Blacktail Deer Plateau of star & sea

Soon all the sisters were submitting, as the frightening wives stood over them. Never had Huā imagined, that day on the beach, that she would've ever seen that woman again- nor that she could end up in this sort of dilemma with her. 

Ying takes the reigns as usual, having the social skill to navigate the conversation. Had it been Huā, she might've been a tad more explosive. When Ying claims Rusalka was family, whether or not it was true for the nuvujak, Huā could only think what a lie! Though her face remained poker, in her mind she cackled. Erzulie was a complete stranger, and Rosalyn was barely more than an accquantince. The only Rusalkan she'd dare to call family was Aningan- and that was only because she saw him something like a brother in law. 

Ying's words were perfect to Huā, but apparently they weren't enough for this snarling bitch. Throwing out further accusations, she would not quit. And that accent! She was just as bad at the common language as Huā. 

The woman said that Huā would only obey Ying. It had been true, of course- she had waited for her sister's signal to submit- but now she thought how picky this woman was. She was already bowing as if the woman was an empress, what more could she desire? 

Rusalka my family too. I owe you people my life, me and my sisters not survive winter without you. I sorry... I never mean be disrespectful. Comes Huā's quiet and trembling voice, directed to Erzulie, though her eyes remained glued to her paws. It was a lie, of course.
