[Yet Kaori will hold any age gap over her as long as possible.

Its easy to find magic, seeing the world through Nia's eyes. And the locals appreciate it, feeling warm and bright. She'll get a good deal on all kinds of things.

There's even some local stage plays going on. Food vendors offer different treats and meals as people of all ages gather for a show.

hououji: (Surprised ♪ But now we see the sun)

[The Hououji family had guarded the Saotome family for generations. Her father, and her father's father, and her father's father's father, and probably several fathers before that had been at their side, ever loyal, ever indebted, ever cursed grateful for the position they held and the power that lorded over graced them. Each successor bowed their head and was cursed blessed by the Saotome family in exchange.

There had not been a generation of the Hououji family spared exempted unbound neglected by the gods--every generation was blessed with a son, smart with strategy and talented in at least one of the arts of war. And each generation, upon the arrival and training of an heir gave their lives in sacrifice honor of the estate. This position came with the guarantee of an early death, it seemed. But generation after generation provided a son to stay beside the Saotomes.

Until the births of Kuu and Fuu Hououji, and the subsequent death of Kaze Hououji in the line of fire. He hadn't been able to offer an heir to his position before his death, only the girls.

And that is how a twelve year old blonde wound up ushered into meeting room room, standing tall as she could (she was still under 5 foot, after all) and confident (no, truthfully, she was very nervous) in ill-fitting armor, waiting to meet with the heir she would have the honor of guarding until her own inevitable death, if Kuu should do her own duty and provide an heir.]
