[And yet... Charming. In his own way.]

The 'e' makes a difference? I see! You are Irish. I remember.

[Wow, rude! Don't call him- yeah, ok, he likes to pretend to be charming. How he manages it is a mystery.]

I was raised in a temple. I can only tell you so much about the land that will become China. But I am interested in learning about your home.

[Shut it! No way! He doesn't care about anyone but himself!]

Go read a book.

[It was a nice try. He usually does like to talk about his homeland.]

[...suspicious.]

I am in the library.

Still, I like your voice better.

[It's actually just honesty.]

I suppose it is nice to hear, but I didn't mean it entirely as flattery. I like your accent and you do have a talent for song.

[onlyhearmusic]

[That's good. He's just having a Hard time with emotions right now. He's not supposed to have those. It's very upsetting.]

Stop trying to court me, boy. I am not interested. Leave me be.

[zichen]

[Emotions are rough.]

You know where to find me.
