*   soft  on  xiulan!

@solisaen,     they  are  your  thoughts,    xiulan.    of  course  they  arent  silly.    please..   go  on,    what  have  you  been  thinking  of?

@lanstrue,        you  really  do  have  quite  the  mouth  on  you,   captain!    ❪..❫    honestly?    i  wasnt  sure  what  to  do  with  my  life  until  he  mentioned  i  could  train to  be  his  retainer.     

honest  living  my  ass!   you  weren't  even  interested  in  joining  up  'til  he  gave  his  recommendation.   what're  you  trying  to  get  at  with  him,   huh?

@lanstrue,      my  intentions?      its  an  honest  living,    captain  liu.    surely  ive  given  no  reason  for  your  suspicion?

it  would..   put  me  at  ease,   knowing  that  long  forbid  something  /happen/...

@solisaen,     tough  crowd,   huh?     ❪..❫   do  we  have  to?  

you  wouldn't.   i'm  much  stronger  than  i   look.    again. 

@solisaen,     pfft—-       i  don't  see  the  difference.     you've  known  him  for  that  long?    

he  has  been  that  way  since  we  were  children,   but  running  away  from  drills  to  come  and  see  me  certainly isn't  helping  his  temper. 

@solisaen,        i  wouldnt  say  im  causing  /trouble/...      just  that  lieutenant  ming  already  has  a  short  patience,   and  an  even  shorter  fuse.

@solisaen,       you'll  what?    drag  me  back  from  the  dead,   haha.      you  worry  too  much  gege.

you..   all  /three/  of  you  must  think  it's  funny  to  risk  your  lives.  if  you  fall,   so  /help  me/—

@solisaen,     im  not  going  to  /die/  xiulan.   it  would  take  a  lot  to  put  me  six  feet  under.   

@solisaen,     bǎosēn?    ❪..❫     huh,     i  like  it!    

i  do.    hm...   a  name...     what  do  you  think  of  the  name  băosēn,   hm?  

@solisaen,     you  want  to  suggest  one?    oh..!     uhm,     okay.

suppose  i'll  have  to  thank  him.    ..  you  wanted  to  see  me?   you  never  cease  being  the  sweetest  soldier  i've  ever  met.   let  me  get  you  some  tea. 

@solisaen,   as  one  of  the  few  soldiers  he  doesnt  have  to  spar  with  to  get  me  to  run  laps..   im  sure  he'll  give  me  a  few  minutes.    ❪..❫     i  wanted  to  see  you.

@solisaen,     i  dont  think..     do  you  want  me  to  come  inside?     

well  aren't  you  sweet!   will  you  be  staying  outside  lurking  by  my  window  or  will  you  come  inside  this  time?

@solisaen,      they  are.    i  saw  them,   and  thought  of  you.
