Fluttering Star Order waited patiently as the large Golden Gates opened. Despite their size, the maintenance performed on them was impeccable. They swung open without the slightest noise. Even the wind itself seemed to still as they moved.
The instant the Gates opened, the three Feather Sword warriors dropped to a single knee.
"We greet—!"
Fluttering Star Order waved a hand and the Feather Sword warriors shot to their feet before they could realize what was happening.
"There's no need for so much formality. I'll have to thank you three for bringing over these children to me, I appreciate it."
The Feather Sword warriors opened their mouths to say something, but in the end they closed them once more and sighed. The fact that Fluttering Star Order didn't allow them to pay respects to her seemed like an act of humility on the surface, but in practice in was her drawing a clean line between the two of them.
