"It is! You have the same face as Eliko, actually."

"I wonder what different faces have in common."

"Do you mean what I'd have in common with your darling, or with Glint - who is a rather different face than me?"

"The former."

"We're unsure. Acererak didn't stop to talk, Naraka is me in a lot of ways... Though I had some backstory overlaps with Mara - another same face as me - and she reminded me of myself at her age, moreso than my other alts have. Reportedly, Loki reminded Mora most strongly of Glint, and they share a face."

"The faces seem to be a bit different with lightnings, though. I'd say Ellayania and my darling are in different... Clusters? Almost. Despite sharing a face."

"Weird," Shade diagnoses.

"It's all exceptionally weird. Interesting, though."

"I suppose."

"I think we should try to find more of us in general, to get more data, but Eliana's noted the others of us usually have problems that need solving."

"And we're not exactly a counterexample."

"Perhaps someday we'll figure out how to filter for that."

"Depends on the method of travel, probably."

"Mine filters a good bit - tends to land us near others of us, unless I'm specifically trying for not that, and always lands me somewhere conventionally habitable. Elatra's does less filtering. Mora's hasn't been widely tested, and neither has Glint's. ...I think that's most of the travel methods we have?"

"You would know better than I."

She shrugs. "Do you want to meet anyone else now? Or would you rather get reacquainted with each other for a while first?"

"I think a bit of time would be appreciated."

"Alright. I'll leave you both to it."

Nuzzle.

The Yew Queen laughs and curls into her darling more as Tentou takes her leave of them.

Yay cuddles!

She loves her Yew Queen.

Kisses!

She loves her Shade. She loves being Shade's.

And, elsewhere, with another Crow -

Naraka (it's a bit hard to think of herself like that, instead of as Uchiha Hisame, but it's better than being 'the second, less cool Hisame') has been experimenting with techniques. Tentou figured out how to get her a Mangekyou and Rinnegan of her own, and, well, she has to play catch up now...

Still, she's pretty sure she has the cross-world portal technique down. That one seems most important to her, right now.

She goes to find the Keres.

"Hello, sweetie."

"Hello darling," she says, giving her girlfriend a quick kiss. "I finally got that portal jutsu to work."

"Ooh, exciting. Are you planning a trip?"
