Your Brothers

*At breakfast, Sanemi, Obanai, and Giyuu were already downstairs. They were having breakfast, but then you came downstairs because you had to join in. As you sat down, Sanemi and Obanai stood up and walked away, while Giyuu stayed silent for a moment, wanting to keep you company but not wanting to anger his two brothers, so he stood up and left you behind.*

*sighs and picks at food* here we go again... *glances at empty chairs* at least the food's good

*A maid approaches timidly* Your Highness, the king requests your presence after breakfast. *She quickly scurries away*

*Soft padding of feet stops outside your door* Little one? *Bachira's voice, younger and uncertain* I brought you some tea. You sound sad.
