Personality (if you were curious)
Mei-Li does not like extra treatment, especially if it is known she is a princess. She walks around as a commoner, and usually is quite popular with her fellow citizens.
She barely gets embarrassed, and does not like to humiliate or embarrass others.
She respects all people, no matter their status. And of course, that means she dislikes slavery.
Kouen and Mei-Li are both very charismatic with their surroundings and people. In that way they are quite similar as step-siblings and cousins. (Mei-Li's mother is Hakutoku and Koutoku's sister).
Chapter 2 Departure
Everyone got ready within the two hour notice, and headed off to the ship. Mei-Li arrived at the port first since she didn't have anything to pack in the first place. She didn't have the chance to unpack when she returned; it turned out to be a good thing. Kouen soon arrived while Kougyoku came last. She had Ka Koubun carry all her belongings. Her brothers all stared at her wondering why she brought so much stuff.
"What? Is something wrong?" Kougyoku asked, unsure of what they were staring at.
Kouha points at here in terror. "Y-You're not bring all of that are you?" He asked.
Kougyoku looks back at her belongings, "Of course! Why not? I'm still sad I couldn't bring the rest. Ka Koubun said it'd be too much for the ship." She sighed.
The upperhalf of all her their faces went purple. Mei-Li had already forgotten about the time when Hakuei, Kougyoku, and herself had gone on a previous trip. At that time she had brought twice as much as what she brought this time. "Kougyoku let's go." Mei-Li said. Kougyoku happily smiled and nodded her head.
As the ship set sail, Kouha and Kougyoku played and ran around the ship. Kouen and Koumei went into a different room to discuss their plans with Sindria. Hakuei and Hakuryuu accompanied Mei-Li on the ship deck as they walked around in circles.
"Mei, do you plan on telling us the reason you left us for one year?" Hakuei asked. "None of us asked last night because we were unsure of how you would react if we suddenly asked right after you came back. But.." Hakuei's head was down and little tears began falling down her face.
She was worried. Mei-Li had knew Hakuei was most likely the most worried about her. To Mei-Li, Hakuei was like a motherly figure, and she did not want to make her sad. But.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell anyone about my reasons. But I'll be sure to tell you when the time comes... when it comes." Mei-Li had said this as if the time would never come, and remained silent for a while.
As she looked far across the ocean, tears began rolling down. She had been saddened by how her decisions had hurt her precious siblings.
An inch of light, an inch of my love
A bloom of cereus, a bloom of cloud
A bloom of snowflake, a bloom of dreams
Held carefully in the heart of my palm
A single seed of dust, A Bodhi tree
A single falling star, and just only you
Held carefully in the heart of my palm
When she was singing this song the wind was gently blowing in her hair as if it was singing along with her, and she let out a small smile with light tears. The four siblings on the deck listened as she sang, and wondered what she was thinking when she sung this and what exactly was she singing? It seemed to be a song of an unknown language, however seeing as how their sister had sung it this way, they had mixed feelings of what to think of it. Meanwhile, Kouen and Koumei inside had heard it as well. Though they continued to hear it while progressing through their work.
This time no one fell asleep.
Sorry I know this is kind of short, but I wasn't sure of where to stop. So I just stopped before the plot got into Sindria.
