I will not.

But even the closest ties of blood have people separate, if only to meet again - and, Hanguang-jun, he is not here now, why are you thinking of him?

[downswing]

His sister. Your aunt.

It... when we first met, it was on the ship. There were memories missing because of the mirror. But if she will have it, I would like to learn about her, too. And from her.

[ ... also another trained healer shouldn't be a bad thing, right? ]

[downswing]

She is a woman as steel.

[paperbutterflies]

Does the fact that someone is strong mean that they have to bear all that they can bear?

[ ... this might apply towards Hanguang-jun himself, too. Among other things. ]

[downswing]

How will strength keep, untried?

[paperbutterflies]

What do those who are strong and yet break under too much trying do?

[downswing]

Find abyss.

[paperbutterflies]

[ That... doesn't seem the kindest way to treat people, but Sizhui supposes it is true enough. ]

Yes, Hanguang-jun.
