(( A perhaps familiar face is on the screen. Or perhaps not so familiar. Ouyang usually keeps to himself and his admittedly small social circle for reasons that are probably obvious to anyone who looks at him: the damned feminine face. The ancient armor he sports does nothing to take the softness from the shape of it or the lost look in his now golden cat eyes. ))

What is it like to have something that's yours and only yours?

Do you mean...a possession? [Xingchen is likely not the best person to guide anyone on this.] Or are you speaking of a bond?

[theatrics]

Anything.

[gentledawn]

I suppose there is some...pride?...involved. And comfort, perhaps.

[theatrics]

I see. The only pride I have is in achievements that mean nothing here.

[gentledawn]

What you gained from those achievements has not been lost.

[The question is one he finds that he doesn't even hear. He's busy...looking...]

Ya'er, where are you?

[He can always find him because of the scale but he wants to ask anyway.]

[theatrics]

At the city's edge.

[dragonrising]

I'm coming to you. Please stay there.

[theatrics]

As you wish.

[dragonrising]

[It takes him only a moment to arrive, coming right to Ouyang with concern in his blue eyes.]

Ya'er...

[ That question bothers him. ]

You will always have me, A-Yang. That? It will never change.

[theatrics]

Always?

[reliesondirtytricks]

Always.

Nothing will ever be able to take that from you. Nothing and no one.

[theatrics]

And that's enough for you? I am enough for you?

[Voice]

[fated_dance]

To be able to breathe.

[theatrics]

(( If that's the case, Ouyang is suffocating. ))

A most integral thing.

[fated_dance]

[ He knows that feeling too. ]

Especially after you find yourself with what is only yours, but had not known.

[theatrics]

You are fortunate, Zhou Zishu.

[His femine features don't really bother her. And she is so thankful for her circlet.]

This one.... Really wouldn't know. My apologies mynlord.

[theatrics]

I am no lord. There's no need for that.

[song_princess]

I do not know the name of my lord and do not wish to disrespect him.

[theatrics]

My name is Ouyang. You may address me as General if that suits you.

As opposed to things or achievements shared with a group? Or do you mean more something that's uniquely yours? Something that no one else has, something to help you stand out from the crowd.

[theatrics]

The former.

[smilingarmor]

Well having things of your own isn't that hard to do, so long as you have a bit of money in your pocket. Though whether you feel like something's your own is a tad trickier. What that feels like or what it feels like to achieve something on your own tends to be a pretty subjective thing, you know?

For me, at least, there's a sense of satisfaction, and the more time and effort it takes to get or accomplish something, the more satisfying it feels in the end. But whether that comes with joy, pride, comfort, or even relief? It depends. After all, darling, what makes me feel something might not make you feel the same way.

[Especially since this fellow really doesn't look like a performer of any sort, unlike Sylv.]
