There were more questions to ask, but Ying kept her curiousity to herself. Hydra's story was interesting enough with the details already given. Had it been a forbidden love? The phrasing implied that he'd been made to leave by an outside force, something that would have liked to see them apart. Ying remembered this as she made a reminder to ask more about the topic at a later meeting.

The majority of conversation had pertained to Hydra. Ying didn't mind, but thought that she ought to also share. What was there to say?

In my first home, she explained, women are marrying young and having a family. This was the natural order of things, for a woman to abandon ambitions for her mate. Ying was unwilling to subscribe to this belief in its entirety; she had worked too long and for too much to simply leave everything behind. I want to do this but I am scared that no one I meet can do this with me. The men were either unable to meet her standards or unwilling to commit. Either way, Ying was always left without options.

She thought about Hua and Mei, and wondered if they'd been having similar thoughts. Did either sister plan to seed their wombs this season? Ying didn't know of any mated family members and doubted that this would have been the case if there was a new couple. I have things I do, like working. Men do not like that I am working a lot, or that I am very good at my work. There were some men who felt intimidated by her pride. Ying didn't mind; an insecure man was unfit to be a provider. I say to my cousin, Kun Kun, I will be a single woman forever, but I pray this will not happen.
