[Guangyao is a cautious man - and for good reason! He doesn't like revealing himself unless absolutely necessary and thus this network message is a bit...delayed. However he is smiling warmly as if all is well.]

I admit I had not thought to go on campaign again so soon! However the company has made the journey more than worthwhile. [He could be lying and he probably was; he has made a habit out of making just about anyone in his company feel special (even if he couldn't care less about them).] Please forgive my tardiness in introducing myself: I am Jin Guangyao, leader of the Lanling Jin.

[A role he covets and protects with his wits - and his insanity.]

Am I familiar to anyone? Even if I'm not, I am happy to assist where help is needed.

Of course.

[ Sizhui considers for a moment. Then, even though he has only caught very random bits and pieces about the occasion, ]

When you said earlier that Madam Jin looked for you... was that by chance during a conference when Hanguang-jun and senior Mo arrived, as well? If not so, please forgive me for asking.

[malicing]

...it was...yes. After the meetings had concluded for the day. [He looks perplexed that such details would be known to Sizhui.]

Did something happen that night?

[paperbutterflies]

I... am sorry, I only know very small bits and pieces and we are not allowed to gossip. I am asking because Jingyi and I were there at Mo Village when things happened and he was the only one left, and then we were there with Hanguang-jun and senior Mo before they headed out to the conference with Zewu-jun, while we returned to the Cloud Recesses.

I only asked as I am sure there have been many times when Madam Jin has sought you out, and what you remember may have been years earlier. Time can be complicated, here.

[malicing]

The time of which you speak is correct. Obviously she would seek me out frequently as her husband, but we are in accord on the day. [All of this is making his stomach clench. There are two bits of information that could ruin his marriage and if Qin Su ever discovers them...]

This isn't fair to you, young lord. I will ask another about that night.

[paperbutterflies]

[ And both go over as well as expected. Sizhui's condolences. ]

Thank you, former sect leader Jin. There are people here who were there, they can tell you if they are willing to.

[malicing]

[Like lead balloons.]

I will seek them out. [Carefully. Armed.] Take care of yourself.
