it has been a long while since lady ichimonji kaede attended a celebration of any kind.
as servants and companions to the empress, she ensures Tatsuhime is perfect, draped with orange petals, glittering by way of sprinkled mica.
how fast a year has flown!
how fast a life will go!
kaede bows where necessary. she watches the rite with interest, hiding the tinge of pain in her own heart.
she sees how the married pair look at one another, and turns to tatsuhime then to hide any change in her own face.
she whispers that they are witnessing love.
when it ends and the crowd convenes to one another again, she gently nudges the girl in the direction of their empress.
kaede falls back. she takes a drink and keeps her eyes upon the contingent from tianlong, straying three times for the guardian who had accompanied them.
