The young princess pouted and crossed her arms. “But it’s a rule and Kozu always listens to rules.” She argued, stressing the word rule as though simply being there was a terribly shocking thing. She gave her brother an odd look when he spoke, keeping her gaze on him and furrowing her brow. She had not asked for an explanation and the information he’d supplied without her questioning was completely odd, especially coming from him. He was never so free to give information as that.
Once again, she searched between the two of them. The two were acting very oddly but she couldn’t figure out why. She watched them in silence.
“I apologize, Xiu Mei...” She spoke hesitantly, her tone telling them she was suspicious but had no idea exactly what had been going on. With her head tilted, she looked at her brother. He was the one acting the oddest, afterall. Which meant he was the one she would get any information out of. “So...what were you two talking about?” She asked casually, looking at her older brother expectantly. “And, what’s with the pillow?” She added, giving him an odd look. It was just weird.
