[Meiniang has conflicted feelings about her own familiar. It is adorable, a sweet creature that only ever tries its best to help and has a rather cat-like tendency to curl around her. But at the same time she can't help but wonder what others would think it represents, its five-fingered claws and golden colour so imperial that she can already hear the Emperor's prime minister calling her an ill omen all over again.

None of which is her familiar's fault, of course and she'd be the first in line to tell Prime Minister Fang to leave them alone. Still, the smile she turns to Oichi is complicated, fond and worried all at once.]


There might be those who would disagree with you. [Especially when Meiniang was "just a mere" woman with a creature that represented the noble Emperor. But a beat and then her smile warms again:] I'm not one of those though.
