That's right.

[ She nods!! ]

People would pay a fortune just to hear me... want to hear it sometime?

[ Ehe... Edamura is such a cutie, too. She'll need to put in more work to fluster him further, unless she gets sent away tomorrow. ]

I'll be sure to sing you a lullaby, then. The next time you have a sweet dream, think of it as a gift from the Wisteria Fairy.

[ Is she kidding... or being serious... well, either way, she says them with melodious charm, her smile sweet like honey. ]

[FORTUNATELY FOR BOTH OF THEM, SHE DID NOT!]

Wisteria Fairy. . . ?

Is that your stage name?

[ yes this means she can terrorize him more ]

Mm, you can think of it as a title.

[ She says the perfect thing to toe the line of whether it's literal or symbolic, finding it fun to keep the mystery up in the air. Is it a title bestowed upon people playing a cultural role? Or is it closer to being a deity? She elaborates a tiny bit, trying to paint a picture for him of the time she came from: ]

Flower fairies often watch over a sacred tree or blooms... and listen to the wishes of people during fetes, urging them to come true. In my era, it was common for people to bring offerings and pray when they came to tell me their wish, or listen to me sing.

[a title. . . not a stage name. . .]

[. . .]

[suddenly he thinks back to the branches that had embraced him back during their first meeting. help???]


In. . . your era.

[. . . okay okay we are PAST the stage of IMMEDIATE DENIAL, maybe lingering closer to acceptance?? don't deny it outright, Edamura. don't do it!!]

Did. . . did those people call you the "Wisteria Fairy?"

That's right.

[ She confirms it for him, grinning slyly. ]

Though, of course, my moms and the rest of my family just called me 'Yingying.'

D. . . do you prefer "Yingying" to "Wisteria Fairy?"?

[genuinely question the deep breath was so he would not freak out remembering how she was probably the one controlling those vines the other day!]

[ .... ]

Yingying.

[ She answers firmly after a beat to think about it — no one's ever asked her that before. ]

So call me that, please, okay?
