The Day of Thunder

[Matsu]

Matsu was still sitting in her tent, the rain pattering against the material. She had seen Satsuki's note about making Cranes for Doji.

Queen of the Demonfuckers. Serves her right... she internally thought.

But it wasn't Lady Doji who forgot her father in that stupid fucking play.

And the Lady was a divine being. The sister of Lord Hisomu, one of the great Kami.

Maybe that's why Matsu had accepted the materials that were sitting on her bedroll. She wasn't an artist, except maybe when playing the flute.

Her fingers were clumsy, as she followed the directions. Some of the fine paper was torn, and she crumpled those and tossed them away.

In the end, though, she had two paper Cranes. They were folded neatly, and tidily.

"Don't die because of demonfuckers, Lady Doji. You're the only good one of the lot. Maybe Hikaru, too, because Satsuki likes him." She muttered in a near silent prayer.
