General Xuan Zhen's Adventures in Twisted Wonderland (on hold)

An (almost) confession/Classes in Sessions and Teacher's Pet

After Mu Qing and the others have finished recoloring the roses, they helped Cater with the Croquet Tournament Cater made an opportunity to chat with him.

Mu Qing felt a squeeze in his gut as he had to witness a hedgehog being used as a ball and a flamingo as though it was a gold club. 'I need to speak with this child about animal abuse.'

Truth be told, Mu Qing always was fonder of animals than he was of people.

Mu Qing grimaced when he found from Cater that the flowers needed to be turned back to white at some traditional concert in Springtime. "How many rules does one dorm need to have?" he questioned.

Grim freaked out, "this dorm is INSANE!!!"

Cater lecturing them seemed like a repetitive mantra, "as stated by the Queen's rules, she made them and is one of the Seven Greats. And our House-warden deeply values those rules more than even the previous ones. Though I agree with you guys that he's bit much..."

'A bit?!' They all thought.

Cater changed the subject hoping to avert their attention from Riddle to someone else.

"So, Qing-chan, I never understood where you came from, what kind of world did you come from?" He asked. Unbeknownst to them, the others were paid closer attention.

After a few minutes, of waiting impatiently, Mu Qing eventually spoke, "I came from a kingdom."

This piqued the curiosities of the others. "You came from a kingdom?" Ace, Deuce, Cater, and Grim said simultaneously.

Cater smiled, "Are there any beautiful palaces?" The thought of it made him want to teleport there and see the definite majestic structure.

"Magical Realms?" Grim demanded. "Princes or gorgeous princesses?" Ace smiled.

"Or a mighty king and knight that rules it?" Deuce's eyes were sparkling with excitement.

All this at once, Mu Qing rolled his eyes and sighed, "when did you boys receive a sense of wisdom to ask tough questions when you all had been so naïve and ignorant not even moments ago?"

They all just grinned. "You underestimate us, Qing!" Ace cackled heartily.

"We want to know the place Qing-chan came from!" Cater grinned.

Mu Qing knew they wouldn't be relented and, reluctantly, he admitted they haven't pushed him at all and had been kind enough to consider his hesitation on opening up about himself.

"All of the above..." he admitted, besides of the martial gods were practically royal. Shi Qingxuan (female form), He Huan (female form), and of course, most of all, Xie Lian (who may be male, but possesses such love and kindness that he may as well be considered to be one).

The boys grinned like maniacs. "What're we waiting for? Let's go there!" Ace stood up in his uncontainable excitement. 'They forgot about Riddle and I'm curious myself about Qing-chan's world' Cater felt relieved to have brought this up.

Then came a reaction they didn't expect. They expected Mu Qing to decline the question.

"I...I can't..." Mu Qing felt a chill run down his spine, his heart began to beat against his chest, and his eyes shone as he remembered his torture, oblivious to the fact that the boys and Grim already sensed it.
