Oh, um. We've been pretty good? We won the game and that was fun... We're hoping for a nice outdoor space since the woods are, um. Dangerous.

[demonvinegar]

[ YOU DON'T SAY ]

Yes, they are rather dangerous that's true. What brought the idea about? Is Magus-gongzi getting restless?

[bowtiedbones]

It was my idea, actually. I like the outdoors, but I don't feel safe outside here. Professor Kongxu is going to teach me to use a sword, but that's still... Even if I practice everyday, I'll still be a super, super beginner-level beginner against any monster. So if we could get a fenced area, that would be nice.

[demonvinegar]

[ quickly, without even thinking-- ]

I could teach you. I would be a far kinder and more patient teacher.

[blinks? but she's a sharp student? kongxu always says so]

Um— I'm not opposed to more teachers, but I think you'd have to talk to him if you want to TA...? It'd be really rude if I hired someone else before lessons even started. Especially when he's cleaning the sword up for me and everything.

[ the truth is he just doesn't want her to learn from shen qingqiu.

when that reality catches up to him, followed by remembering that he was just killed by shen qingqiu, he mentally kicks himself. ]

My shizun isn't a very kind man. He used to have me whipped for my mistakes when I was a child... and they were many. [ many of which he didn't even understand what he did wrong ]

[bowtiedbones]

…What is wrong with your school.

[first chemistry, then Bai Zhan Peak, now this?]

[ on one hand Cang Qiong Mountain Sect doesn't even like him anymore and he very recently attempted to literally burn the whole place down ]

[ on the otherhand that's his childhood sect 8( ]

Cang Qiong Mountain Sect is one of the world's most prestigious sects. There's nothing wrong with discipline. [ except if he's given the chance he WILL leverage his sad sad childhood of getting whipped by his shizun to farm pity points ]

[bowtiedbones]

You're right that kind of discipline would be too much for me. But I don't think I, um... have to worry about getting hit. He's just teaching me as a favor, I don't need to be disciplined?

[demonvinegar]

[ ... in the large scheme of things, shizun teaching someone isn't a problem. but he already knows that shizun favors Eowyn. and he's honestly in such a sensitive mood right now for some mysterious reason. how can he prevent this from happening? does he have to tear off shizun's arms so he can't teach anyone else? ]

Don't Eowyn-guniang's strengths lie more in scholarly pursuits and demonic cultivation?

[bowtiedbones]

Yeah, but it’s dangerous here and the one familiar I have with me isn’t suited to fighting. I don’t have enough energy to summon a stronger creature.
