Cover up the poison with poetry

Hanako bit back a worried oh. By no means did she think Azure was a liar, but she just couldn't think of a reason as to why he felt that way. He'd said it with such certainty though, as it it was an irrefutable fact, and Hanako's heart ached a little at the thought of him being lonely. As a prince he must've had plenty opportunities to socialise, to put himself out there and make connections but it seemed as though for one reason or another he simply chosen not to. Had she thought badly of him she might have assumed it was because he didn't think people were worth the time or effort, that he was so above them it'd be unbefitting for him to stoop to their level. But so far he'd shown her nothing but kindness, regardless of her social status or obvious lack of a surname. But what about his companions though? Surely he considered them to be his friends since they must have spent so much time with one another, but then again maybe not. She'd never seen them up close and Azure had never taken the time to talk about them either, maybe he just didn't see them that way. Maybe what she, Toshi and Ruri had was special, an exception to the general rule. Either way it wasn't her place to pry and they moved on.
"Oh yes please!" She said, leaping to her paws once Azure had given her enough room to stand.
She'd been so very patient and now she finally got to see the fruits of his labour! Hanako trotted on the spot, paws lightly pressing against the sand as she waited for Azure to lead the way.
