Izumi suprises herself sometimes.
Maybe it is because she grew softer with time, much to her dismay — a leader musn't become too soft. She couldn't imagine her past self ever being this open to the company of strangers — much less a man she didn't know. The sterner sex was always to be kept at a distance until proven they could be trusted. Yet Izumi couldn't seem to find the distrust thats driven her to survive for this long to keep this one at an arms length. Maybe the men that were currently in her life had allowed her to keep her guard down. Or…that were in her life.
Her freinds….the man she loved….she still hadn't found him yet.
A trilling call breifly snapped her out of her thoughts, and her lilac gaze trailed towards the pale avian on his back. 'She disagrees with me.', he says, and her crown couldn't help buut tilt inquisitively. "You…can understand them?" Color her suprised — the curious man before Izumi not only held the trust of a raven, but could also communicate with it. A light of facination lit within her gaze, and she waltz closer towards the two now. Bowing her crown to them, as two entitities. A part of her was amused that she'd even be in a situation where she'd greet a raven. Yet it was an idea that she was open too. Minnun, was her name. "Izumi.", was her own that she'd share.
"And though you are no avian like your friend Minnun, I would still like to know yours." She quipped dryly.
