𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐑 as she stood upon the threshold of her journey . no longer confined to the wondrous ink and parchment of water margin and the romance of the three kingdoms , it had been leixia’s turn to experience the outside world , just as her mother had before her . but where to go , how to start ? there were few leads to the jewel that hung upon her neck beyond the stories told in her youth . by chance , her quest had taken her east , to a village of warriors who did not seem to take kindly to strangers , with their leader chie and her daughter — who was around leixia’s age — as the only exceptions , the latter of whom , leixia had easily inserted herself into a ninja apprentice’s life with a whirlwind of awkward charm . for how long has it been since she had a peer outside of leixin or the daughters of her parents’ friends ? she had hoped they could be friends , but the adventurer noticed that there was something that the girl , 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔 , was holding back . only after she had overheard clan members talking amongst themselves did she realise exactly what that was .
❝ say , natsu , i’ve heard a few things about you ! is it true you have a demon living inside you ? well , is it true ? ❞
... many would say her tact is exceptionally lacking .
