Emberwood Old Rhythm, New Beats

It would seem her travelling to Uaine's old territory would yield... something. The woods were not as empty as she once thought but it was not the face that she had expected to see - though it made sense considering that Hiromi and Yuudai had come to just days ago. 

For a moment her eyes were lit in excitement at the mention of her name, her name! Someone called out to her, a familiar voice, but who? Who! But it all faded oh so fast. The smile upon her lips faded and shoulders did drop as the figure quickly approached, that face, it was him. 

Very few good things came out of her exile from the clan, one was her freedom, the other was she would leave behind her betrothed. The man her parents had promised to be her husband, bound to one another at birth through a promise. Did this mean she was bound to the promise still? Did her parent's decision, no, curse, find its way back to her? 

She could only hope he forgot, moved on to a new would be lover, a new possible wife than the once princess of the Izuka Clan. Surely he had lost interest by now. A flinch made her vulnerable to his lick attack, wincing and letting a sigh slip through as she finally addressed the young man. The would-have-been-prince. 

Takeshi, you came too. Try as she might, she simply couldn't be as excited to see him as she did with the other two.
