@seekjustice Ah, are you saying you could use another war?
p.s. If you are, I’m able to.

@seekjustice Oh no, I’m sorry about that! 🙁

Favorite snippet: (I just love allllllll the character dynamics in this scene… but they do need some help in the description department in the next draft. XD)
Duyên chuckled and took note of the calligraphers again. Po was nice enough, but not the person she would have chosen to talk with on an evening when she was already stressed. Most of the calligraphers were the same place they’d been, but Chaska was rounding up her boys. Duyên frowned. Her health must have been bothering her again.
Makio walked up to the stairs and set a hand against the post beside Po. “Is this guy bothering you?” Makio asked Duyên.
Duyên shrugged. “We were having a pleasant conversation. But I appreciate you looking out for me.” She smiled up at Makio.
Makio slapped Po’s shoulder and nodded toward the field. “Come on. Let’s shoot some hoops.”
Po glanced at Duyên. “Sorry to cut the conversation short.”
Duyên tried to smile. “Don’t worry about it.”
Po headed onto the field and Duyên mouthed a ‘thank you’ to Makio as he prepared to follow. Makio smiled before turning back to Po. “Race you to the hoop?”
The two ran off to the western hoop and Duyên took a deep breath. Makio always had her back. Duyên smiled as she watched Po and Makio play in the lantern-light. Tora was lucky to have Makio for a brother.
Ryuu walked over from a conversation with some of the younger boys and set one foot on the steps. “Are you doing all right?”
Duyên nodded with a soft smile. “Thanks for asking.”
Ryuu took a seat beside her, hands between his knees. “I saw Makio had to get Po away from you again.” Ryuu smirked.
Duyên chuckled. “It wasn’t like that. Po was actually being nice, he’s just… not the best company when my thoughts are heavy.”
“I hope I’m an improvement?” Ryuu wiggled his eyebrows.
Duyên laughed, head thrown back. Her expression faded to a grin as she turned back to Ryuu. “Yes.” She leaned up and kissed him briefly.
Ryuu grinned. “I’m happy to hear it.”
Duyên leaned on his shoulder and watched the lights dancing over the field a moment before closing her eyes and listening to the childrens’ laughter. She felt Ryuu press a long kiss to her forehead. Duyên released a contented sigh. “Can’t evenings like this just last forever?” she murmured.
“I wish.”
“Can we pretend?”
Ryuu rubbed her shoulder. “Absolutely.”
Duyên’s thoughts drifted and she fell asleep.Speculative fiction author. Mythology nerd. Worldbuilding enthusiast. Singer. Fan of classic literature.

I got 464. Seeing I was stuck and Scrivener wasn’t working before, I find this quite pleasing 😀
That’s a lovely snippet! And I love the name Ryuu too 🙂

By the way, how’s everyone going? Are you on track? (I’m quite a bit behind, unfortunately 😛 )
