Title: Conventionality
By: mecredigirl
Recipient: a fill for yifu's prompt
Rating: Suitable for all.
Character(s): Ursa
Content notes: None

Moon above the plains,
Grey light upon the terrace.
Aosha tries to dream.

Brush and deepest ink
Dancing out the strokes for 爱:
Marriageable skills.

Her gaze crosses court;
A frowning young man startles.
Does she know his name?

Clink of silver taels
On her father's table --
She fetches good coin.

Red silk bows her head,
Gold phoenixes romp her robes.
Walk to your future.
