Title: Saati Rating: G Team: Emelan Prompt: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Word Count: 227 Summary: Glaki tries to cheer up Tris.
When Glaki was five, she was traveling towards Emelan with Tris and Niko. Tris was excited and nervous to see her family again and equally nervous to begin classes at Lightsbridge. It was all Tris would talk about when the two were alone. She knew Glaki wouldn’t understand, but she couldn’t talk to Niko about it. She didn’t want to appear so undignified. Glaki would try to understand in her little way making pretty things to cheer Tris up.
One night when Tris was sitting by a window in the room within the suite they had rented while Niko did some work in this city. Tris was watching the breezes, so she never heard the younger girl sneak up on her. Glaki knew better than to interrupt Tris, so she sat patiently holding a bouquet of wildflowers like the most precious treasure in the world.
When Tris finally tired of the winds, she returned to the tactile world turning to finally see Glaki with her flowers. Glaki noticing she was there reached up to hand over the boquet and said, “Flowers for saati!”
Niko sitting on the other side of the room reading a book stated, “She keeping saying that, but I’m not sure she knows what it means.”
Tris smiled and swept Glaki into a hug. Smiling, she replied, “Yes, she knows exactly what it means.”

*dies from sweetness overload* Honestly, the cutest portrayal of Tris and Glaki's relationship I have ever read. You managed to keep Tris's character picture-perfect while also putting in so much sweetness and cuteness and awwwww-ness that it was just so CUTE. Flowers and hugging and nervous-Tris and saati. I loved it.

This is adorable. I love the idea of Tris becoming almost a mother to Glaki. Tris being so happy about their relationship is too cute; I think it's fantastic how Tris has this other, softer side of her that only close friends/family get to see. Brilliantly done!
