...   you're  not  really  human,   are  you?

waterlornes

@zhenzhus,    sometimes  the  dead  are  unable  to  move  on,   and  they  become  a  ghost  of  one  of  four  ranks.  (...)     she  does,   but  i  have...   cause  to  believe  you  are  her  reincarnation..

zhenzhus

..    a   ghost?  you—-    (..)   what  are  you  talking  about?   if  that's  the  case,   what  are  you  doing  around  me?  i'm  sure  your  mission  needs  you.
• Balas

waterlornes

@zhenzhus⸒    she  did.    or  rather..   (..)    a  ghost,    though  i  mean  you  no  harm.   i  just...   wished  to  make  sure  her  reincarnation  lives  a  long  life,   longer  than  my  miao  got  to.

zhenzhus

you'd  be  so  much  more  handsome  if  you  smiled,   a-sheng!    you  should  eat  something.   i  made  it!   just  a  little  bite.

zhenzhus

you're  their  only  son,  a-sheng.    i  believe  they  have  every  right  to  worry.     i  have  already  told  you..   no  matter  the  situation,   it  is  you  i  care  about.   i  would  have  said  yes  whether  you  were  the  richest  man  in  the  village  or  one  of  the  beggars.

waterlornes

@zhenzhus⸒    they  worry  too  much  as  is.    (...)     ahem.    that..  i  was  still  prepared  for  you  to  say  no.
• Balas

zhenzhus

and  worry  your  parents  and  your  poor  baby  sister?   not  at  all!   hm?   well..  why  wouldn't  i?   it  is  not  like  anyone  else  was  chasing  after  my  hand!
• Balas

zhenzhus

who..   who's  there?   stop  lurking  in  the  shadows  and  come..   come  out  already!

waterlornes

@zhenzhus⸒    that  is...   unfortunate.    it  could  be  refurnished  for  someone  who  needs  a  home.    and  yet...    [..]    ah,    don't  let  the  ramblings  of  one  traveler  sway  you.   its  just..   odd,   i  suppose.
• Balas

zhenzhus

what  do  i  need  another  home  for?   besides..  the  village  elders  already  made  their  decisions.   the  shrine  is  going  to  be  destroyed  in  the  coming  days.
• Balas

waterlornes

@zhenzhus,    if  it's  not  in  use,   then  why  not  use  it  for  shelter?    or...   anything.

tanhuas

you  don't  have  to  take  my  advice,   but  sending  a  lantern  up  in  her  honor  might  get  rid  of  your  scowl.

tanhuas

has  she?  ..   it  would  seem  she  was  waiting on  you.
• Balas

waterlornes

@tanhuas,     ...   there's  no  need  for  that.   she's...    reincarnated.
• Balas

tanhuas

it  would  seem  you  two  had  quite  the  time.   you've  paint  in  your  hair,   /little  brother/.

waterlornes

@tanhuas,    ..   refuse  to  answer  that.   anyway,  i  told  the  kid  to  wash  up  and  get  ready  for  bed.   he's  probably  in  the  washroom.
• Balas

tanhuas

and  did  you  help  or  were  you  the  canvas?   and  where  is  he  now?
• Balas

waterlornes

@tanhuas,   ...  don't  you  /dare./    he  heard  about  that  ox  cart  story  and  decided  he  /had/  to  paint  it.
• Balas

tanhuas

i  believe  i  told  you  to  send  me  a  warning  before  you  showed  up  here.   what  do  you  want?   i'm  busy.

waterlornes

@tanhuas,    it  was  a  /busy/  day  in  heaven,   okay?   are  you  interested  or  not.   he  made  quite  the  ruckus.
• Balas

tanhuas

younger  still.    (..)    he  has?   and  you  are  only  telling  me  this  /now/?
• Balas

waterlornes

@tanhuas,     im  a  devastation  just  as  you  are.     ...    your  prince.   he  ascended  this  morning.
• Balas

tanhuas

put  it  down.    it's  for  the  kid.

waterlornes

@tanhuas,      you  keep  raising  the  debt  everytime  something  inconveniences  you.   ridiculous...   i  haven't  seen  you  like  this  besides  when  you  talk  about  your  prince.
• Balas

tanhuas

you  can  indulge  in  the  food  i  provide  when  you  /pay  me/.   he's  been  enjoying  himself.   do  not  ruin  this  for  him.
• Balas

waterlornes

@tanhuas,      this  is  ridiculous...
