Kystal quietly left the room, the girl needed to vent a little. She didn't even care if she bothered anyone with her song. She wanted to sing, have fun, do what normal people do. She knew she couldn't so one thing she could do, sing, fly, find freedom but never be free. So the Komori started to sing.

Hoshiko had been passing by the inn on her way home, when she heard the song. It drew her attention and she felt a need to find the source of the melody. She found her way to the roof, but didn't disturb the singer, content to watch and listen, slightly swaying back and forth.

The Mantis girl finished her song and sat down pondering her next move. She hasn't noticed the Phoenix girl watching her. The Mantis didn't want to go back to her room, she just wanted some fresh air.

With the song over, the Shiba went to sit next to the Mantis. "That was very beautiful."

"Thank you..." She smiled. "Do you like music?"

"Very much. I can't say I thought much of it as a child." she admitted. "But, my training with the Osprey gave me a great appreciation for music."

"I see..." She looked at the sky. "Then you understand my emotion on the song."

"I think so. A little, at least." she nodded. "I am on the verge of leaving Asakaze and my family behind. Regardless of who I am matched with, my training isn't meant to be used here. I've dreamed of the stars all my life, but now..."

"It is a difficult task to leave people behind. I have traveled so much. I should not stay in one place." She looked at the sky. "I just...disappear."

"Not if you continue to sing like that on roof tops." she shook her head. "People will find you."

"Not me... but perhaps someone like me." She nodded at the sky. "I don't seek fame just to be heard."

"Well, I liked what I heard." Hoshi smiled. "I'd like to hear more."

She nodded. As a request, the Mantis started to sing

Hoshi hummed along as she swayed back and forth. She couldn't resist lightly clapping with the beat.

The girl smiled. It was nice to have someone appreciate her music. "I am glad you like that one."

"It was very good." She was still swaying to the memory of the tune. "I am Shiba Hoshiko."

"An honor to meet you Shiba san." She sighed. She dreaded this moment. She nodded internally. "Stage name Komori Kystal, also known as Moshi Atena." She shook her head. "It is a work in progress."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Moshi-san." she dipped her head. "Would you prefer I use your stage name?"

"Stage name during the night. My chosen name by day." She hoped never to be triggered during the day. "You have live here all your life Shiba san?"

She nodded. Taking a moment to look around, she pointed out into the night. "I grew up on an otori ranch out there with my sister. Our parents oversee some of its operation,"
