[ Is this girl a fellow Otherworlder? With her soft appearance and her pale features, especially her hair, Sakura certainly thinks she could pass for a being from these Gardens. But with the way she is asking questions, Sakura thinks she must be one of them. Also, many of the spirits are animals. Of those who are not, most are translucent and bordered by magical light. The one exception seems to be none other than this Guardian whom they are encountering at the ceremony at the heart of the Grove: a beautiful pale woman with magical features. This other girl looks something like that, too. ]
They appear to be bears. [ Her own voice is soft as she approaches. Despite being here for some months, Sakura is just as out of her element in this particular territory as the other girl. ] ... but I've never seen bears that were made of gems like this.
[ She can see the faint sparkle in the girl's eyes from tears and see the lingering wetness on her cheeks. The light from the moons illuminates it. Sakura feels something of a pang. Tears of joy? It is difficult for her to believe at times, too. She is a girl who grew up knowing mostly pain, with mostly a very singular area of comfort in looking to the one she loves. Such unabashed kindness from so many sources is just as overwhelming for her as it is for Nuvia, and it remains difficult to comprehend. Now, she approaches as an equal, despite having been here longer. This location is a new one for them all, and the spirits here are ones they are all just learning of. So they can learn together. ]
