[Oh jeez. Oh boy.]

What, Da ge hasn’t told you anything?

I’ll tell you. I don’t think it’s a secret. I just didn’t think to tell you about it until now..

[At least, not the parts she mostly knows. She can more or less tell the truth.]

[mingyues]

I believe that the only serious conversation I'll have with your Da-ge is when I tie him down and interrogate him. But no, he has not said much and neither has Zichen.
I was just curious, I feel
I feel a bit odd that you know me so much better than I know you.
That is all.

[ he thinks... there are maybe a lot of secrets about his future. no, well, he knows there are things that won't be discussed. things that he wants to ask but hasn't because he feels like he is prying. ]

[firstkissofsteel]

I don’t think he’d be serious even then.

But okay. We met because I stole someone’s money and you caught me. You scolded me, but when the guy realized and tried to attack me for it you protected me. Da ge and I weren’t together at the time because sometimes it’s easier to do this stuff by yourself than in a group.

We’d been split up for a while actually. Anyway, I bugged you until you agreed to let me travel with you. After a while we found da ge on the side of a road. He was all beat up for some reason and you insisted on carrying him on your back all the way to the next town.

We lived there together. That’s about all I know. We were just... I don’t know. A family, I guess. You and da ge went out at night, you gave us a piece of candy every day. You were still really kind, and da ge made you laugh with stupid jokes all the time.

You were terrible at telling stories.

[ nothing she says sounds out of the ordinary. in fact, just the opposite. xiao xingchen would have saved xue yang, even if he had known who he was from the start. he probably would have arrested him and dragged him to be judged again but he would have spared his life.

her words put him at ease. this all fits, it all makes sense and slots neatly into the information he already had. what xue yang had said.

sometime after all, somewhere in-between perhaps, zichen had been killed by xue yang and xiao xingchen had been unable to do anything. he had not been there for zichen, had not saved him.

and rather than satisfied, he feels as if there are so many more questions he ought to ask. but not a-qing, she wouldn't know. ]

I see.
Thank you, A-Qing
I just

I do not want to let you down [deleted;]
I am not even that much older than you here, am I?

[firstkissofsteel]

I wouldn’t worry so much about that Daozhang. It’s not like you’ve changed that much, I don’t think. You’re still you. If we liked you in the future, of course we’ll like you now.

I don’t think so. Honestly I don’t know my own age that well. I think it’s around 17? Give or take. I don’t think you’re the much older. But you still treat me like such a little kid!!

Have you considered enrolling in some sort of activity here? You might meet people your own age. Make friends and do
Well, whatever it is young people do.

[ shut up xiao xingchen you're barely a year older than a-qing. ]

Sorry, we really are almost the same age.
I will try not to treat you like a little kid.
