He shows up about a half hour later, Fairy happily wagging her tail at his side. He comes to the door this time and hopes Hanguang-Jun isn’t the one to open up. He relaxes once he sees Sizhui. ]
Yeah, I don't think so, either. I mean, I've been in enough situations with the one from my world to know that he's good despite, well, when we first ran into him on a night hunt, he wasn't yet fifteen. He's best with the bow, but he wants to prove himself no worse than anyone else, so he works very hard.
[ Sizhui actually laughs just a little bit, even as he leans down to give Fairy pets, because good girl. ]
