[baiyueguang]

She is not.

[martyrofduty]

Your omen is willful, as I suspect are you.

[baiyueguang]

In truth, our personalities could not be more at odds.

Perhaps I over-indulge her whims.

Does your own ever act so counter to your own will?

[martyrofduty]

Everyone has similarities and differences. What are yours with her?

No.

[baiyueguang]

...Plumage, perhaps. We both bear the colours of my family's sect. But I cannot think of anything that is not entirely superficial.

I envy your good fortune, however, to have such an agreeable companion.

[martyrofduty]

Your omen is a part of your soul. To be in conflict with it means you are in conflict with yourself.

It is not good fortune but relentless self-honesty.

[baiyueguang]

I cannot deny that recent events have thrown many things into turmoil.

I thank you for helping me understand this situation better. It seems I have much reflection to do.

[martyrofduty]

You are welcome.

Trench is a good but not restful place to reflect.

[baiyueguang]

One must persevere, however. Otherwise, how else can we greet the hardships this place presents us if we cannot understand the effect they have on us?

[martyrofduty]

They are not only hardships but opportunities. Our time here is what we make of it.

[baiyueguang]

I apologize for my pessimism. What you say is, indeed, true.

Have you been able to eke out a gratifying existence here?

[martyrofduty]

I have found meaningful work and relationships.

What would a gratifying existence require for you?

[baiyueguang]

I once thought I knew.

I'm not so sure now.

[martyrofduty]

You're somewhere new. You can figure it out again.

[baiyueguang]

Indeed, you are not wrong on that count.

This one asks your pardon for what he expects will be a great deal of fumbling.

[martyrofduty]

Everyone makes mistakes. It's what you do next that matters.

[baiyueguang]

[Trite, but true, he can't deny that.]

We do as we must and endure the consequences.

[martyrofduty]

What must you do?

This venerable one suspects Lan-zongzhu's omen is teasing him. In an emergency, she would surely be more cooperative.

If Lan-zongzhu believes otherwise, this venerable one is willing to remonstrate with this 'Little Jewel' until she better understands her duties to her Sleeper.

[baiyueguang]

That's quite alright, I am sure she will perform admirably in an emergency.

[He has no idea what Xiu Ya means by remonstrate, but if it's anything like what his sect does to disobedient pupils, he would never enforce that on something so small and fragile.]

If her behaviour means my soul is in turmoil, then the problem lies within myself.

[xiaoxiuya]

[Ironically she just meant she'd give Little Jewel a light scolding but hey! Easy mistake to make when you're talking to an actual chunk of metal with sharp edges.]

Understandable.

If Lan-zongzhu is troubled, he would do well to remember that he has friends willing to assist him. All that is required is that he speak to them.

This venerable one will say no more on this subject, however. Human emotions are outside this one's purview.

[Silly meatbags, she thinks.]

[baiyueguang]

[Little Jewel, no!]

[xiaoxiuya]

If this venerable one has caused offence, Little Jewel is welcome to explain her error

user id: peerless_hobo posted: I think that's enough of that >:/

Lan-gongzi, I apologize. I didn't expect Xiu Ya to pick a fight with your omen. I've put her on mute for a while and told her not discuss this subject with the two of you again.

Please pass on my apologies to Little Jewel, as well.

[baiyueguang]

I likewise apologize - I had no idea A-Bao was so aggressive.

I do hope Xiu Ya did not take offense.

[xiaoxiuya]

If she did it's only her just desserts

She's fine. If she's going to post to the network, then she needs to learn good manners first. Some issues don't need to be discussed in public, or at all.

[Wait...]

I told you guys how to change a conversation to private, right?
