Meimei, he calls her - a term she is familiar with, since Xie Yun pretty much decided she was his little sister from the moment they were forced into cohabitation (when was that? how long ago was that? she's been in Yancai for so long), and they never looked back. It prompts a smile, a rush of pride running up her spine - the term makes her feel important.

Validated.

This is all very normal behaviour.

She leads him away from the docks, musing on the options to speak in a safe space. Her house - well, no, she shares that with several other people. "Walking is probably the safest," she answers. "Since there is no reason to pause and let others eavesdrop. We can explore Yancai together and you can learn the land."

A little nod here. Good plan, Hermione.
