[ Is that even close to the worst that Senior Wei has gotten him into?

Nope. ]

Of course, Hanguang-jun. What assignments, and when?

[downswing]

Only an inspection of form. Casual drills.

[sizhui]

Of course. I am ready.

[ It is what he learned, from that last time at the Burial Mound.

There is no time when you can be not ready. Even if times to let your guard down are impossible to avoid, still you have to be ready.

This place, for all its dangers being... different, has only driven that lesson home. ]

[downswing]

The time and place of your choosing.

[sizhui]

Tomorrow then? I can come after the morning training, or instead of the morning training.

wtf how did I miss this

[downswing]

After the warming drills. Not your full exercise.

dw has been weird with notifs

[sizhui]

Of course! I will be ready.

[downswing]

Do not overprepare.

Display leisurely. As instinct guides.

[sizhui]

[ Well, that makes him blink. ]

I did not mean overpreparing for this. But for simply... what may happen, is there overpreparation? No matter how much the training, how careful the preparation, there is always... something which takes one by surprise, isn't there?

[downswing]

You cannot live for the sword. Only allow its service.

[sizhui]

OH! Yes, I think I understand, now. The sword is one tool, an important one to master but not the only one.

[downswing]

An instrument, not an end goal.

[sizhui]

Yes, Hanguang-jun. My understanding may still be imperfect, but what it is is that cultivation and making life better for people as the main goals. The sword is an instrument. The music is also an instrument. And knowledge is an instrument. But none of them can achieve what is needed without a will and mind and discipline to make it all work together.

[downswing]

Without heart also.

[sizhui]

Without heart also.

That is the most difficult to submit to self-restraint, is it not?

[downswing]

You ask for yourself or another?

[sizhui]

How much can it be self-restraint if one is asking another?

But I was curious if it is something you have observed, too.

[downswing]

Lan Sizhui.




( Who taught you to overstep so brazenly? )

[sizhui]

Here, Hanguang-jun!




[ Do you even need to ask...

Though he didn't really mean to overstep but ask about observation-- ah, but intent matters little, doesn't it? ]

[downswing]

Consult the disciplines.

[sizhui]

Would that be considered gossip, then, Hanguang-jun, and not an attempt to learn and understand?

[downswing]

Wei Ying, do not speak recklessly.

[sizhui]

Oh, would that be what young master Wei would say?

I do apologize if the rules were broken, I truly was trying to figure out how to keep them more properly, the spirit, not only the letter.

[downswing]

The hour is late.

I overtire you. My excuses.



( Children of this age are impossible. )

[sizhui]

No, I'm fi

I will see you tomorrow, then!
