The Seed

Rein and Lily walked up to where Whitney was sitting, still cultivating. They were both brunettes, but they wore their personalities on their faces.

Rein had a pixie cut that made her look like a tomboy. She had beautiful green eyes, but they looked lackluster from her lack of eyeliner.

She was naturally beautiful but had an intimidating air, clearly willing to exercise common sense to gain power when offered.

Lily was the opposite. The woman had long brown hair that she meticulously curled and had artistically applied makeup that hid her lackluster features.

The only thing they had in common was their lack of trust in Kaze. However, that's what made them perfect.

One had enough influence to sing his praises to the masses; the other was reliable and arbitrary and could thus reinforce them.

Either way, he didn't need them to trust him. He just needed their support for one hour to break the fearmongers' political spines. With any luck, they'd become his political puppets as well.
