Yrsillar Wrote:Ling Qi kicked her feet idly as she leaned over the rail of the balcony. The sun shone brightly over Shenglu today. Snowblossom lake was like a vast, deep blue mirror splitting the earth, visible clearly even through the churning mist of the waterfall. It was a wonderful view, but to Ling Qi even that was peripheral.
It was amazing, sitting here without a single flicker of the chronic pain she had suffered for months. Every breath came naturally and without effort, her meridians flowing smooth with her cycling qi without any of burn or ache. Her respect for her friend Xiulan had deepened, knowing the girl had been dealing with such pain for two years now.
"I had wondered if you would not come back with some new and exotic injury when you stated your intentions." Cai Renxiang stood at the rail near her, arms folded behind her back. Her eyes were fixed on the slowly growing township below, the docks spreading on the shores, and the motion of people through streets and buildings.
"An arm melted off, the stump bleeding rainbow mist?"
"If not your feet having permanently caught fire, or you having become a wisp of smoke with pretensions," Cai Renxiang said dryly.
"Oh, either of those would be bad," Ling Qi agreed sagely. "People would be uncomfortable if I was floating all the time. Not to mention the smell! It would also make hugging my little sister very hard."
"Let us avoid finding out," Cai Renxiang said with finality, turning her head to look up at Ling Qi perched on the railing.
