Scary thought, isn't it. Isn't it so strange, somehow I thought a master of wuxing would know it's never just a match of Qi. How about this, you tell me if you should be afraid when you come back from your social engagement, eh?

Well they won't present themselves if you keep sneering at them. But fine, fine! Don't listen to what an old friend has to tell you. My vastly superior experience with hobbies will just continue to be of use to me and me alone.

Isn't it just as strange that I'm not any such thing. So I'll be lucky to make it back at all, from one Qi match next door with a weird scholar. Is jumping at shadows one of your newer hobbies?

And I'm not sneering, I just don't like the mud. What else can your vastly superior experience suggest?

[doctor_uhh]

[You know what, she can have him.]

Alright well have fun and good luck, don't forget to bring back the board if you win. And the pieces.

My experience suggests trying everything until you find something that suits. But we can discount things that may stain fine clothes, eh? Oh, how about music? Lao Di, have you ever tried to play an instrument?

[wife_material]

[Unfortunately, she may now prefer to collect the set.]

I wouldn't dare.

And ruin everyone's peace? My own most of all. How about something quiet?

[doctor_uhh]

A phoenix, though? Have you ever heard such a maltreated metaphor before? Be honest.

Well I'm not suggesting you warble a little tune to the autumn wind on a flute. There's quiet instruments, you know. Don't you think a qin could suit you? The immortals are always playing those things by waterfalls.

[wife_material]

Being honest, I think I've never heard so much nonsense at once, but isn't that called two tigers sharing a mountain? You would know best.

Then I'd need to find a waterfall, for best results.

[doctor_uhh]

And if Di-Mengzhu adds the calf we'll have us a real menagerie. You're right, I don't think you know anything about this. That must be why you're not helping.

Then it's a deal. You find a waterfall, I'll find a qin. Hah, I'd tell you not to worry about the rest, but I know you won't.

[wife_material]

Now who's maltreating a metaphor. And what am I leading these days that you can call me any of these things? You don't seem to need any help.

Know I won't worry, or won't take this deal?

[doctor_uhh]

Oh I see how it is. Fine, I'll light a signal flare next time I'm being harassed on the little device, since Di-Mengzhu needs a special invitation.

You've already taken this deal. I'm all for trying new things, but playing coy doesn't suit you.

[wife_material]

My fault, for thinking a little harassment would be nothing to you. It does seem to be a rite of passage.

Then I hope playing the qin does. I don't want to know what the next choice would be.

I'm glad Di-Mengzhu recognizes his fault and will know better in the future. Am I not made of flesh and bone? Do words not prick my heart and pride? You shouldn't be so thoughtless with these things.

Wise words, wise words. After all, I'm full of good ideas and have nothing but time.

[Now who is being thoughtless? Talking to Di Feisheng is still dangerous, it seems, even these days. Especially these days.]

Anyway, come try this cake. I think it's quite good. If it's missing something I want to know before Xiaobao get back and starts his complaining.
