@yueites,    oh  yes.   im  sure  i  will  pay  dearly  for  making  you  food.

you  are  a  monster  and  you  will  pay  for  the  torture  you  have  inflicted  upon  me. 

@yueites,    haha  yes!    here  you  go.

@yueites,    ehe.   sorry,     i  got  ahead  of  myself.  still!   i  do  like  hanging  out  with  the  two  of  you.    lord  yin  shui  is  kind  as  well.   the  palace  of  tranquility  feels  like  a  second  home,    as  weird  as  it  sounds.

ah,   perhaps...   another  time?   i  do  not  wish  to  make  things  awkward.   lord  yin  shui's  juniors  and  i  are  not  as  close  as  you  seem  to  believe.   he  and  i  are  just  a  bit  closer.

@yueites,     ill  come  with  you!   oh,   oh,   and  we  can  drag  another  one  of  lord  yin  shui's  juniors  too.   ...?   the  tall  one  who  smiles  a  lot.   

—    the  child  of  a  yong'an  woman  &  a  servant  from  yong'ans  palace,    and  the  nephew  of  the  crown  prince's  bodyguard.    his  parents  were  killed  the  night  of  the  gilded  banquet,   as  well  as  his  er–jiu  and  da–jiu.    
            —     he  was  on  his  own  until  he  was  15,   when  he  was  found  by  lang  qianqiu,   who  had  been  looking  for  him  since  he  received  news  of  lang  mohan  dying.   he  became  one  of  lang  qianqiu's  junior  officials.   
            —    hyper  independent.   he  will  never  reach  out  first,   you  have  to  make  sure  he  knows  its  okay  to  be  unable  to  do  everything  yourself.  
            —   carries  his  father's  sword  and  his  mother's  bow  wherever  he  goes.   the  splitting  image  of  his  father,   but  he  has  the  soft,  caring  yet  firm  nature  of  his  mother.

do  as  you  please.    (..)   i've  discussed  matters  with  general  nan  yang.   once  lanfen  recovers,   he  will  not  be  leaving  heaven  until  next  autumn.   i  understand  he  is  your  ..   friend. 

@engmtics,     ...    he  hasn't?     (...)       uhm..   may  i..   leave  the  flowers  i  brought?   

@sunofficials !!

*   here,    his  mom  &  lanfen!

really.    this  little  friend  of  yours  completely  has  my  approval  to  start  courting  you,   but  as  soon  as  he  messes  up,   that  approval  will  vanish!   

@pearlisen,    i  hope  baba  goes  easy  on  him.    [...]      ah.    ////     really?    we..   already  work  together.   our  generals  have  to  interact  since  theyre  the  gods  of  the  southwest  and  southeast,   so  we've  always  worked  together.

i  don't  think  you'd  like  to  see  them  interrogating  him  about  every  little thing.    mm..   a  dog?  well.   that's  quite  the  big  step!   he  seems  like  a  good  boy.   i..   think  he'd  be  good  for  you. 

su..   super  special  mama  senses.   she  could  find  her  little  huang'er  anywhere,   no..   matter  what.   i  know  this  is  hard,   sweetheart,   but  you  have  to...  to  do  this.   mama  and  baba  will  see  you  soon.  so  will  your  uncles.   you're  so  strong.  

@pearlisen,      huang'er  can  do  that..   b-  but  if  the  boat  leaves...   how  will  mama  and  baba  find  me?    i  dont  want  to  go..

i-i  know..   i  know.   you're  alright..   they  are  too.   they'll  be  okay.   i..  i  want  you  to  go  on  the  boat  and  then  i  want  you  to  be  very..   q-quiet  and  /hide/.   can  huang'er  do  that?

oh,   look  at  that!   my  little  mantou  is  such  a  talented  artist!   should  it  go  on  the  wall  so baba  may  see  it  when  he  comes  home?

@pearlisen,    a  drawing!!    look,   look  mama!   theres  you  and  me  and  baba,   and  uncle  mohan  and  uncle  shixian!
