Phoenix awoke to sunlight touching his face from the open sliding door. Having a clear view of the hallway reaching out to the traditional estate's garden, birds chirped as they hopped through the air.
Getting up, drowsy, he sighed. "Another day.". His hair was a mess and he was dressed in a basic traditional pajama called a jinbei. They were navy blue, making his appearance appear androgynous. Phoenix stood up and headed towards the dresser (tansu) to get his clothes for the day. He usually wears the Phoenix-colored yukata, but today it seemed brighter. A bright yellow gradient yukata with flower patterns caught his eye as he grabbed it gently, feeling the soft texture of the silk cloth. Phoenix enjoyed wearing silk as it made him feel mature and regal. Though the material was expensive compared to other clothes he used, he didn't mind too much as he was a village beauty anyways.
Phoenix changed into the vibrant yellow yukata, appreciating how it brought out the warmth in his complexion. Ah, but he forgot something. His chest bandages... Inside the tansu drawer, he found his special binding bandages.As soon as he took them out, he already bound them to his chest. Only Ame and Butterfly knew about his secret... Phoenix was originally brought up and raised as a woman, just like Ame and Butterfly... but it didn't feel right to him, it felt out of place and odd. Therefore, his expression and identity transformed into something masculine yet androgynous presenting to be more confident within himself.. properly identifying Phoenix. He knew what he was, but sometimes he felt uncomfortable in his own body. If only he had beenraised differently. After the sudden thoughts he tied the obi around his waist, the sash accentuating his slender figure, and adjusted it to ensure a comfortablefit. With each delicate movement, he exuded grace and elegance.
Today, to avoid unnecessary thoughts, he decided to test Hana again. His beauty and charm were the main components of this challenge. Taking the makeup near the tansu, he applied it to himself facing a small mirror near the bed. "Ahh... she won't be able to handle this.." He smirked.

Hana woke up to Ame sliding open the door. "Get up traveler. It's breakfast time." Ame's instructions were to wake up guests as Phoenix did his own thing. She didn't necessarily need to get him up as he was an early riser. Ame still had ill feelings towards Hana...so she kept her cold glare. Ame closed the door, walked out, saying, "Please wear the guests' clothes on the tansu over there." Ame closed the door and walked away.
Hana blinked, getting up from the bed and stretching. "Geez.. she doesn't like me." She sighed looking over to the room she slept in. It was quite cozy on her other journeys, and warm. She liked the regal touch of the whole place, and the scenery... (including gazing at Phoenix.) Hana moved closer to the tansu, marveling at the simple outfits. The cloth looked expensive which made Hana curious on how they could afford this. All of them lived alone, didn't they?
After Hana changed into a purple Samue, she looked over at a bowl with imported herbal sticks for cleansing her teeth. She grabbed one and chewed, keepingher mouth fresh. She spit out the chewed portion into another bowl to dispose of the stick's waste. It seemed like a proper operation for brushing teeth at the time. (Don't worry Phoenix and the others have done this too.)
Hana opened the door, wearing sandals that were outside the door. She looked over to the garden's scenery and saw Phoenix's door. It seems there were two people in the room, presumably Ame and Phoenix as two sets of shoes were outside his door. Hana felt slightly jealous on how they were so close, considering they were siblings.. but Hana wanted more attention from Phoenix... he caught her eye and mind. She looked ahead, walking to the dining area as Butterfly appeared from behind.
"Hello Hana!" Butterfly smiled gazing into her eyes. "Wow... I knew the samue would look gorgeous on you!" Butterfly was very friendly, and seemed genuinely interested in getting closer toQuite startled at the sudden interaction, Hana replied, "A-Ah... Hello!" Hana smiled nervously, "Thank you..?" She blushed at the compliment, feeling sheepish. "I really like this color... hehe." Butterfly winked. "I think it's an excellent color for impressing him~!" She smiled smugly.
