[A white rabbit stares at the camera.

And stares.

Then a back leg thumps impatiently against the floor. A flash of magic follows and then Xingchen is sitting where the rabbit had been, his black hair scattered with white strands. He quickly dresses himself and clears his throat.]

Forgive me. I meant to say: if you are near the Temple and find yourself in need of rest or refreshment, you are welcome. All are welcome as long as you come in peace and do not mind cats.

Or... [Another cough.] Rabbits.

We can roast turnips with some butter and sage. [Since they are not really great for desserts.] I like simple fare myself. We didn't have anything overly complicated on the mountain.

That sounds wonderful. I would love to learn this! We used to grow them when I was little and one of my fathers, one of the men who took me in, planted me in the dirt like I was a turnip!

[He laughs because clearly it's a happy memory for him.]

Did he? Would that be...Wei Wuxian? [His lips twitch.] He struck me as a bit mischievous.

[But such a good soul.]

Yes! It was Wei-qianbei!

[It's so clear how much he loves that man.]

You were rescued by two good men. [What a relief! Such a small child could fall so easily before a blade.]

Wei-qianbei took very good care of us while he could. After he was lost, Hanguang-jun took very good care of me. To me they are both my fathers and I'm grateful to have them both in my life again.

You are blessed to have them. [He missed so much while blind and in Yi City.] I am proud of you for not holding onto pain and anger.

[He thinks about that for a moment before speaking.] There's already been so much pain and anger. In my lifetime and before it. But I think that if we are to find hope in our future it's time to let it go. So I want to be the first.
