There is a child. His name is Xia Sini.

[Those who know Chinese may realize that name is a homophone for 'Scare You to Death'.]

Don't mind him. He can take care of himself.

[Aka, that five year old is him running around trying to conserve medicine. This is not child neglect. He just doesn't want to admit to being a five year old and he's shit at lying.]



Private to Wen Qing

Miss Wen. I understand things have been busy but have you had the chance to replicate my medicine?

[ ...Is Five still the only one who knows? ]

He has a name now?

[wooden_one]

[This isn't something he plans to ever let anyone else know. Five wasn't even meant to find out.]

He has had one for a while.

[Technically since the moment his disciples had found him in that form the first time, when Chu Wanning had had to come up with one on the spot.]

[somebadnews]

[ He doesn't know what to do about knowing. It's been so long he'd forgotten all about his problem until it came up again.

Really a surprise he lasted this long. ]

How often has he been showing up?

[wooden_one]

It was too dangerous in Alem for him to show his face.

[Which is to say, he was spending all his time fighting and fighting and had no time to save more of the medicine while they were under siege.]

Where we're headed might not be better.

[wooden_one]

No. But I am looking into a solution for that.

How’s that going?
