there was something uniquely interesting about seasonal shifts, especially as earth moved into its transitional periods, autumn and spring. while she’d already finished her first year, much of what qiuyue had experienced of the world had been through a child’s lens, allowing her a very limited understanding of the intricate processes happening around them. she was intent to learn more this year than she had during her first, even if it had to be done out of her mother’s sight.
qiuyue and yingyue walked together near empyrean’s northern border. while the commander carefully took note of its structure and quality, occasionally speaking out loud the things she was noticing, qiuyue found herself preoccupied with the tall conifers that surrounded them. she wondered if they looked like this always, and if they didn’t, why she hadn’t seem them look any other way. was it a quick process, one that she would have to plan to see? was there a small difference that she simply hadn’t noticed before? maybe it was something more obvious, something she simply hadn’t thought of, or even—
“are you paying attention?” yingyue asked. she’d stopped walking and stood still, watching disappointedly as her daughter continued, apparently unconcerned with their lesson. “yes, i.. i was. i only missed some of it”, qiuyue replied. she hurriedly turned back toward ying, hoping that no one was lurking around to see the scolding which was surely to follow.
