In the Sky Castle, Princess Chen was taking a shower. It had been a long workout and she'd been dunked in a lake at least once, so she deserved a shower and a change of clothes. Not to mention the Sky Castle had amazing showers, full of steam and lavender soap, so she could let herself luxuriate. It was a joy to let the warm water wash over her tail, her ears, and all her hair thoroughly before gently easing herself back into the warm fluffiness of her thick clothes for the flight back.

When the announcement came, she let her rinse finish and gently but quickly toweled herself off before getting dressed. She was not about to assault a major fortress and she knew enough to understand that the people she'd just met were the ones equipped to deal with this problem. But she did have more than enough speed on a sword to make sure that they had a manageable number of problems interfering with their air space. And besides, it would be fun to put on a sky show with the other Princesses.
