious blue eyes. “I know its late but I have some dinner from the kitchens for you, and a pot of tea.” (He needn’t worry since she hadn’t cooked it herself.) 

                 “You’ve been at this all day, and I’m pretty sure you haven’t eaten much from what I have seen or heard.”
