Broken Antler Fen Tea time

Despite her previous anxieties, the woman who'd come to greet her at the boarders was very kind -- which was refreshing considering she was fearing an opposite reaction before coming here. This Maia; her goodwill briefly reminded Izumi of Lumiya from the Faerie Court. A bittersweet memory to bring up now, but a part of her was glad to have found someone that reminded her of a woman she once trusted.

Just as the crane opened her mouth to inquire more about this council of theirs, another body would fill the room. A male, she noted, who was similarly colored to Maia -- just lighter. Izu would've assumed the two were siblings of the sort, but the show of affection upon his approach made her assume otherwise. As he approached and introduced himself, he too was greeted with a gentle bow of her crown. "It is nice to meet you." The crane greeted "You are the mate Maia spoke of? She was telling me of your council."

But would he be as welcoming as Maia was? Izumi had yet to find out.
