[ From her seat at the table, Shi Qingxuan can see a flash of black hair, a hint of white shifting to black, a figure vacillating between childlike and adult-

Her fingers tighten around the base of her fan. Of all the things she expected from a possibly demonic spell, this...this is really bizarre and unusual, completely outside her realm of experience. And because she doesn't understand it, it's even more frightening. It's definitely not a stable memory like the rest of this! If she wore one of those clips in here, maybe she could try changing things, but as it is, she can only rely on his own experiences.

This is because she mentioned that disciple, isn't it? Ah, she should have kept her mouth shut! Leaving aside how strange things are outside, he clearly didn't want to think or talk about him either! He looks like a ghost!

She tears her eyes away and clears her throat. Maybe if she helps him focus, the thing outside will become a normal part of the scenery? ]

Is he one of your senior disciples?

[ She'll use present tense if it makes him stop wavering! ]

[ Handwaving ordering drinks. Not really knowing the selection in the least, Shi Qingxuan simply picked whatever wine sounded the most interesting. Berry wine? Yes, she'll go with that. ]

Of course. I don't know how anyone could trust something like this. As I said, it's far too suspicious...

Speaking of which... [ She pulls out the little crystal she was given earlier. ] Did you receive one of these, too?

[He smiles proudly as though he did something more impressive than he really did.

At the suggestion to check the length, though, Shi Qingxuan nods. ]

All right.

[ There's no fun magic trick to go with this one: he just makes his way slowly back down, moving the ribbon around the branches so it doesn't catch on anything.

In the end, it gets pretty far! Not to the ground, but it's only a few feet above it. If Shi Qingxuan felt like climbing all the way down, he could easily grab both ends with his hands. ]

We have plenty of length on each side! [ He smiles up at him, face mostly obscured by leaves and branches at this point. ] Aren't you glad that we're both motivated?

[ He still hiding back there as he watches this hotheaded man fall on ass into the spring.

But- accusing him of sneaking!!

Shi Qingxuan stands up and puts his hand on his hip. If they weren't both men, this would be at least mildly embarrassing. Since they are, though, Shi Qingxuan, honestly, does not really feel that embarrassed. Clearly the way to show he's not sneaking is to just...more or less come out? ]

Who's sneaking? Isn't it normal to want some privacy when you're undressing? There isn't a changing area here, so this spot has to do!
