“Save your apologies for someone else, Sakura. They will not help you get better,” the Queen kept a firm grip on the staff she held at her side. It looked just like Elise’s though it healed nonetheless. The mage was starting to lose her patience, but then again, the redhead was a young child who was immediately pushed into war. This was what most likely made her a wreck, or at least what the equestrian presumed was the motive.

Try to keep your optimism. After all, this is only practice. Try to think pleasant thoughts as well, Sakura. There is no need to be sad. With her attempt to help calm the young princess, she focused her sunny gaze down at the child who reminded her of a cherry.

“There you go, Sakura. Just like that.” It seemed that the Priestess was starting to get the hang of things even though she did not exactly have her mind in the right place.

    In response, she merely nodded. Sakura knew that -- her constant apologies ( which at times, even she had become aware of ) didn’t always have much effect. Despite that, she only expressed herself in honesty ( so her apologies were always from the heart....even if she felt that she probably shouldn’t ). The priestess made an attempt to stand up straighter and lightened her grip on the staff slightly.

    Since the other eased up a bit, Sakura was less tense. However -- knowing very well that she was but listening to an enemy’s orders right now, she longed for the guidance of her siblings. This was the best possible thing for her to do right now, though, and perhaps....she could learn a thing or two.

    Attempting once more at waving her staff, Sakura knew she was a bit shaky but hoped Shenmei wouldn’t notice ( or acknowledge, at least ) that. She found that she did well, or at least that what she thought. Sakura turned towards Shenmei. 

    “ Did....I...did I do it correctly...? “ She could only hope that she would earn the older’s approval. Even though Sakura was obeying orders and being taught to work under Nohr, the priestess told herself she wouldn’t help them. Her siblings....they were still fighting, weren’t they?

With a playful grin upon his face, Chopper walked toward the girl, hoping that she wasn't too busy to spend some time with him. He had been alone for some time, but for whatever reason, seeing her face alone made him feel as though his boredom could be easily relieved. "Hey!" He shouted out as he gently placed his hoof upon her knee, hoping to get her attention.

    “ Hello … O-Oh! Aren’t you a cute little … . u-uh, what are you, exactly? “

“Really it’s fine. After all it was an accident so there’s no harm done. And it is partially my fault too.”

    " A-ah...if you say s-so....Arigatou, miss. Oh -- I       guess it’s rude not to introduce myself. I am       princess Sakura of Hoshido. It is an honor to       meet you....u-um, miss....? “

“I’m sorry,” She reached out to help the girl she had bumped into stand up. “are you alright?”

    “ Yes, I-I’m fine . . . I am s-so sorry for running       into you, miss! I will see that it doesn’t happen again. “

Sakura is my new fav Hoshidan, btw. I just wanna tug her in for a hug…

Behold, my crappy-doodlish Hoshido family appreciation!

And a friendly reminder to the fandom that FEIF actually has TWO royal families and even though this one doesn’t have that cool dark background, they are just as sweet and deserve just as much love as Nohr siblings.

“Sakura, I told you stand up straighter and be more elegant when you swing your staff. Simply waving it around will break it and never allow you to heal another properly. I would have thought Mikoto taught you better or even those retainers of yours,“ a jagged sigh left the prison of her lips in defeat. Why would they bother capturing Sakura if she seemed to show no promise? All she had to offer was being timid it seemed. This training for healing may take longer than she hoped.

    “ Ahh! I-I’m sorry! “ She cried out in response. Sakura gripped tightly onto her staff, looking at the ground, thinking. The priestess doesn’t know why she apologized, for one. Perhaps it just came out in the moment since there was panic. The other was clearly upset and in return also upset the younger.

    “ Let me try it again, “ Sakura continued, voice very low. Her staff skills were always praised in Hoshido, but it disappointed her immensely to have another disappointed in her ( even if they weren’t on equal terms -- why was the priestess even doing this? she wanted to stop....she wanted to stop ). She attempted to swing her staff in a more elegant matter; although due to thinking about other things...she couldn’t quite focus on that. She would rather be with her siblings right now, for sure.

Hearing her daughter call for her whilst walking away from a piece of work she was doing she smiled warmly and greeted the child back “Sakura.”

Hearing her question her smile dipped a bit as she went into thought. How long would they used to go out for and how much time she had before her next piece of work. Her smile came back when she had her answer “I can’t spend all the time in the world with you but I can spare a little to go flower picking with you Sakura.”

    Her mother seemed to have to think about it a bit, causing Sakura to feel a bit bad. So, she was indeed busy. The girl felt a small frown creeping onto her face -- although tried her hardest to hide it. It wasn’t necessary to put anymore weight on Mikoto’s shoulders after all. However, her mother said that she could spare some time, causing Sakura to smile brightly.

     “ You can? Yay! M-Mother, can we go now? “ There it was; an unusual bubbling enthusiasm from Sakura. It probably didn’t surprise Mikoto much -- the girl was always excited to go out and pick flowers. Afterword, she always made flower crowns or other crafty things with them.

      “O-Oh, that’s quite alright… Princess Sakura, right? In your honorifics… would that be Sakura-hime? Ha, Hoshido’s culture is quite interesting.” Lazward stammered, a bit caught off guard by Sakura’s appearance. The two kingdoms were now working together now, and it was very surprising how Master Kamui was able to get everyone to cooperate. Honestly, he had no qualms about working with the rival kingdom– that meant more lovely ladies being his allies. Feeling like he had an obligation to reassure her, he flashed a wide smile at her.

      “I wouldn’t mind if it happened again– if it means running into a cutie like you.” Hopefully her siblings weren’t around to hear him say that.

    The other didn’t seem angry -- and was a surprisingly welcoming presence, causing Sakura to smile for a brief period of time. It took a moment for Lazward’s next phrase to process; the girl’s expression changing immensely once more. 

    “ A-Ah -- cutie....?! “ The young girl -- flushed and.... embarrassed? -- fiddling with her hands and unable to make eye contact. She wasn’t used to compliments like......that, unless it were around her siblings or her retainers ( and Takumi’s retainers -- they seemed to enjoy being around her too! ). That is what specifically caused her to be so embarrassed. Her siblings would be furious right now, probably. They were protective of her ( which Sakura was grateful for ). But Sakura thought the comment was kind. .....Sort of. “ Th-thank you.....I guess? Though I assumed that it was never a good thing to run into somebody. “

    “ A-Ah? I’m sorry -- d-did I do something wrong? “ The question was aimed at the older woman, who seemed to be giving Sakura a questionable look.

    “ A-ah! I’m so s-sorry for nearly bumping into you, “ Sakura quickly apologized after coming to the realization she was close to running into somebody whilst turning a corner. To be honest, she wasn’t used to having so many people around...! Things weren’t the same as when it was when she was only around Hoshido. Truthfully, however, the Nohrians weren’t that bad of company. But the girl was still overwhelmed. 

    “ You’re Lazward-san, right? I-It won’t happen again, I promise. “

    “ Y-You’re hair....it’s so pretty, “ Sakura’s thoughts mused aloud. She had a weak side for pink, purple, and light colors in general. However, she quickly retracted after her own statement. The girl didn’t always like drawing much attention to herself. 

    “ Oh! I-I’m sorry, “ She quickly apologized, offering a smile after a brief moment. This person was unfamiliar to Sakura -- but she immediately suspected it was one of her new Nohrian allies.
