He was back from his training full of himself for getting so much growth in. He couldn't keep the smile off his face, it was worth the new radaku bite scars on his forearm. Never mind that he sometimes got nightmares about what would have happened if he hadn't won. He was happy to back during the Cherry Festival there will be plenty of fish for sale, and as prizes for games. It was a very local festival and secretly his favorite time of the year.

Her small theif family had traveled very far. She was tired, but part of the reason she wanted to stay here was because of its beauty. This was a place she could make an honest living in. Fruit, sea, sand, flowers, quiet, cute, with a cozy atmosphere. This place truly had it all. Plus right now there was a festival on which seemed to celebrate flowers and pretty pet fish. She was wide eyed with glee.

What better way to help him go get over the fact that he would have been shredded in his ignorance if the Alpha had not decided it'd be a good outlet to solve a certain teenager problem. That would likely never happen again. He must get better, still it had been worth the look on his instructors face when he had strode into camp wounded but with a polite if a bit sullen radaku by his side with a thick leather color. He smiled at the memory. He placed himself to be among the cherry trees position so that he could see most of them. Here he slipped a local tea and did his best to relax.

She walked about the festival, fascinated by all she could see around her. Bright pinks and vibrant oranges superimposed over blues and greens. She paused when she saw the old elegant Cherry Grove, the trees twisted and spiraled with such elegance, obviously tended by some of the best gardeners. She drifted over captivated, until at last she was among them . Her breath whispered over her lips as she exhaled. She was content and she felt like she had finally been able to recharge. There had been a lot of change in her life recently.

At first, he only saw flashes of a girl walking among the grove. He watched her lazily with half lidded eyes. It looked like she was enjoying herself, her face was open and looked sweet. She had not seen him sitting among the roots yet. It was pretty to see, a part of him felt like he was intruding. The other part of him remained curious. He didn't recognize her. Their village was small enough that Newcomers stood out sorely.

She paused when she had a feeling she was being watched. Her face closed up and she stilled. Her eyes darting hither and yon until she spotted him lurking, relaxing under a tree. Her eyes narrowed well, it appeared like he had been there first. She started around him, she didn't want to interrupt her mood any more than necessary. And this guy looked like trouble.

He looked up sharply as she moved around him, like a predator sensing prey. She seemed to be shy, but why? They were around the same age. Add to that, she kind of looked like his brother Thallassa, though her hair was covered so Ushi couldn't tell what other race featured in her parentage. He wanted to know more, but he also knew not to startle the doe before you knocked the arrow.

She hoped he would stay put she was in no mood to talk or write. She never wanted to talk. What was there to talk about when so much information came from body language alone. The steady pull of the older trees drew her closer until she pressed a hand to the twisted bark of a tree where a hollow was starting to form.

She had gone past but hadn't returned. He was so curious. Was she just browsing the trees or had she come here to do something? He rose quietly and skulked along the grassy area between the trees. He was usually less interested in most people. He crept until he found her again settling himself to hide.

This was a lovely old tree perfect for giving thanks rituals. She could feel the energy of the trees dance between her fingers. There was magic here, she smiled, opening her bag she burnt some cleansing herbs and fanned the smoke around before wrapping a scrap of red ribbon around the branches before adding a lei of blue flowers she had collected on the way there. She bowed her head and cleared her mind.

It was beautiful, this ritual, natural, peaceful. He was ever more intrigued by her odd behavior. When she turned he froze. She had crystals on her collarbone and they look just like his father's. She was like him. Her eyes were too pale for water alone and her skin too dark for ice. Besides his siblings, he hadn't seen any water ice hybrids his age. Now if only he could get close enough to pelt her with questions.

She twisted into a meditative pose and went into a very quiet place in her mind. Letting all of her feelings and thoughts pass through her and leave, everything revolved around her breathing. She became very relaxed. She focused on becoming the tree in her mind's eye. She soaked up water, breathed, gathered sunlight and harvested it with her leaves. Feeling rejuvinated. She started to sway into positions.

What on earth was she doing now? It was even more beautiful and looked like the spirits themselves move through her and eased her in transitioning from form to form, a mastery of movement. She was an artist. He was quite transfixed, so much so that he did not move when she spun towards him. She was so close he dared not breathe for fear of ruining the trance.

She rolled her spine and twisted into the last pose. Her eyes opened wondering what the four spirits wanted to show her. She was face to face with the boy from earlier. Yeah, the spirits had tattled on him. Lucky for him she was feeling benevolent after her ritual. She did adore alone time.
