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.]

[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.
