The Heartwood I can look back,

The pretty girl comes closer, and of course Huā has no protest for that, tail wagging easily behind her without even thinking about it. Perhaps Reiko thought Huā pretty because of her markings- but the empress saw quite the opposite. How gorgeous was this girl with her clean and unblemished fur! Like the light of heaven itself. But Reiko began to speak again, and Huā was snapped out of her mindless wonder. 

She asks her about honey, and Huā's gaze flickers back to the object and its busy inhabitants. Huh-nee? Um, no, I never have it... what is that? She wonders with the curiosity of a child, wide eyes looking to Reiko for an answer. The girl speaks of wings too, and Huā's expression takes on a little surprise. Those little thing have wing? Like a bird? She giggles, a smile forming on her maw.
