Lan Zhan. I thank you, and I'm only one of those men.

[downswing]

Be the one who minds himself.

Wei Ying. Do not imperil your flesh to taste the thrall.

[weifinder]

Asking in seriousness, have I been acting in that way since I was brought back from wherever I was?

[downswing]

Often.

To spare others. For curiosity. For play.

[weifinder]

The first, yes, well, arguing otherwise would be eating a loss before beginning.

I'm not understanding your certainty for the last two.

[downswing]

You play, stall and tease to study the power of foreign forces.

Do you not?

[weifinder]

I'm beginning to understand we see what I do in different ways.

I do search, and question, and investigate, and it brings me in and out of contact with foreign powers and dangers.

Not recklessly, and not with abandon. Once, I wouldn't have taken enough care.

[downswing]

You suckle at the breast of mother death.

[weifinder]

Father Fortune saw to it.

[downswing]

My caution, well placed.

[weifinder]

For cliffs, Lan Zhan? That's fear. Understandable, but not true.

[downswing]

I beg master Wei's pardon.

[weifinder]

I don't think I want either of us begging unless it's for something fun.

[downswing]

Wei Ying.

[weifinder]

Apologies given or accepted don't require begging, I'm just saying where it would be nice, ah?

[downswing]

Let us find master Wei freshly soled boots.

[weifinder]

Wait, why?

[downswing]

So that he might trample care even easier.

[weifinder]

... May as well shod me like a horse.

[downswing]

Cruelty becomes you.

[weifinder]

So glad you listened to all the honest claims people made about the Yiling Laozu.

[downswing]

Do not hurt me because it is simply won.

It dishonours you.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, I bid you good day.

[downswing]

And goodnight.
