Mycella knelt at the edge of the tier, overlooking the cherry blossom trees all around as the pink petals fell against the black sky. Her gaze lifted to the full moon above, just staring at it until Holly lightly took a strand of hair in her beak. The girl looked to her small friend, and gently rubbed her head.
Spear laying before her, Mycella let out a long sigh. She'd travelled far from her home in Europe, but still had not found any answers.

Jellybean walked through the darkness slowly, her gaze going back and fourth between the ground and what was in front of her. "Jesus, it's so dark! I can't see a thing!" She whispered loudly. She looked up to see several Cherry Blossom trees, along with a girl sitting next to them. She stared, then thought 'I can't just stand here. May as well talk to her. She looks harmless, anyway.' She approached the girl slowly.
"Um, hello. Are you lonely?"

Her hand automatically went for her spear, but stopped just before grasping it. She turned her body just enough so that she could see the newcomer. Holly flew to and perched on her other shoulder, in view of the other girl.
"Not quite."
Not really one for conversation, Mycella turned back around and resumed staring at the moon.

Jellybean could sense that this girl wasn't really up for talking, but she thought it would be rude if she sat without asking.
"May I sit with you?" She let her gaze rest on the beautiful bird perched on the girl's shoulder, then down to the spear laying on the ground. She reached behind her, pretending to scratch her back and clutched Subaru tightly, trying to calm her fears of being attacked.

"Sure," she replied quietly, a little sigh escaping her. The moon seemed just as it was that night...
She fiddled with her fingers a little on her lap. Holly sensed her sadness, and let out a small chirp in her ear. Mycella smiled, raising her right hand for the bird to hop onto. Holly gave her a 'kiss' on the nose.

Jellybean smiled slightly as she sat. She set Subaru on the ground, remembering the day she received it. "So," she began softly, "What's your name?" She smiled anxiously, hoping she wouldn't make the other girl angry.

"Mycella," she replied shortly, lowering her gaze to the cherry blossom petals blowing from the trees. The breeze changed course for a moment and blew in their direction, causing her to lower her head a little. Holly tucked her head under Mycella's hair a little.
"And yours?"

"I'm Jellybean. Nice to meet you, Mycella." She gazed at the bird that Mycella had with her, then said, "That's a very beautiful bird. It seems very attached to you. What's its name?" Jellybean hoped she wasn't asking too many questions. She gazed up at the moon, awaiting the girl's answer.

"Her name is Holly."
Hearing her name, the bird gave a small chirp. Mycella positioned her hand next to her shoulder so the bird could perch there once more. She closed her eyes in thought. Her hands placed gently in her lap, she let out a quiet sigh.

With a quiet sigh, Mycella stood. With one last look at the bright moon and the falling petals, she turned and walked away into the night. Perhaps she would return again.
