Water Rooster personality
Water adds responsiveness to the Rooster's exacting style, suggesting someone who notices not only a detail but also how best to raise it. Candour becomes more conversational when listening helps shape the delivery. The challenge is over-editing a response, with so much attention paid to possible reactions that a useful and timely observation is never actually voiced.
