Wheeling Gull Isle out of the corner of my eye

Maegi pronounced them well, and Huā nodded with a slight upturn at the corners of her lips. Dark ears twitched as she listened to the woman explain her own past circumstance. A holy site... did you have gods, too? Huā wondered with real interest, seaglass eyes flashing with a glimmer of childlike curiosity. The next question caused her to stiffen awkwardly for just a moment, before she shook off her discomfort in the form of a sorry little nod. Yes...

It makes it hard. The empress sighed candidly, and then wondered if she had overshared too much. Sorry, Huā winced with an apologetic smile, flattening her ears against her head.
