・❥・you were running around the mundane streets ready to stir up a meal to commence your crafty war. yet you were stopped by a familiar face. a cold red one-piece, black loafers and tights.. you could imagine who it was. but the pulse in your head failed to let you decipher the girl's name. "traveler, lady ningguang has called you into the jade chamber. please, inscribe this so i can give it to her as a signal of your soon-to-be arrival." formal in words, the girl stepped a foot back expecting a smile from me. you nod, my arms full in the flier. returning it to the secretary, you resume the start on your journey.

・❥・you make your way onto the lifty jade chamber, expecting that ningguang needs something for you, like... construction work help, or retrieving something that'll come in handy. after a short presentation of your appearance in the jade chamber, going into the empty dining hall, the platinum white accompanied woman requested to appear. "ah yes, i didn't expect you to arrive as unseasonably as wanted. that's alright, traveler." she set down her glass, still neat in her words. "it's been years, at most, right? i can barely see you down there." ningguang, who seems oh kind and friend-like during a day at work can be very relentless in business, except her work is business.

・❥・you nod as the conversation takes an unrecognizable flow. as more regions glide into your arms, you slowly lose the people which chose to be a part of my life, yet you could detect the baring pains that come with never having them. ningguang smiles at you, eyes laid straight. you take long to realize you forgot to speak, and probably weren't listening to deeply either. "apologies, am i going to fast? um, allow me to rewind-" you attempted to make sure you were listening to her words more than listening to your mind. after an unexpected request, you nod and put some food in your bag before leaving. it hasn't been a short time, at all, since your last break. instead, feeling like taking a break feels like cheating. you suppose, that's the daily life of a warrior.

・❥・you head to a beside inn where your 'quest' was to just relax and have a talk. the inn was quite like a rest lodge for labor workers, as the style and facility heavily featured that. as the elderly and wise of the world speak, "all of history is laying right in front of your eyes wherever you leap, you simply just don't put your mind into its beauty." - you're left alone until the familiar face enters, disrupting the coteries beside you. ningguang brought a sweet glass of cherry tea. the two of you continued to talk about your journeys and ningguang gave you a talk about the future and the organizations she knew that could possibly cater to your needs.
