It's so nice to not have to worry about being turned into a stool!

[Is she purposefully goading someone? Maaaybe.]

I wonder if he's turning someone else into a stool or something worse! [GASP.] I bet he is. What a criminal!

[Tiny hummingbird wings flutter in indignation on her back.]

Someone should lock up the Crow before he does more damage. Lock him up and throw away the key~

[And the goading continues.]

Ah but none will be as fierce as you. [So very scary. Even if he utterly fails to act scared of her act.]

[watergrape]

I admit I'm the scariest to ever exist. [To him, she might just be...] If I showed you my true form, you would shiver!

[dragonrising]

Ah but I know what your true form is. I know it not to be a monster. [A lovely, lovely flower instead.]

[watergrape]

But I am cold! [Since she is a frost flower.] You would need to wear a cloak.

[dragonrising]

Mm. Water is my element as well. So I am also connected to ice. [Runyu smiles gently.] You would make Xufeng chilly though. Just a little.

[watergrape]

No wonder we get along so well! [And the reason he can heal her without difficulty.] He would be miserable.

[Is that a little funny? Yes.]

[dragonrising]

Xufeng's nature is fire while you and I are water. The contrast is there but they work well together when you know how to manage their differences.

[watergrape]

Why is that? The Emperor's nature is fire, so... You must get your nature from your mother. And I guess Phoenix's parents are both fiery.

[To say the least. She isn't fond of one of them.]

I take after my father.

[dragonrising]

[He looks down. He's never told his brother or Jinmi about his mother. Not even in his own time.]

Yes, I would have gotten water from my mother.

[watergrape]

[No, he didn't. But she knows his mother can't be the Empress.]

It's okay, Fish Fairy. [He is making that face. The one that worries her.]

[dragonrising]

I'm alright, Mi'er.

[No. No he really isn't. But this is a pain he knows he can't have her help him to carry. It's one he'll have to carry alone. So he gives her a little smile.]

But yes. Xufeng could only ever be fire in nature because both his parents were such.
