It looks like my A-Fei is nowhere to be found and I've searched everywhere. Which I'm sure, and hope, it means that she's back home with her cousins and the children there. There was a lot that we'd been through. So, if you don't see her around it's because she's no longer here.

[ Her sword was the strongest he's made. ]

If she's home then she's with the children of the 48 Stronghold and training them in the way of the sword.

[ His heart aches but he won't show it. ]

[downswing]

( If. And should he tell this poor man of the labyrinth...?

What use? )

She cared for children.

You will yet join her.

[balancedwire]

We both cared for children.

You think I'll disappear in the middle of the night? Like she did.

[downswing]

We await the delivery of a beacon. I pray it reunites you.

[balancedwire]

If it doesn't then I will still be here to help where help is needed. Or to forge whatever others need.

[downswing]

Xie Yun.

It is permissible to grieve.

[balancedwire]

Lan Wangji.

There is no time to grieve, not now.

[downswing]

You need not accept counsel.

[balancedwire]

What I need? Is to find something that will keep me busy. Whether that be forging weapons or something else altogether.

[downswing]

Let us give peace to this citadel.

Take your sword.

[balancedwire]

I will gladly give peace to this citadel.

[downswing]

She would wish it done.

[balancedwire]

She would and yet wouldn't. She was always afraid of me fighting and using my internal energy after I was poisoned back home. A-Fei was still getting used to me fighting and nothing bad happening.

[downswing]

Then, you fight with care.

[balancedwire]

I am no longer affected by such things. However, I will still fight with care.

[downswing]

Assistance thanked.
