The hush that fell over this garden made it seem that much more peaceful. In the pre-winter stillness, Indira lowered her bipedal form to rest on a bench. She felt as though she had been transported to an entirely new place. Even though as a new Ichikan she was still getting used to navigating her way through the peaceful group’s claimed territories, she still felt like she had never been to a place quite like this garden. The silence did not suffocate her. In fact, it seemed to give her the freedom to breathe peacefully. She did not feel as though she had to rush her, or like she had to leave in any great hurry. She wondered what this place was called. She had been here for a little over a week, but she still had to carry out her initiation task, and she had spent most of her time by herself as she figured out the lay of the land.
Right now she was as Dai-In. The rank did not hold any special emphasis, but she was glad to belong to Ichika. The differences between this group and the one she had grown up as part of were already starkly apparent. Although members of the Clan were known to work together from time to time, they never really converged in order to accomplish something for the greater good of one another. It was more of a bartering of services if they were ever to combine their efforts.
Here in the garden, it was so apparent that the Ichikans cared very much for their home. The effort showed in the neatly kept line of trees that walled in this little garden sanctuary, and in the care that was preserving the few blooms left before the icy breath of winter. The medium gray girl swept her pale blue gaze across the tranquil landscape and knew quiet, and peace.
