As <strong>ash</strong> neared her familiar, embers woke along their paper-thin edges. The Empress studied the winking lights. If a portent lay there, she kept silent.</p><p>“What of Sakura-hime’s consorts?” She asked. Simple language in bass tones was best with the frog.</p><p>“Approach unsafe forest,” she heard in her head. “Food?”</p><p>The thrush Takiyasha set free flew toward the open window.</p><p>Flit. The familiar’s tongue caught it mid-flight. “Warm. Good. More?”</p><p>The Empress ignored the request, instead signaling an attendant who resumed brushing her long hair using a fine <strong>ash</strong>-wood comb.</p><p><strong>Note</strong>: It’s not much of a story, but this one way I develop characters. I write short non-canon stories and let them reveal facets of the character before I use them in canon stories. Already, I know I need to go back and change a section of my main story where Takiyasha communicates with the frog familiar, and I have firmed up how the familiar speaks, something I already suspected.</p><p><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/CharacterDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CharacterDevelopment</span></a><br><a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMPrompts</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMv366" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NMv366</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Drabble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drabble</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/Takiyasha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Takiyasha</span></a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/SliceOfLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SliceOfLife</span></a></p>
