@qingcynths  /  throws a sock on his uncle

@qishans,    are  you  kidding?    its  great  to  see  you  again.   i  was  just  heading  back  from  picking  some  ingredients  up.

when  you  came  to,   you  were  in  a  warm  bed,    your  uncle  smiling  down  at  you  with  a  relieved  smile.   you  were  in  qinghe,   with  a  high  fever,   but  you  were  alive.    living  with  your  uncle  and  his  two  partners  was..    nice,   although  your  heart  still  longed  to  know  that  wen  xing  and  your  dear  friend  were  alright.   by  the  time  you  would  turn  18/19,   you'd  be  going  out  on  nighthunts  for  qinghe  nie.   their  purple  hyacinth,   han  guo,   courtesy  name  yihua.

in  the  burial  mounds,    perhaps  you  were  only  five  or  six—   but  your  mind  was  well  beyond  your  years  thanks  to  the  horrors  you'd  seen.   who  could  be  the  same  when  they  witnessed  their  mother's  death  in  front  of  their  very  eyes.   you  spent  most  of  the  time  with  xing–gege  and  your  friend,   especially  when  xing–gege  would  look  after  a-yuan   when  the  yiling  laozu  wasn't  around.   but  then  the  siege  happened;     wen  xing  couldn't  find  a–yuan,   so  he  took  your  friend  into  his  arms  and  told  you  to  keep  up.   you  tried  to  keep  up,   but  you  were  already  feeling  icky  and  so  you  couldn't  keep  up  with  them.   your  eyes  were  very  heavy,   and  you  feel  asleep,   perhaps  for  the  last  time.

born  wen  guo  to   an  unnamed  man  &   a  woman  named  momei  who  hyphenated  her  last  name  to  be  "  han–wen, "    the  war  took  you  by  surprise.   you,   your  mother  and  your  childhood  friend  were  put  in  that  labor  camp.   the  group  of  three  became  four,   once  your  mother  helped  a  cultivator  who  lost  his  eye  due  to  the  guards  mistreatment.   when  she  was  murdered  by  those  same  guards,   xing–gege  became  you  &  your  friends  only  support  until  the  yiling  laozu  came  to  save  the  wen  remnants.

*   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.
