{Guess what he located? A pipa. It isn't his pipa, but it is a pretty instrument, carved out of golden wood.

For the enjoyment of the network, he performs a piece. The name of the piece is ironic (and fitting). "Attack on All Sides" does nicely summarize his current predicament.

When the piece concludes, he looks into the communicator with a faint, sad smile.}


Any requests?

Look up to the trees.

[ He twirls his xiao and gives a bit of a laugh, shaking his head at the question. ]

I climbed up here. If I had wanted to I guess I could have jumped and landed just fine, but I prefer climbing to flying or jumping.

[ Just don't tell him that. He wouldn't know what to do with that. Hell, he barely knows what to do with Xingchen's reactions to him. ]

I am comfortable. As for hearing, I can hear just fine from where I am. Further up would have been a problem.

[ Hey, he's a work in progress! There will come a time where he won't take things so seriously, maybe.

For now, however, he merely gets more comfortable in his tree and listens to Xie play. That? It was far better than over the network. ]

[ Mingye knows all about getting lost in the music, in the instrument being played. Those eyes, however, look down towards Xie when the music finally ends. ]

I prefer it in person than over the network. I loved it.

[ There's not many that can get a smile out of Mingye. Though, Xie gets a slight one from him. ]

Seeing as you played for me, I can play for you.

[ It's only fair, after all. He gives his xiao a slight twirl before bringing it to his lips. Closing his eyes he starts to play. ]

[ Once he's through playing, he twirls his xiao and gives a slight hum. ]

I'm glad that you approve.

Am I?

[ There may or may not be a hint of amusement to his tone. ]

I'm sure I could be persuaded.

[ He's never actually performed with anyone else, so he's not sure how it would sound. ]

The Darknight Court cared little for music.

[ The xiao was more his escape from things, as it were. ]
