Opening One's Heart

As they said their goodbyes to one another, the little girl still hid behind Ming Yue. Her little hands clung to the skirt of her armor but she peeked out, watching as the Four Claws left. Once they were gone, it was just these two along with Hei Yue and Xiao Yin. 

The young woman turned and knelt down, looking at the girl with gentle eyes. The little girl looked back at her, much more composed and relaxed compared to before. 

"Do you have a name?" Ming Yue asked. 

The girl looked at her blankly before kneeling down and writing on the ground. Once she finished Ming Yue looked at it, furrowing her brows. 

"It's a bit different what the current language but I think it's... Liang... Hongyu?" she said, "Liang Hongyu, is that right?" 

The girl nodded, smiling even that Ming Yue understood her. 

"Hmm, so is Hongyu fine for you?" she asked. 

The girl nodded. 

"I see."
