The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
She nodded quietly, watching the curls who were now tumbling amongst each other in the corner. Fur flying in all directions and tails waving frantically. They snarled and snapped, but neither ever made any sort of real contact with the other, save for their hips knocking against each other every time they bounced around. “Exactly. They don’t… speak, or connect the way Picoro and I, or Yukime and you would… nonetheless though they stick around, and I love them each dearly as well.”
“That's the one…” she replied, trailing off. She too had thought briefly she’d seen something, though hers had been more of a shadow, a looming, of what had once torn her apart, and made her who she was now. No longer royalty, but a figment of the lady she had once been. Of course he had not been there, but she saw him in every flicker of the candle light, every shadow it cast upon the stone walls of the court. “Ironic, at a mourning festival to find out you need not mourn anymore”

She laughed as the woman made her playful retort. “Not unless you want to be back here in a day paying for a new roll of gauze” she teased right back. “Off you go then. Tell your sister I’m ready whenever she’d like to join me here.”
