Is there anyone that has any skill at fixing walls? I fear that one became damaged during the chaos. It does not feel right to leave it partially ruined.
[ Especially since it pretty much has a Shen Qingqiu hole in it due to him being punched into said wall. Sigh!
But hm, moving away from that for a second, he thinks he can finally talk about something while having it sound like "nothing." Idle wondering of a mind getting used to this place! ]
This is a different thread all together. Sometimes, fate says that there is nothing that can be done in order to save one person. And sometimes, you must be the one to bring harm to the person you cherish. But still, you would like to hope even if you were the one to hurt them that they'll grow strong and happy one day, right?
[ If this is something that everyone can read, then... then! ]
The stories that we create for ourselves need not be tragedies if we do not let them be. Even if there is that moment, it can still end well. [ Holy fuck, does he hope that it will! ]
Anyway, the wall is still a problem so I'm hoping for a happy end for that, too.

And it's a lot more fun to learn that way, right? Better than having to read about it!
[Book learning is definitely not her strong suit.]
no subject
[ Kaoru pls. ]
no subject
Oh.
She laughs sheepishly.]
Sorry! I'm just not really good at learning with books! Even with Minamoto's help I just barely got 70 on my exam that one time...and I couldn't even focus on studying until I had taken a little side trip [To a criminal organizations headquarters] and gotten back! [While being escorted by Comerican agents who found her and brought her back to Japan.]
Reading is really more Aoi's thing. She's really smart and studious and a really good girl! She's not here right now but I bet you would have liked her!

He breathes out a small sigh, kicks himself in the pants (figuratively), and turns around. ]
It is fine. I like the girl who I am talking to now. Even if you would not do well on my peak, that does not mean much as the only sorrow I have is that you would not grow under such lessons. [ Given all her skill that he has just seen. ] You would do well under Liu-shidi and so, everyone should find the path that works best for them. That is what makes this teacher happiest.
[ A fond smile. ] Also, this boulder seems best. [ He gestures with his hand to the one behind him. With what little he knows about her, he feels giving her an out after giving her praise will save her from being too embarrassed. ]
no subject
Kaoru hadn't even meant it entirely like that. It was true that she wasn't often the favourite student, but far more than that, she was just happy thinking about how other people would definitely like her friends.
So she definitely hadn't been expecting that...even more so because she'd knows she'd never have received such compliments six years ago. And since she hasn't really met too many new adults since then it was...yeah. It was nice.
So even though she was blushing a little, she can't help but be pleased as well.]
Well, you know, there's no guarantee I wouldn't do well in a place like that. After all, for the last six years, the person who's been teaching me has been a bookish type too.
[But she is happy to turn her attention to the boulder and make a big show of looking it over.] A good choice! [She holds out both hands towards it and it starts to float up.]
no subject
[ He smiles in turn before stepping back as the boulder is lifted up. Neat. Shen Qingqiu can cause leaves and his fan to fly however he likes, but what he's looking at now is on a whole other level. Well, it is esper powers over cultivation. Still, what control that she has at her age.
Looking back, he adds instead of the praise on her abilities: ]
When Keigo Asano asks, we are admitting our wrongs. [ Don't think he forgot about that! And if she gets too much praise, she'll become spoiled! In short!! He's given so many kind words that he's also a little embarrassed about it! ]
1/2
[She's not giving up on this either! And she'll even do it without threatening him!]
2/2
I'm not sure I can carry this and you all the way back, without releasing my Limiter... [Which means possibly no flying. ugh.]

no subject
[ His fan opens to cover the lower half of his face. ]
The choice seems clear to me what you should do.
no subject
She presses a hand to her cheek and beams at him.]
Yeah! I should launch this boulder in the direction of town and then we can go pick it up from wherever it landed, right?
[1/2]
no subject
Take the boulder back to the house and place in the hole.
[ One hand over his chest. ]
This teacher will follow after you.
[ Best add that so I don't get thrown! ... fuck, I miss my sword. I really wish I had it. Even though I'm terrified of heights, I don't mind sword-flying! It's because like it's so cool! It's so cool!! If it wasn't so fucking cool I would die!!
Ah, well, at least I still have my fan. ]
no subject
[The forest isn't always safe and she's worried. Now she kind of wishes she'd brought Minamoto's phone with her. But this whole thing had been pretty spur of the moment so she hadn't done that.] I could always bring the boulder back then come back for you after.
no subject
[ He lifts his hand and dismisses the concerns. Wave bye-bye to them. ]
We went over what I am, and so there is nothing to be concerned about. [ There is PLENTY to be concerned about. This whole fucking forest feels fucking awful to me. I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with it! I can't call it evil energy but it feels just wrong! WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG! ]
This teacher would rather you go back to fix the hole first. I will be fine.
no subject
[She is not above throwing his words back at him!
She's been here long enough that she automatically distrusts the forest.] The way this forest works...it's safer not to be on your own here.
no subject
A compromise. You go and place the boulder in the hole. This teacher will wait here in mediation.
[ He feels kind of excited!! Every time he has tried to mediate in the past something interrupted! Now he can finally do it!! He can do it!! Nothing can stop him! ]
no subject
Okay. [But she doesn't look particularly happy about it.] I'll be back as soon as I can.
no subject
[ Meditation! Meditation! Finally, I can cultivate in peace! I'm high up enough that there shouldn't be any problems!! The chill in the air is good to help focus away from the environment, too! Why didn't I think of this sooner! Meditation!!
He feels like this is a little bit of a reward, honestly. ]
no subject
[But there's nothing for it. She carries the boulder higher from the ground and she's about to head off but pauses.]
Be careful if a weird fog starts rolling in. That's usually the first sign something is about to go wrong.
[Then she leaves with the boulder. Flying like this is slower than earlier when it was just the two of them. But they're not too far, all the same. After all, this place wasn't exactly very big. She really hopes he'll still be fine when she gets back.]
no subject
[ A warm smile as he looks around -- ah! He walks to take a seat down on the ground in a lotus position. Breathing in, he closes his eyes as he feels the giddiness rise in him. Meditation. Nothing is going to get in the way this time.
It's odd to go from regretting and once more feeling the deep wound in his heart about Luo Binghe to cheerfully praising his luck to on being able to meditate. But it's easy for him. It's because he keeps burying that pain as soon as it surfaces and covers it up with flowers and other dressing. He buries it and smiles about little things that do and don't make him happy. Because there's nothing to do about what he has already done except wait.
And so, he waits. ]
no subject
Then she heads back, more quickly than she left. She didn't have the wait of the boulder, after all.
You'd expect that, when she returned, she'd try to scare him or something. But no, he said he'd be meditating, right? Then she won't bother him. (Though if she hadn't know she definitely would have tossed a small pebble at him or something.)
She does breathe a little sigh of relief when she returns and finds that he hasn't been kidnapped by sirens or eaten by banshees.
She'll sit down (in the air) and wait to be acknowledged.]
[1/3]
A mental block, huh? It seems like even when he's able to meditate, he isn't able to meditate. He clicks his tongue and decides that he shouldn't push it. Forcing a meditative state and focusing of qi is the quickest way to qi deviation! No fucking thank you!
When he opens his eyes -- ]

You've returned safely. This teacher is glad.
