Forgive me, my lord, but would you happen to be Lord Runyu's kin?

[Text] un: Xufeng

[firefalling]

I am. Who asks?

[Text]

[gentledawn]

I am Xiao Xingchen. I want to welcome you to Jikan.

[Text]

[firefalling]

Thank you. I am Xufeng. Are you a friend of my brother's?

[Text]

[gentledawn]

I am. He has been very good to me, so I was excited to hear his brother had arrived.

[Text]

[firefalling]

It is good to hear he has made friends here.

Forgive me, this method of communication feels rather cold. Would you be interested in meeting in person some time? I am living in the same complex as my brother.

[Text]

[gentledawn]

I would be honored to meet you in person! Do you like tea? I can bring some with me if you reside in the Four Seasons Manor. I too have a room there.

[Text]

[firefalling]

I do. We could meet in the garden.

[Text]

[gentledawn]

I can be there in ten minutes?

[Text]

[firefalling]

I will be there.

[He carries a tray of tea and small cakes to the garden, choosing a shady spot under one of the trees to sit down. The day is beautiful and he looks around curiously for this...brother. Runyu hadn't told him much, but family is important even if there are...difficulties.]

[Voice; UN: grapefairy]

[watergrape]

Phoenix! Phoenix! Can you hear me?

Should I be louder?

[Voice] Phoenix

[firefalling]

[ WHINCING ]

I can hear you. Who calls?

[Voice]

[watergrape]

[Oh it worked! She smiles to herself, oh so proud.]

So you really don't remember me? That's okay. Fish Fairy said you wouldn't.

[Voice]

[firefalling]

[ Much better volume, he doesn't quite rub at his poor ears.

Fish Fairy...? The only one who is from home, that he knows of, is Runyu. Which...fish fairy is a bit insulting. But if his brother doesn't mind...he'll leave it alone.

Which leaves her claiming she knows him, and that he just doesn't remember her. No, he doesn't recognize that voice. ]

Maybe telling me your name will jog my memory.

[ He doubts it, but stranger things could happen! ]

[Voice]

[watergrape]

[Excuse you, fire-bird, Fish Fairy is a loving nickname! Mainly because Jin Mi had no idea how to identify a dragon at that time. Only fish have scales, right? Right.]

I'm Jin Mi and I've saved your life three times!

[Not that she minds saving his life...]

I'm a...well...

I thought I was a half-immortal, but it turns out I'm a full one.

[Voice]

[firefalling]

Three times? [ He wants to deny that. But it feels true, so subsides.

Another immortal. But one who'd believed she was only half. ]

Thank you for your help. I would be glad to meet the one who rescued me so many times...again. I suppose.

[Voice]

[watergrape]

Mmhm! [She wouldn't lie about this, Crow. Her rescuing him means she can get more years worth of cultivation!]

You suppose? That isn't very nice. I fed you my special honey and everything.

[Hmphf.]

But... [Now she hesitates.] I'm glad you're doing okay.

[Note On His Desk~]

[watergrape]

I found a nest! It's almost too tiny to see!

Also I think we're a couple. Did you know? We live together, we hug, we kiss, we hold hands...

I'm not sure which is more surprising!

[Text]

[firefalling]

I'll have to come see it.

I agree. Does that make you happy?

[Text]

[watergrape]

I hope your eyes are still good at your age!

...yes. I like being with Phoenix.

[Text]

[firefalling]

I'll show you just how good they are!

That makes me happy to hear.

[Text]

[watergrape]

What does that mean? Will you find an even smaller nest?

Does that mean we're courting?

[Text]

[firefalling]

Maybe I will.

It means...something I would rather say in person. Where are you?

[Text]

[watergrape]

I'm with the eggs. The mother doesn't need help, but they're too cute to leave.
