Her resolve is sorely tested as they reach the end of the trials, when she can feel the sword being forged to near-perfection, when the steel in Utena's soul is folded nearly a hundred times over, and she still looks at her like that. When even the slightest glance from her seems like a whispering caress, a promise. When her name, tumbled casually from Utena's lips, have the same ring as a psalm from a supplicant

"I don't get it," Mai says, when they finally get time enough to sit down, take a breather, and have tea together. "Why join a team of people in identical make-up when you just finished running away from being a matched set?"
The tea is jasmine with an oolong base, dark and fragrant and sweetened with tiny crystals of golden-brown sugar. She takes a sip and tries to think of the response. It's difficult only because she doesn't know how to explain it to herself, the words to the concepts beyond her grasp. She's not the one who's good with words.
It's not that the identical costumes and matching make-up weren't initially off-putting, despite their foreign, almost exotic charm. It's that this group, this strange, seamless group, have stumbled upon individuality in perfect unison. That difference between one unified whole and a group of people who just agreed to pull in the same direction.
And she doesn't know if Mai knows this, or even Azula. (she thinks azula does, azula knew all there was to know about ty lee, who was never closed

These are dangerous times, yes, even in Kaeleer. Even here in the Shadow Realm, they hear of their sisters and brothers, they see their victims in the flood of people fleeing the horror. And she occasionally hears the trickle of rumors, words she can put only to feelings. Queen speak. A language as old as the land. As well it should be, for what happens above the soil will no doubt affect it, and Sylvia can feel pain as well as anyone attuned to it may.
She is young yet, too young to have her Virgin Night and too young to form a court, but she can feel power in her bones. Sylvia will one day rule Halaway, and when she does, she swears it will stand in the shadow of no other power, male or female.

Hinata has a small herbal garden, just inside the house grounds and kept as well as she can manage. As far as she knows, she does a modestly decent job at garden upkeep. At least, none of the plants die on her, and she is quite thorough and careful with their care. From an outside observer's point of view, she does a splendid job. Hinata has a delicate touch and genuine interest in the plants' welfare, a 'green thumb'. Her flowers bloom and spread without threatening to choke each other out, her herbs neatly coexist side by side in carefully planned rows
