Wen Ning lives with us, and yes, he has changed from how he looked before - he was here from before, when we first arrived, but then he disappeared and showed up on the Iris moon from later than I am, if not by too much.

[ Sizhui doesn't choke about I feel like I'm your bother, but only because he's neither eating nor drinking yet. Only his fingers clench a little around the robes over his thighs. ]

Hanguang-Jun...

Most people call me Sizhui. But of course you may call me what you wish, it might take a little time before I remember you mean me. [ He cups his hands in front of him and bows slightly. ] Please forgive me if that happens, I mean no disrespect.

Hanguang-Jun turned out to have been outside, along with Senior Wei, and they came in partway through our dinner. Some tried to hide the alcohol, but he Hanguang-Jun did not pay attention to it, not at that time. I suppose because we weren't at the Cloud Recesses...

... there may be more rules there now than what you knew.
