(Video; UN: aloof)

[mourningjade]

I foresee a journey. Who is willing to follow? (Travel can help clear his mind and center him.) The house is in good hands and the rabbits have what they need for the weeks to come.

(The babies are old enough to be with the big bunnies.)

I prefer to walk, but I am not against other transportation.

(Just nothing that closes him in.)

Let me know if you need anything. You know I won't hesitate to help.

[mourningjade]

If you desire to stay, watch the house and tend to the rabbits.

[hatesbeingchased]

You know I don't mind if that's what you need. Zhu Rhi will probably travel with you for a time.

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

She is welcome. I will keep her safe.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

She will also keep you safe. Just as she will retrieve me if you need anything.

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

Thank you. (The care is appreciated.) Stay warm.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

I'm used to the outdoors and the cold.

[ He's staked out others in the cold even. ]

But I promise I'll stay warm.

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

It can be dangerous nonetheless.

(The frost can overwhelm a person in their sleep.)

I will send messages often.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

I know it can be.

[ The bounty hunter knows more than he lets on. ]

Good. I need to know that you're safe.

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

I have traveled much in wilder places. Away from the city, I will feel more at home.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

That does not always equal safety.

[ He's sure that they both know this. Besides, Wangji needs to stay safe not only for Ji Chong's peace of mind but for the rabbits as well, among others who care for him. ]

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

No, it doesn't, but I need little sleep.

(And Bichen is always with him.)

I will tell you what I discover.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

Get some rest while you're out there too.

[ Even if Bichen is always with the other. ]

I look forward to what you discover.

[ Video ]

[mourningjade]

I will sleep outside as the weather allows.

(He likes looking up at the stars.)

If I am successful, I will know more about this world.

[ Video ]

[hatesbeingchased]

Just make sure you come back safe.

[outspokenlan]

[When his image appears, he gives a respectful bow before speaking.]

Hanguang Jun, would you like me to stay and tend to the farm or would you like me to come with you?

[mourningjade]

(Jingyi, you are too precious. Wangji has thought about this and...)

If you are strong enough to journey, prepare. Otherwise, I trust you with the animals.

[outspokenlan]

[Jingyi breaks into a wide grin and nods.]

I'm well enough! I won't slow you down.

[mourningjade]

I am not concerned about our speed. (It's not as if they have somewhere to be.) This is about learning and clearing our minds.

[outspokenlan]

[If he was speaking to someone else, he might have asked questions like 'who is going to take care of the animals' or 'where are we going' but Jingyi doesn't even think about them with his shifu. Hanguang Jun has always been careful and prepared. If he says all is well even in middle of a hurricane, Jingyi will believe him.]

I'll pack a couple of books in case we want to read when we rest! When should I be ready to leave? [Three minutes from now? Yes yes?]

[mourningjade]

(He has asked several people to look after their animals, don't worry. Wangji has an odd habit of making friends where animals are involved. If a person is good to his rabbits, he trusts them. And who can hate their donkey? She is precious.)

We will leave at first light. Dress warmly.

[outspokenlan]

I'll be ready.

[Jingyi bows again and then hurries off to get ready.

Oh boy! He's going on an adventure with Hanguang Jun!]

[mourningjade]

Remember to sleep. (Don't be an excited puppy and stay up too late!)
