kaede does not live life at the fringes as lorroakan is made to do. by way of her sex and her appearance, shinjou and masa-sama speak often to her.
and they speak often to one another. concentric circles of isolation begin to form from necessity.
this gilded hour, her own touches that of the boy she does not understand. what is his utility? he is not a fighter or even of their land. some other taste, then.
she sees that he is unhappy, for it is she who hears how they speak of him. and while their eyes hold respect for her, they do not for lorroakan. perhaps the lady even engages their banter, if only to remove a masculine spotlight from herself.
now salt falls beneath pine.
kaede bows her head at his shoulder.
"i will teach you our words, lorroakan-sama," she offers. it is not in pity nor kindness.
