something was happening.
normally the daily bustle of tianlong was nothing worth paying particular attention to. she had learned the routine, and the only thing of note was when something new was added- more tutoring, most often. but when everyone made such a fuss- such that healers and empress alike were gone to attend- she found herself intrigued.
it was not a lengthy walk. she hardly needed to trace her mother's steps; they were sequestered near to where she and her siblings lived, and she did not need a careful ear to pick up the bustle. the voices were mostly familiar; the tenor concerned, though she could not make out the words.
hmm. her pace picked up faster.
near to the den, someone sat outside; a someone not much larger than her. as shuyan watched, she sunk to her belly and tucked her nose under a paw. amidst many introductions to golden kin, the young dragon had not seen her before- if she had been present in the sea of faces at the wedding, or their announcement, she did not recall.
but perhaps she knew more about what was going on. a near-reptilian prowl carried the girl closer, head canted to the side expectantly as she awaited an explanation.
