To be as fast as the wind is an impressive skill, she commented idly, her eyes coasting along the multi-hued stare of the other. How did you learn? She asked with a gentle sway of her tail.

And yet, when Bao had finally learned of Fen’s own status, she watched with an impassive stare as the woman corrected herself—her posture shifting like the breeze, and her words drifting from casual to…distant.

Fen held her expression at bay, the one that wanted to twist into a frown, and instead, smiled gently at the woman. You as well, Bao. She added with a dip of her head.

Formalities were one thing when the eyes of the world were upon you, but here--in this new world—did the same eyes linger?

Her smile shifted into a mischievous grin as she regarded Bao quietly, You think you can teach me? She asked, not knowing if the woman would be comfortable racing and running with the princess—but she figured it would not hurt to ask.
