Prompt/challenge you're answering: Yun teaches Fenimore how to do something she is an expert at (and vice versa)
Author's comment: I wanted to have this one both ways, so this is actually two stories and two pieces of art. The first puts Yun into the ToL universe and the second puts Fenimore in the Suikoden world.
A Bouquet of Bread
Yun was a funny little girl, but she wasn't the Merines. There had been some chatter throughout the village back when she was about five years old and began to see visions, but Yun herself had been quick to clear that up, even before Elder Maurits could be summoned from his own village to discuss the subject with the people. "I saw the Merines, dressed in black, looking over the ocean. Her long, wavy hair was blowing in the breeze."
In private, Yun told her oldest sister, Yuiri, how pleased she was to see the new Merines in her visions. "Because I will only see her for a brief time in my own life, and that before she assumes the full mantle of her power and responsibilities."
Yuiri cautioned Yun against speaking to others of the Ferines bodies that would form the steps for the Merines to walk to her dais and the blood that would be her red carpet. Yun was an obedient girl, preternaturally wise for her years. Yuiri took this morbid knowledge to heart and silently practiced, solidifying her skill with the bow, and her sister Yumi's as well. Destiny was fixed, but in its generalities, not its particulars. With true names of "sagacity," "inviting one," and "one who sees," all three sisters had powerful fates to fulfill.
Fenimore knew none of these dark facts. Yun was just that strange girl who saw things. She wasn't a very quick swimmer and she had no other real skills of note, but Fenimore couldn't claim to be anything special herself, so in that regard, she could relate.
Yun saw things differently. Fenimore was going to be something important to their people- she was going to be important to the Merines. Right now, she was someone interesting to Yun, just for being herself.
"Here you go, Yun. It's the bread your sister wanted," Fenimore arrived outside the house delivering the promised loaf.
"Ah, it's so soft," Yun squeezed the bread and watched in stretch back to its original shape when she released the pressure. "Did you make this bread yourself, Fenimore, or did your mom make it?"
"Umm, well, we usually work together, but I made this batch myself."
"Really?" Yun's eyes grew bright, "I think you bake the best bread in town! I'm no good at all. Do you think you could teach me how to bake bread more like you do?"
Fenimore was somewhat taken aback. No one was ever specifically interested in her or her skills. "C-certainly," she agreed.
"Do you have time to start my lessons tomorrow? I can go to your house or you can come over here, whichever one is more convenient for you," Yun asked and offered sweetly. She held the long loaf of bread carefully in her arms, almost like it was a bouquet.
"Tomorrow is fine. You can come to my family's house, unless you'd rather I came to yours."
"I'll come over then. That way you don't have to bring any special supplies you might have here." The way Yun smiled when they said good-bye left Fenimore with the distinct feeling this girl had admired her for a long time.
