(Day 6, EN) In a Mirror, Darkly (Expecting)

[Moto Khulun]

"I am being prepared, there is a difference," she says.

"It is what it is."

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kitakuhime imagines herself strangling Khulun like the stories of Moto Omeru and his son, Bartu.

"I won't indulge this insanity." The Otaku bows to Butaj and Khulun before whistling to Gekko for a ride.

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun sighs and watches her go before muttering, "And they say I'm stubborn. Like donkey she is."

[Moto Butaj]

Butaj's heart dies a little at the scene. The leaders he cares for so much, he trusts so much, in an open and aggravating discord. It almost squeezes tears from his eyes. Crestfallen, he bids Kitaku farewell, then turns to Khulun.

"Whatever it is, was there really no way for you two to try to agree?"

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Khulun sighs and watches her go before muttering, "And they say I'm stubborn. Like donkey she is."

She casts a final disapproving glance to Khulun before departing. Once she turns away from her path, Kitakuhime pouts to herself.

[Moto Khulun]

She frowns and says, "It will pass, I still love her dearly."

[Moto Butaj]

"Butaj loves you both. Please keep trying to find common ground. If you two quarrel, we will all be in a bad place." He looks into Khulun's eyes. "Butaj believes in you to always do the right thing for the Unicorn, Sayyeda. Butaj doesn't have to know all about the evils you face to trust you with this."

[Moto Khulun]

"Thank you, I just hope she sees that..." she says sadly.

[Moto Butaj]

"Butaj thinks she will. She sometimes has a goat in her head but her heart is gold and alabaster. Butaj knows to always follow the heart." He lays his hand on her arm, then smirks with a tease. "Is storming the fur fort the only way to banish the gloom? Now that the brethren are mad, Butaj needs to find new ways."

[Moto Khulun]

"We could ride together... chase the wind, cousin," she says looking at him.

[Moto Butaj]

His eyes and lips both smile. "Butaj is honored." Then he turns Huludai and sets off with a HIIYYAAH!

/fade to windchasing?

[Moto Khulun]

Khulun chases after with a powerful ululation as they chase the wind.
