Summary
It is Gaoshun's duty to serve, and serve he will. Ground down by endless years, standing in the same position, in the same rooms behind Yoh or Zui, arms full of scrolls, or wielding a sword. He knows every archivist by name, knows which guards are reliable, and which are easily bought. Gaoshun knows how to school his face into the serenity of a Boddhisatva, knows the pressure points to disable an assailant painfully or painlessly, as needed. He knows the exact angle and force to behead a man with a single blow. He knows how to obey and how to protect. It is all he has ever done.
Gaoshun is so so tired, but if nothing else, he will do his duty as a proud member of the Ma Clan.
