I beg receipt of humble gift.

My gratitude.

1/2

[snowcleave]

Master Lan, it is barely worth mentioning. You have done a service to me by fighting beside Xie Yun when I was not here to do it. My gratitude.

2/2

[snowcleave]

[ After a minute or two because she can't sustain good manners for any length of time– ]

I wonder if you would talk with me about your sword, and your martial arts. When you were finally able to fight, you were very capable.

[downswing]

( W h e n. )

[downswing]

Apologies. Wangji dallied.

[snowcleave]

Your sword would have broken if you tried to use it against the arrows. Youhuang was well suited for the purpose. You fought when you could fight.

You said your sword is a spiritual weapon?

[downswing]

She honours me.

Your weapon is hollowed?

[snowcleave]

No, but Youhuang is forged with ancient methods.

You're in Eidris?

[downswing]

Mournfully, no. My soulmate.

[snowcleave]

Wei Wuxian. He rides his dragon very well.

Very cheerful.

When we are all together again, Xie Yun will roast duck for us four. You will show me your sword and you can see mine.

[downswing]

'Cheerful.'

[downswing]

Humbly, no hospitality required.

[snowcleave]

Why would it be? I am offering. If Master Lan wishes to keep his sword to himself I will just watch closer the next battle.

[downswing]

I owe a life's debt. Do not wish to bolster it with inconvenience.

[snowcleave]

Then, you will roast the duck?

[ It better be as good as Xie Yun's. ]

[downswing]

Respectfully decline.

[snowcleave]

You will not bring your husband to dinner at all?

[downswing]

My people do not partake of flesh.

[snowcleave]

Vegetables and talk of good weapons it is.

[downswing]

You always attain that which you desire?

[snowcleave]

All I seek is to be worthy of the earth, Master Lan. However, the auspiciousness of meeting another master warrants a conversation about methods.

[ So, yes. ]

[downswing]

Worthy of earth, not of the heavens?



( An interesting perspective. Most are concerned with their spirit in life ever after, not in this plane of existence. )

[snowcleave]

In seeking one, is the other not found?

[downswing]

The riches of the earth often invite sin beneath the heavens.

[snowcleave]

The satisfaction of a clear conscience should be all the riches one desires.
