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.

[ Something that he, himself, does not really like but he knows there was nothing he could actively do about it. ]

[ His wife would probably say that if he's all smiles that things are more serious than they are. Either way, he gives the other a half smile and nods. ]

I will keep that in mind, Master Zhou. We will have to meet up for wine at some point.

[Yeah he's not buying that smile. Some people are really, really too good at hiding their agony.]

Sooner rather than later? [He wants to make sure the other man isn't about to crumble.]

[balancedwire]

[ There are only a select few that would probably be able to see past that smile. As for crumbling, he was good at keeping himself intact. Not that he'd crumble in front of someone else. ]

Pick the time and place.

[Zishu isn't such a bad person to be around when comfort is needed. He is practiced in giving it and he is genuine in his affection.]

Tonight. I share a home with Xiao Xingchen. [Directions follow.] Can you make your way there? I don't mind coming to you.

[balancedwire]

[ Most of Xie Yun's comfort had come from the monks of Penglai. The very ones who raised him. ]

I can make my way there. You do not have to come to me.

[eternallywandering]

Be vigilant and I will have something strong to drink. [Or tea if Xie Yun prefers. Zishu isn't the best about limiting his use of alcohol.]

[balancedwire]

As long as it's good wine.

[ Xie Yun doesn't mind tea but he prefers a good wine. ]

[eternallywandering]

I can't promise anything spectacular, but it is drinkable.

[Don't they all.]

[balancedwire]

That is all anyone can ask for.
