You think they’re unearned? You’ve been patient with me, even when I was being a burden in your home. You continue to be indulgent with Zewu-Jun’s xiao lessons; I won’t pretend my playing is anything approaching decent yet. I’m sure you know now why I was injured in the first place, but you accept my presence around despite it. To me, this isn’t enough to express my gratitude, but it’s something.

Coexistence is not kindness.

[She’s so very Confused Math Lady Meme over that text and it takes her a little bit to figure out how to respond.]

I’m afraid I don’t understand the difference. For someone like me, it’s a great kindness. I believe you’re a kind man and nothing I’ve seen has contradicted it.

We only accept gifts for teaching.

Gifts in exchange for teaching, or that can be used to teach?

In exchange for teaching or service.

Shameful to accept otherwise.

[She was READY FOR THIS]

Will you teach me the guqin?

[ATTEMPT THE IMPOSSIBLE. Bring the Jiang sect motto out to play.]

Respectfully, you are small of proportion.

[WELL...

That’s fair. She does not even lift. She’s got all the noodley proportions of a proper survival horror game Protag. But she just wants to learn to play not bash people with it pls she’s not Sizhui.]

Does that matter, even just to learn to play?

The guqin is no toy.

I wasn’t trying to imply otherwise. The other you plays for me once a week. Zewu-Jun sometimes does the same with his xiao. I’m extremely grateful to everyone for helping me. I want to learn the music too so I can help in return. I just want to learn something that can help all of you. Especially Zewu-Jun. I know there’s nothing I could do that you wouldn’t be able to do better, and maybe it’s foolish to want to try. But I’d like to see him smile one day. I’d like to help towards that, in any way.

Teach him cookery.

Does he have trouble with the modern kitchen?

Brother is accomplished in other skills.

I see. Thank you for teaching me a way to help. Please let me know if you enjoy the food I brought now. This satisfies the conditions, doesn’t it?

It cheats them.

If there are further conditions, you didn’t state them. With the information you gave me, this satisfies them. Are you choosing to go back on your word now?

Spirit, over the letter of honour.

Would you rather teach me something else?

One day at its time.
