As you might have guessed, Yue is the world's foremost expert on dragons. For example, did you know that they are, um... very big? Usually? And many of them can fly! But some can't! Or don't? Because they prefer... swimming? Oh! Oh! And some stories say that dragons are the lynchpins of all creation, and that their breath is the breath of the planet and where they pass by is where the earth's energy flows freest and that one time? A dragon created an invincible shield and an unstoppable spear as gifts to a beautiful warrior but then stuff happened can't remember exactly what but anyway they hit each other and both broke and isn't that just [i]amazing?[/i]

But the one thing that all dragons have in common is that Yue has never seen one before in her entire life. Her eyes sparkle with delight as she turns her head up, and up, and up, and up, until she can't see the road anymore for all of the skygazing she's doing and it's really more her horse guiding her than the other way around. Wh-which is fine, by the way! Horses are very intelligent creatures and know just how to step to keep a rider on top of them even when that rider has a dozen other things on her mind. It'd be a stretch to say the horse wasn't already better at this than she was to begin with!

She doesn't breathe so much as gasp, and doesn't gasp so much as giggle in endless waves that ebb and flow like they're being pulled by the moon. A burst of lightning flashes overhead and she trills with total delight, actually lifting her hands up from her lap to clap, acting for all the world like this was a show put on just for her. Encore, encore! Rise higher, balloons! Go find your homes up in the clouds where you hide the treasures of the universe! Um, sh-she... she heard! Don't worry, it's just a rumor! Your secret is safe with Yuuueeeee~

She's never been this far from home before. Every step she takes is another step where she gets to say it, and the fun of it all still hasn't worn off. Maybe it never will? Every hour brings something new. New breeds of frog to be coaxed along their way, the warble of some tiny, bright green crested songbird she has no name for, but instinctively knows to watch the flowers as it sings, because, oh! Oh yes! Look at the way the petals open! See that, see? When the Malachite Jay sings its song, the flowers bend their stems to listen! In another hour they'll start to make a nectar that's sweet and refreshing and is said to cure almost any kind of sore throat or muteness in a flash! Oh, can't we stay? Can't we wait just a little while to gather some? Please, it'll only take a bit, please? Something this amazing only comes so oft-- oh! There's another one over there!!

Adventures are a lot of things that Yue the Sun Farmer never counted on. They're difficult and painful in ways she didn't know anything could be. They're scary and hard and involve plenty more demons than she ever thought somebody like her could attract. But, also? They're soft and sweet and... what's the word? They're it's, y'know the thing where, where... where you find a million tiny holes inside yourself that you didn't think were there before, but it feels good instead of bad because you keep turning your head, keep taking that next step, and you feel the warmth wash over you as another one of those holes fills in and you realize you're that much more finished than you were a minute ago. There's a word for that, right? Would you mind teaching her? 

Yue's eyes finally find the earth again, and what she sees turns her into a squeaky toy, or near enough as to make Kat's ears perk up hopefully. Her smile is so bright that she could ignite a new sun if enough dragons were around to breathe the necessary energies into it, which is a good thing they're not because then we'd have to find [i]another[/i] princess to shoot [i]that[/i] one down too and don't you think we've learned enough of that lesson already? 

"Oh! Oh gosh! Oh gosh gosh gosh gosh! That's sooooo much bigger than the markets we have in town! How could? Who even? Where does it all? Wow! Wowies!! Ohhhhhh, gosh, is it ok? Can we stop for a little bit? Can we? Oh. Oh! I hope I have enough to... w-well it'd be fine just to see, but, mmmmm! Gosh! [i]Gosh!"[/i]

And before anybody can blink, she's tossed her pack across her shoulder and springs lightly from her horse to run up the hill alongside Hyra, as though this could be faster. She laughs like sunlight and drops of dew, and when she twirls and sets the fabric of her miraculous dress in motion, when she catches the eyes and sees the expressions on everybody's faces... well, when that happens? There's not a soul around who could doubt she made the right wish to Cyanis Two-Tails after all.
