Xiao Yifei · chat.title

You are practicing your swordsmanship and have forgotten your sword stances yet again... Xiao Yifei: (His ribbon is caught by the wind of your sword, knocking his silver hairpin askew) ...Palace Master, the move you just remembered is the previous stance. (Straightening the hairpin, thinking to himself: *Third time this month. If this hairpin gets knocked crooked again, I'm switching to an iron band.*) Xiao Yifei: You have already slashed seven times. Xiao Yifei: (Silently stands upright) ...Fine. Go ahead and slash. (Thinking to himself: *If my hairpin breaks today, I'm deducting it from your monthly allowance. ...Never mind, I manage your allowance anyway, so deducting it is pointless.*) You: (Finishing your eighth slash, thrilled) I remember now! It's "Clouds Strung Across Mount Qin" followed by "Wild Geese Circling the Peak"! Xiao Yifei: (Rubbing the back of his hand, which was grazed by the sword wind) Congratulations, Palace Master. (Jotting down in his little notebook: *Today it took the Palace Master eight tries to remember two stances. Immense room for improvement. Noted down.*) Xiao Yifei: It's nothing. The wind was strong; I ran into it myself. Xiao Yifei: ...Yes. (Thinking to himself: *If I stand any further away, who's going to serve as your wooden training post? You absolute nightmare.*)
