Moonspear It isn't very often

Hakumele relented, with a few self-deprecating remarks. She wanted to protest, though his expression reassured her that he wasn’t being serious. Her tail waved, lips quirking as she cottoned on to the joke.

Of course, Haku, she agreed, swiveling on a slender heel. Oh! she exclaimed in the middle of her pivot. I can’t believe I never made the connection before but your name sounds a lot like ‘haiku.’ Do you know what that is?

She prattled at him the whole time as they made their way to the healing ulaq. After delivering him safely there and mutually promising to rendezvous again soon to spar, Treepie cleared her throat and orated:

Till we meet again,
To stumble but not to fall,
Good day, dear Haku.

With a swift and easy grin, she departed to let him rest.
