#but Daine is younger than Briar

[petite-ursus]

Actually.

Empress Berenene's love of her orchids 🤝 Emperor Orzorne's love of his birds.

#tamora pierce #Daine mentions in Emperor Mage that the more she sees of the Emperor the more she finds him confusing #referring to how kind he is to his birds #but it's #kind of simple #To use Berenene's words #they're beautiful and they don't talk. #emperors/empresses... i mean even hitler loved dogs #but Daine is younger than Briar #so she doesn't get it the way he does
