That sounds reasonable.

I know I want to return to that bar at the top of the tall building. The one with the colorful drinks. But not today.

[daozhangs]

I would like that.

[legbreakings]

Then I will take you there. We will try all the colorful drinks that look like poison that I didn't dare try the first time.

Do you have your glowing eyes back?

[daozhangs]

We've just awoken here, how could I possibly have them back so quickly?

[legbreakings]

I wondered if they would be returned to you like our cultivation. I guess that was too hopeful an assumption.

I left my room and made my way downstairs. There is terrible music playing and I found food.

[daozhangs]

It would certainly have been a delightful surprise.

I, too, have ventured downstairs. I confess that I've largely kept clear of the areas from which the music (if you're certain that such is the intended purpose) seems to originate, as I find that my navigation remains far too reliant on the cues provided by sound. One can assume that it won't be an issue once I've reaccustomed to navigating by way of qi.

[legbreakings]

My first guess had been that it is a torture instrument but GEEVES assured me that this is what they call music here in Felfri. Amazing, I never realized you could create something so ugly and still call it art.

I'm glad you have your qi sight back. If there is anything I can do to help you adjust faster...

[daozhangs]

One can call most anything 'art'. The term is subjective, is it not?

Regarding my adjustment, I think that it would be of great assistance if you might resist all instinctual urge to be of assistance, however appreciated that sentiment may be. You can rest well assured that I'm at no risk of colliding with the furniture. ( he'll just be a little bit slower and more deliberate in his movements until it comes naturally again. )

[legbreakings]

What is wrong with my assistance! My assistance is very helpful and well-intentioned!

[ Oh, what a rude husband he has! Jiang Cheng makes a face at his phone though in truth he is only just amused. ]

Fine, fine, I won't bully anyone or start a brawl trying to find you.

[daozhangs]

Your assistance is indispensible, airen, as is your company if you should choose to locate me by less violent means. I only meant that I will reacclimate to the task far more quickly if I haven't been rescued from doing so.

[legbreakings]

No. No. You are right. You learned this by yourself, and you have mastered it by yourself. I should not hover now, and keep you from relearning your important skills. Please don't believe that I doubt your skill or your independence. I just. I tend to hover, I guess.

[daozhangs]

I love you, too.

[legbreakings]

[ Oh. Oh. Now he is feeling all hot and flustered. And terribly warmed in his grumpy little heart. ]

Don't say such embarrassing things, or I'll break your legs!

[daozhangs]

There are certainly worse fates.

[legbreakings]

You

Why are you

You're not supposed to agree with me!

[daozhangs]

Have I not agreed with you every single time?

Apart from the time by the lake, I suppose, but then you'd demanded I not be agreeable.

[legbreakings]

I think so?

Well you've flustered me, anyway!

But I love you, too. So relearn quickly.

[daozhangs]

I intend to.
