Huang walked the silent path of the cherry trail to the hill that was filled with pink blossoming large tree's and found the largest one, which towered all of them with the majestic grace of the eldest tree. At least that's what Huang thought as he gazed upon it and bowed his head in respect, this same tree had been his friend and constant companion as he started to learn of himself and listened dutifully to his complaints and stories.
Moving his hand around the trunk, feeling the bark as he let the energy of age flow into him. Turning his back, he leaned on the trunk, lowering himself comfy to sit in between two large overgrown roots that he used as arm rest and begin his long story for the day.
"It has been another long day at the academy my old friend." Huang closed his eyes relaxing against the tree, "I find myself confused by the people of my classes, many of them have so many ideals of this war that we are involved in, it is hard to remain loyal to my ideas when so many others are strong enough to make me wonder why it is that i have chosen my path." Huang sighed, "And it is just not the ideas, but people have such honest manners, Such as a lady came upon me and confessed, even though she had not yet met me nor my family. It is confusing to me since i am not allowed marriage and have nothing to offer. Even so, Even my brother who has a fiancee, has been hit on by ladies and gentleman alike! And it makes it hard to protect him when he angers these people and they attack." Huang sighed again, "Tell me old friend, how is it that people are so odd?"

Sitting with his back against the sturdy trunk of the blossoming cherry tree, Kyung brushed away the fallen petals that collected on his robes. It wasn't that he disliked the faint pink petals or anything, he just didn't want to crush them. It would be a terrible end for something so beautiful.
With Nemu set on his lap, Kyung was closing his eyes for a light nap when heard a voice. And then, a recounting of a person's day with several philosophical questions thrown in. Unable to help himself, Kyung responded to the stranger's question or was it a dilemma?
"When you say that a person is odd it is in your point of view. What may be normal to you may be strange and inconceivable to him or her. The environment we grow up in influences how we think and behave, your peers merely grew up in a different surrounding from what you grew up in. And you are mistaken. People are not as honest as you would like to believe. You merely witnessed a single act of honesty."
Stroking Nemu's cool, smooth scales, Kyung paused as he considered how to continue.
"As for your brother, he must draw very unsavory characters to him. Then again, it isn't very civil to throw oneself at an engaged individual in the first place. Your brother should consider making new friends..."
A light chuckled followed afterward. From what the stranger had said, his family was probably a member of society's upper echelon. When one was a noble it became increasingly difficult to choose who your companions were without offending everyone else.

Huang jumped a bit as the tree answered his question back to him...which was something that he did not expect to happen and resisting the urge to question the voice, rolled with it. He knew another person was behind the tree, there was no way a tree could talk and Huang was not dumb.
"Ah but because i am the person that is looking upon these people and their actions then would it be odd for me not to find them odd as well?" Huang chuckled though his face was somber and thoughtful, "Ah but it is true, I am not fair to them about how they are raised when i was raised so differently."
Huang quirked his eyebrow, "Then i should not assume because one is honest that the rest are? Do you experience this kinda of honesty as well?" Huang tapped his hand deep in thought.
"Haha, My brother is a very well known heir, it must be because of that he draws so many to him. Much like the flies to honey?" Huang joked, "They do not consider his fiancee his fiancee in retrospect. Since she was born of a low class family, My father has acknowledge her as appropriate for she is a fair and strong maid, but my mother, she see's the woman as a blemish on our family and provokes other high class families to throw their children at my brother." Huang could only think of it that way.
"It is becoming increasingly hard as well, guarding my brother from these attacks while i have my studies to attend."

"No. Most tend to stay away from me, I do not have the best reputation a person can have. Back onto the topic, I have not experienced that kind of an honesty. There is no honesty in my life. The people around me mask their faces behind lies and live as hypocrites."
His words were cold and filled with scorn. It mirrored his relationship with his family, something without affection. After all, his connection to the Tae family was nothing more than a fragile string dyed crimson with the blood shared between him and his father.
"To speak ill of one's mother is to bring calamity. Thus, I will refrain from making comments about your mother. However, I will admit that I sympathize with you in your frustration in having to deal with such a secular individual. My stepmother behaves very similarly to your own mother if not worse."
Kyung had no kind words for the woman that was his stepmother. His father's marriage to her was like any other nobles', purely political. Their marriage was devoid of the flames of passion. Which, in many ways, Kyung was very thankful for.
"You speak as though the sole purpose of your life is to protect your brother. Let him fend for himself and then perhaps your mother will stop."

"That is strange, but not so at the same time. I do not draw the kind of attention my brother does as well." Huang frowned, he assumed nobody lied to him, he was always told the truth wasn't he? "I do not understand this, The people i speak to have always shown me the truth, at least that is what i have always believed." Why would anybody need to lie to Huang? Unless they we're noble conspirators and broadcaster that fact, then there was no need to lie.
Huang shivered at the other voices scorn. It was cold and tickled his skin with nerves. To fill such scorn and hate, It must be something that bother this man seriously. And Huang could feel himself relating.
"Ah Then it is common among the more regal of families." Huang nodded, this man was of the same class of him, if not a bit higher, probably a First son of his family and the heir. Huang felt no jealousy nor sympathy, Either way, This man would have it hard.
"HAHAHA." Huang laughed at the last comment, it was a kinda of burst that was followed by a snort and then a sigh, "I have been told since i was young that i was born to protect my brother, and as the third son of my family, It is a duty bound action. I have no choice in the matter." Huang said it so sadly but shook it off and sighed again.

Listening to the words coming from the other side of the tree, Kyung's brows knit together in a thin black line. This young man had a terribly naive picture of the world he was living in. The truth told by another was always distorted. Truth could only be found by forcefully dragging out the skeletons in another person's closet. "You are... a very naive person. How can you trust what they say to be the truth? Have you seen it with your own eyes what they claim?"
He kissed the top of Nemu's head affectionately. His snake was the only one that would not and could not lie to him.
"It is a trait of all Lunarians. It's just less restrained and more visibly shown amongst the nobles. Quite sick if I do say so myself. They say that to be born a noble is the worst thing that could happen. Do you know? Because, we will never experience the smaller and more significant acts of happiness that the commoners are surrounded by."
He had observed the lives of commoners before and Inden, his dead soul companion, had told of them their simple lifestyle. Theirs was one that only had to worry about survivals. Nobles were ensured survival and thus, they were extroverts. Miserable ones at that.
"... Then, a cheer to us. The poor bastards whose lives were condemned from birth and have resigned to our fates."
There was nothing different from himself and the young man on the other side.

"Naive you say?" Huang found this to be a funny way to describe it. Maybe it was because that he grew up with his parents telling him everything her heard was not a lie but indeed the truth, that he just develop the thought that everything somebody said was the truth, "No, But not everything can be seen with the eyes, nor heard through the ears, nor tasted by the tongue." Huang closed his eyes, "But yes i can understand that it is a bit naive. I too have lied many times, i just never thought of the ones near me to lie as well." Huang hung head a bit in shame. he lied, why hadn't he thought others had?
"I did not know, and it is true when it is brought forth isn't it." Huang shook his head, "Politics and breeding play such a stronger role in this world, how is it that people of lesser stock than ourselves can reach happiness while we are forced into such misery?" Huang said a bit with a bitter taste in his mouth. it would do no good to dwell on these thoughts, "But we have something most of the commoners don't and that is the means to survive. While i take my life granted, there are more unfortunate than I..." Huang couldn't think of any at the point but who knew, maybe he'd meet somebody who was worst off? The voice from the back of the tree seemed to have unfortunate life that Huang did.
"If i knew we'd be cheering something, i would have brought something more happier and fulfilling than the thought of our lives." Huang joked.
"My name is Huang-Fu of the Lee Family." Huang said suddenly.

The other did have a point. Not all things in this world were tangible or visible. But, that was why they were given intuition. "Perhaps you should open your eyes wider and guard your heart a little better." Though his tone was light, almost joking, there was no mistaking that Kyung was giving the young man an advice that he would do well to follow. Of course, it was one thing to give advice and then another for the other to follow that advice.
"While the goddess has scorned my birth, I will not allow her to oppress me. One day, I will get away from this place and live a life of my own. I will control my own future. I will not become another mindless political board piece and I hope you will do the same."
He wasn't sure what brought him to say that. Kyung was normally a very reserved individual. His thoughts were his own, even Inden, his dead soul companion did not know what was on the cobalt Lunarian's mind the majority of times. Perhaps, it was the beauty of the anonymity that came from sitting behind a tree.
"... Perhaps you have something more fulfilling than I to share."
And as the words rang out through the air, he realized how empty his existence was. He lived not because he wanted to, but because his father refused to let him go. For now, he could only dream of freedom.
"Pleased to meet you Huang-Fu. I.. cannot give you my name, but I would gladly talk with you again here if you permit in the future. I do not normally talk this much, much less with a stranger."

Huang nodded his head, he under stood the other voices words, and he was not one to shy from advice regardless of how presented it was to him. "It is true, thank you for helping me to realize this." Huang nodded gravely on his side of the tree, "Not to make a pun but it was indeed Eye opening."
Huang felt companions anger at the next statement and winced. This one was defenitly the first son of the family, to be moved to wherever his parents wanted. Placed like the pawns on the chess board.
"Then i wish you fare traveling and that the goddess finds compassion in your plight. and if not, that she at least smile upon your freedom, for she is a forgiving one." Huang nodded his head gravely, "I too hope to find myself in better situations, Freedom not so much, but a place for me to belong." Huang shook his head, that much was impossible, who needed a 3rd son trained as a assassin? Those thoughts best forgotten since he had a place, His place of Duty.
"Nothing so, Everything else is more dimmer now in the light of our lives." Huang shrugged, his life was a mess of problems and complications, nothing more fulfilling than that to be honest.
"I understand this," Huang closed his eyes and laid his head back on the trunk of the tree, "This was...nice Stranger to be able to talk someone so easily. I return here every other day if my schedule permits me too." Huang went silent now.

The corner of his lips curved upwards into a smile and he chuckled at the pun Huang made. "You are an interesting person to talk to." That was about as much of a compliment Huang was going to get from Kyung. Kyung did not compliment or flatter. He dropped comments as they were, he did not care if he dashed the hopes of young amorous men or the unrealistic dreams of the maids that worked in his estates. The facts were to be stated.
"Perhaps she will forgive the sins of my parents and I will be able to live how I want. But, I will never find a place for me to belong in this accursed city. I would have to move far, far away to a place where even visitors were rare. A true home away from home."
Stroking the top of his snake's head, Kyung continued.
"... Then, Huang, I will wait here every day at the same time in hopes that we may converse with each other again. Strange how even though we do not know each other's appearance we can open up so easily. Perhaps, it is because we do not have to worry about a confrontation in the future that might jeopardize the bond we have developed here."

Huang felt that what the other voice said was a comment, a positive one at least and blushed a bit. Interesting him? Not likely but he'd leave that for the other to keep. Pushing himself up off the tree, he stretched a bit and what possessed him from not walking around to the other side was a mystery to him.
"Ahh, then you would be lonely? If you move to far, then you will not know anyone nor be around anyone." Huang cut off his tongue, "But if that is what you truly wish, The our goddess will give you her blessings, for you are your own creature."
Huang cocked his head walking away from the tree, "Alright, from this day on i shall make it here. And yes, hopefully we can remain this way." Huang chuckled a little to himself before heading even further away. Not once did he see the other voice or figure of the boy but still he was excited for their next encounter from the back of the trees.
