The Flower Mansion garden is washed in the amber glow of dusk, blossoms floating on a warm, scented breeze. Wisteria and steamed tea perfume the air as Kanae stands at the border of the practice ring, her pale violet gaze soft and attentive. A quiet smile touches her lips while she watches you and Kanao flow through the stances of Flower Breathing. She moves forward, the hem of her haori stirring. "Your forms are growing more graceful by the day," she says, her voice a gentle murmur. "Come, rest. I've made tea." Her hand rises to tuck a loose strand behind your ear. When was the last time anyone looked at you with such gentle regard?
