Jun 30, 2022, Truth: Tavra compares soothsaying to reading an opponent during a duel, which Onica teases her about- until Tavra observes that the true power of Onica's reading and dreams comes from the respect people have in her wisdom to interpret them.

Jul 30, 2022, Song: With her wings freshly torn from her, Onica is in pain and in need of distraction- she asks Tavra for a song, and Tavra quietly sings her the ancient song of the imperial unamoth.

Jan 29, 2023, Reassurance: Onica skips stones on the beach while being very not happy with Mayrin's pressuring Tavra, or with Tavra's self-sacrificing tendencies- Tavra hands her more stones to throw and quietly reaffirms that she won't give up being with Onica.

Feb 3, 2023, Reassurance 2: Tavra gifts Onica a shawl which Onica realizes Tavra made herself- while missing Onica, while wondering if Onica would come back- and they dreamfast in the moonlight about it.

Mar 15, 2023, Picky part 2: Tae hauls Onica back onto their boat, complaining that Onica's done enough pearl diving to have a whole string of pearls if she wasn't so picky- but Onica's newest find shuts her up quick.

Jun 30, 2023, Cliff: Ethri and Tae tease Onica as they sail towards Ha'rar, and their bets on if Tavra will be waiting for her doesn't amuse Onica at all, who isn't so sure- until she spots Tavra waiting upon the cliffs.

Oct 9, 2023, Stay: Ethri interrupts Onica and Tavra's rare time together with Far-Dreamer's business, but instead of leaving Onica to it, Tavra instead starts helping her prepare for the dreaming- not at all bothered if it should take all night.

Oct 18, 2023, Torn: Onica is annoyed by Tavra's eagerness to leave the Sifa, telling her to at least let Tae help her, but Tavra doesn't want to give Tae the wrong idea, asking Onica instead- and Onica agrees, deciding Tavra's choice matters more than her own dream.

Oct 27, 2023, Mending: Onica realizes Tavra tricked her into doing her exercises even back when Onica didn't like- an embarrassed Tavra insists Onica's dislike was reasonable, and Onica admits that even then, she hadn't wanted Tavra to leave.

Nov 3, 2023, Foretell; Tae pops her head in to let Onica know her girlfriend has arrived with flowers, and playfully asks an ominous question. Onica finishes advising a Sifa captain and laughs, giving an equally carefree answer.
