China Sorrows is a collector, and so she goes through life looking at things just a bit differently from others. She sees personality in inanimate objects, and she sees the inanimate objects in the people that she strings along in her wake, bobbing like so much flotsam. She's gotten so many of them onto her side over the years, even when there wasn't really much of a side that agreed with her completely.

After all, no one ever really does agree with her completely, because not much of anyone is a match for her. She's gone long past formidable, and right into the realm of the undefeatable, the indefatigable, though people have tried. Oh, how they have tried.

Valkyrie's different. She always was, she with her sharp tongue and her bright eyes and her indomitable wit. They argue whenever they speak, because people like that don't just let arguments slip by, but they love them so much that they don't seem like arguments at all.

China has collected many treasures over the years. She is, after all, a collector, and she goes through life looking at everything skewed. Nothing has ever seemed to her quite as precious, though, as Valkyrie.


A/N: Yet more China/Valkyrie fluff. =D
