Nova Peak oh the joy

Enkhtuya bowed as she arrived and immediately Kiwi's esteem rose for her monumentally.  As much as she might decry otherwise, the young aspiring queen was not complex.  Flattery and honest respect were two roads by which one could win her easily, and it seemed her new ambassador had figured this out.

Kiwi nodded approvingly and gave her an appreciative smile, but she was skeptical when she looked at Aerasha.  The girl did not look like much.  She was not hearty and, as she spoke, Kiwi's ears turned back.

Are you mocking me? she asked, and her voice took on an edge.  My name is Kiwi, and Skairipa is to be my claim.  She was shorter than most, but she lifted her head as she said this, and showed her teeth in a small scowl.  If she was mocking, and did not defer, Kiwi had no issues proving why she should hold this position.
