[weifinder]

That's all I would ask of you.

Thank you.

[downswing]

What spurs you to aid him?

[weifinder]

Safety of those I care for.

[downswing]

You see your face on his own.

[weifinder]

A shadow, yes. We don't think along the same lines in many things.

[downswing]

For his sister.

[weifinder]

Because how he defends his sister, his brother, his siblings, is not how I have.

[downswing]

...Wei Ying.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan?

[downswing]

Not even you could have saved everyone.

[weifinder]

No one can. Working together, we can try to limit the losses. Just took too long to understand there were those who would stand side by side and try.

[downswing]

To learn late is not to neglect.

[weifinder]

It isn't.

Which is why I speak with you.

[downswing]

Perhaps... Jiang Cheng and you should reconstruct her tablet.

[weifinder]

Ah... yes. We should.

[downswing]

You fear he will deny you.

[weifinder]

( ...................... he's touched and also vaguely uncomfortable he's this Known. )

That may in fact be true, yes.

[downswing]

He will not, in this.

[weifinder]

Then I'll try to be brave.

[downswing]

You have never known a day of cowardice.

[weifinder]

When it comes to the ones I care for most, I have.

[downswing]

But learned.

[weifinder]

Little by little. I fear his loss more.

[downswing]

Sizhui?

[weifinder]

I've mourned him once.

I have no plans to do so again.
