@lordearths,     i  can..   only  imagine  how  that  must  have  felt. 

"  i  think  that's  what  makes  her  cooking  bearable,     the  fact  she  makes  it  from  love.    ah,    together?    you  have  to  promise!    that  way,   its  a  guaranteed  thing.  "

@lordearths,     good.     she..   enjoys  making  meals  for  you.    i  suppose  the  sun  isn't  set  to  go  down  for  a  while  longer—   if  you  finish  your  meal,   we  can  train  afterward.    how  does  that  sound?   "

"   ah.     no,     its  fine.    her  cooking  is..  an  acquired  taste,   but  ill  eat.   "     

@banyued,    he  is..  our  son.   we  are  sending  him  to  the  cloud  recesses  to  study  together.   he  should  not  be  the  only  one  with  my  surname..

he's  grown  a  lot.    mhm..     he's  become  quite  adept  with  the  sword.    (...)     ?!    ah..    ahem..    oh,   that's  ..

@banyued,     ..   it  does.   i  suppose  im  just  glad  he's  comfortable  enough  to  do  so.   (..)  pei  yue  has  a  nice  ring  to  it  as  well. 

@lordearths,     i'm  aware.   she's  trying  to  learn  to  cook.   pretend  for  the  mean  time. 

'   okay,    but  ..   stew  isn't  supposed  to  be  purple.   not  like  this.  '

@lordearths,    ...   yes.    you'll  have  to  pretend  like  you're  taking  a  bite. 

*    here  &   ban  yue  kicks  feet

im  on  my  way  to  tell  her.    mhm,    ive  no  doubt  ^^    that  being  said  pei  xiu,   i  hope  you're  treating  her  well.

@xianled,     ..   and  have  you  told  ban  yue  yet?   she'll  be  thrilled  to  see  you  again.   we  don't  live  far  from  the  main  city. 

it  wont  be.    after  all..   you're  still  important  to  me.   mortal  or  god,     you  are  still  my  childhood  sweetheart.   it  doesn't  matter  to  me.

@banyued,    ..   i'm  mortal  now.   i'm  sure  i'll  remain  mortal  for  quite  some  time.   i've  no  idea  when  what  remains  of  heaven  will  allow  me  to  ascend  again.   won't  that  be  a  burden  to  your  travels?

pei  xiu,     thats..      i  just  wish  you  could  forgive  yourself  as  ive  forgiven  you.   [..]   travel  with  me,     please.    id  want  nothing  more  than  to  be  by  your  side  again.

not  really..    ive  met  him  a  few  times.   mister  san  lang  is..   nice?    diē  has  mentioned  that  he  feels  familiar  somehow.

@banyued,     oh?  ..  i  suppose  that's  not  really  anything  to  worry  about.   have  you  asked  him  about  it?

very  busy  given  his  new  job..    but  he  seems..   happy?   he's  been  exchanging  letters  i  think  with  a  soldier  that  was  stationed  in  banyue  when  he  was  there.

general  hua?     it  wouldnt  hurt!     its  been  awhile  since  ive  seen  him  too.

@banyued,   i  ..   see.    would  you  be  opposed  to  asking  his  highness  for  help?   

no..  not  talking.   more  like..    using  a  stick  to  write  characters  into  the  dirt.    (...)    i  almost  didn't  ..   recognize  the  characters.
