Bright, cold sunlight shines down on the dusty street; it hasn't been long since the end of winter, and the last remnants of it are lingering, though the snow is gone. There are buildings that most people would recognize as Chinese in style, though barely more than the rooftops stand out behind the high, thick walls

Action?

[He quirks an eyebrow at the scene before him, the looks of the people before him looking more like those who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Only with the exception that they didn't have the same coniving look that his family members did. Huey's head turns as he hears Shushou's voice.]

There's always something one can do.

[And she hears him too, and turns around to where the voice comes from. Her expression has something exasperated to it.]

I can't! I want to give them food, everyone says "don't, they'll think you look down on them". I want to give them cloth, everyone says the same.

[He crosses his arms and gives her a stare of disbelief.]
Who filled your head with such idiocy exactly?

Action

[She just huffs and fold her arms, too.]

My parents, my elders.

Riiighhtt, because they always know the right way, even when the status quo is obviously wrong.

It's not that I approve, but how am I to go against them?

The only way would be to-- [And there she stops.]

Action

[Huey looks a little too smug as he begins to circle around the girl.]

Rebel against their teachings.

I'm going to! I think I'm going to.

I'm running away.

Action

[child_radical]

[He stops. Her statement of talking about how she was going to run away was something he wasn't expecting.]

Whoah, I didn't say anything about running away.

Action

[fledglingofkyou]

I have to, in order to do really do something about this.

[While she talks, her gaze is mostly on the street in front of them, only from time to time wandering over to Huey.]

Action

[child_radical]

Do you really think that this is a good idea? You look like you can barely last five hours on your own!

[What was it with the majority of the females that he interacted with either being stubborn, motherly, or teases?]

I'll make it somehow. If I really am the future Empress, the Heavenly King won't allow anything to hurt me.

Action

[child_radical]

I fail to see how that will make sure you'll remain safe.

Action

[A smirk plays on her lips. This is familiar territory.]

Isn't it obvious? The Heavenly King chooses a king, so after he's gone to such lengths, wouldn't he want to make sure said king doesn't die on the way?
