Dan Heng
For anything related to the data bank, come find me
Jing Yuan
The strangest thing happened today. Someone left two cardboard boxes at The Seat of Divine Foresight.
Dan Heng
Are you alright, Jing Yuan?
Dan Heng
Is it the The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?
Dan Heng
Shall we delay our departure?
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan
I highly doubt they were the ones who sent these steamed puffergoat milk.
Jing Yuan
Don't worry, we have checked everything. There is no trace of poison and it still hasn't gone past it's expiration date.
Jing Yuan
Although, it has cooled down a bit. But I don't think Yanqing minds it.
Dan Heng
Jing Yuan
But something interesting surfaced during our investigation.
Jing Yuan
When we asked Starwatcher Avenue who the sender was, they said it was an Outworlder who bore the sigil of The Divine Foresight's personal guest.
Jing Yuan
Know anything about that?
Dan Heng
I wouldn't know all your guests, General.
Jing Yuan
Not even one whose hair is as dark as an obsidian?
Jing Yuan
Has eyes with the same shade as a fluorite?
Jing Yuan
Also able to part the sea with a flick of his finger?
Dan Heng
...
Jing Yuan
Hahaha, I'm not mad, Dan Heng.
Jing Yuan
It's certainly distinctive than the gifts I've received over the years.
Jing Yuan
Though, I'm curious. Why steamed puffergoat milk?
Dan Heng
Well,
Dan Heng
Words on the street is that you like to drink puffergoat milk every morning.
Jing Yuan
Ah, you must have read The Lifitide, then.
Jing Yuan
While it's true we often order in large quantities, truth to be told it was mostly for Yanqing.
Jing Yuan
He believes drinking more milk will help him grow faster and stronger.
Jing Yuan
Now, as his mentor, it's highly inapproriate for me to discourage him, isn't it?
Dan Heng
And the rumors spiraled from there.
Dan Heng
As the Archivist of the Express, I should've known better.
Jing Yuan
It's alright. Your gift is greatly appreciated.
Jing Yuan
Thank you, Dan Heng :)
Dan Heng
This one hardly counts.
Dan Heng
Do you have anything you want? I can look for it during our journey.
Jing Yuan
Is this about the pardon? You don't have to get me anything. Your friendship is already enough for me.
Jing Yuan
Besides, if you give me more gifts, I'm afraid I would mistake it as an attempt to court me.
Jing Yuan
Hahaha, I'm only joking!
Dan Heng
...
Jing Yuan
Is something wrong?
Dan Heng
I have no idea how to answer that.
Dan Heng
Anyhow, I will try my best to look for gifts that fit your taste.
Dan Heng
The Express is about to jump. I'll contact you later!
Dan Heng
Take care, Jing Yuan. Don't overwork yourself.
Dan Heng
May the Reignbow's arrow guide you on your Hunt.
Jing Yuan
You don't have to trouble yourself. What's important is that you stay safe.
Jing Yuan
Be careful our there, Dan Heng.
Jing Yuan
May the stars guide you on your journey.
