Neverwinter Forest wake up!

Boy, girl. Father, mother. Xiaoqing, Luli.

Equal, but different. She had always known Xiao to hold a different title to her, as he was a brother and mot a sister like Haoming and Nüwu. The koi had never questioned it, hadn't really thought about it until now, but it made sense to her as she considered it.

For her whole life, Huā had been everything to her. While there had been babysitters, it was the dark-faced Empress who'd always been her main provider: of milk, of warmth, of love. What she couldn't understand was how she suddenly had need of a father after all that time, when surely she would've required more from him as a tiny, defenceless infant.

Still, Luli was not one to question her mother's word. Dutiful, the ruby dipped her muzzle in agreement to what she had to say, quiet acceptance in her soft expression.
