Xue Yang. [He has nothing to hide; of course he is associated with the delinquent! This is totally normal. Nothing to worry about here. Please move on.] I wish to speak with you at your earliest opportunity.

[Then, in a softer tone, as Meng Yao moves to his art easel, lifting a brush gracefully.]

Zewu-Jun, Lady Yanli... May I offer my condolences? I have noticed...an absence. If I am mistaken, please correct me.

[Is he watching their house? Noooope. He would never.]

For everyone else, would you suggest purchasing a home in the city or outside of the city's limits?

Life will be easier for you if you do. [He is proud.] I am saving to buy a car. If anything happens to the cities, I will come to you.

I could certainly use a little more ease in my life here...

[ He misses being in Carp Tower where his every need was seen to. ]

I doubt you would trust me with your errands, however I do offer assistance.

[He knows how to be a servant.]

I have been having most of the items I need delivered. It is an extra expense, but the convenience is worth it.

If that suits you...

Have you discovered a reliable source for tea?

Not one of any quality to speak of. I'm open to recommendations.

I can bring you a box of suitable leaves and petals.

[ Somehow, without him meaning to or quite knowing how it got there, the conversation has turned back to Zixuan relying on his brother to do things for him. Sure, it's something small, but he realizes what a slippery slope this is. ]

That would be appreciated. Once I know where you got it from, I can purchase it for myself.

There is a little shop that provides me with all I need. I will give you their address. [The box came from them if there is any concern.] I promised to send them costumers from my...ah...time period? They were fascinated.

[ He lets out a sardonic laugh. ]

To think, we're a fascination to these people. How small their lives must be.

Would you be impressed by someone from centuries in the past? [Maybe...not. But it would be interesting?]

If we were at home, where time flows linearly, perhaps I would be. But this world can bring people from any point in time. It doesn't seem all that impressive to me, just happenstance.

Isn't it fascinating that it has chosen so many of us? [He has wondered if there is a darker reason for it.] You may not be awed, but I am...suspicious.

Suspicious?

[ He had never given much thought into the reasons they all might be here. He was just glad that he was safe, and so was Yanli. Even if it had been confusing that when he arrived, she was nine years old. ]

You think there is some kind of malicious intent behind our presence here?

Yes. [The small comforts, while nice, are not enough to distract him. But he is unlikely to make a move with Xichen present; he has no desire to hurt that man further.]

I would not be surprised if there was, brother. The truth will be revealed in time.

[ Hm. ]

Perhaps you see connections where I do not. But... What motive could such an orchestrator have in kidnapping so many people and giving them unimaginable power?

What if we are meant to fight a war for them? They can use us as tools and then dispose of us once they are finished. [No one likes to be a tool.]

You think this world has war on the horizon?

[ It would make sense, if one needed to build an army, to recruit those most suited for the task. But... ]

There are children among the imPort community. Surely they can't be meant to fight a war?

It could.

[He has an unfortunate expertise in starting wars. But this one has nothing to do with him. Yet.]

I don't know. I think we should do all we can to protect them.

We will have to.

[ It won't just be the children Zixuan aims to protect. He must protect Lady Jiang as well.

And if it comes to war then... Well, they'll at least be prepared. ]

I trust you will protect Lady Jiang and any child that crosses your path.

[Because his brother is much kinder than he lets on.]

Of course I will. That shouldn't even be called into question.

[ Kinder, and far less humble. ]

I am not questioning it. I know your nature. I knew it too well and that is how I used it against you.

I will never do so again.
