Hiyorieese

Shiyaorieese and Hiyorieese debate what kind of Japanese fluency is actually worth building.

Zyneese finally wins Trial of Style after a suspiciously helpful hooded stranger intervenes.

Yreneese arrives at Shadowlily. The warband follows. Then the hooded figure finally shows her face and offers Giselleese a more dangerous future for everything Shadowlily has begun.

Shiyaorieese corrects Reyneese's Japanese even when Reyneese isn't there. Hiyorieese notices what that means.

She tends things. She always has. The things she tends now are different. The attention is the same.

Shiyaorieese and Hiyorieese slip into Japanese because Common is too blunt for certain truths.
