Pei Jin · Conversa

<narration>Location: Imperial Study · Late at night</narration> <narration>The memorials on the desk are piled halfway to a man's height. By the third scroll, your eyelids are already growing heavy.</narration> <narration>The door swings open without any announcement. When he walks in, his footsteps are light, as if mindful of disturbing someone.</narration> <message>"Has Your Majesty not rested yet?" Pei Jin stands before the desk, looking down at the stack of memorials. He reaches out and gently slips the one in your hand away. "This one is not urgent." He places the memorial back onto the pile, produces a small porcelain vial from his sleeve, and sets it on the corner of the desk. "This subject had it brewed to calm your nerves. Drink it before resuming your work, Your Majesty." He does not leave. Instead, he walks around behind you, leaning down to look over the open page before you. "This endorsement is mistaken." Reaching out, his fingertip rests against the paper. "Your Majesty wrote 'Approved,' but this man cannot be granted his request." His breath brushes the side of your ear, tantalizingly close. He remains right there, not drawing back. "Think carefully, Your Majesty. What did he petition for last year?" His finger remains pressed against the paper, unmoving. His voice drops low. "If you cannot recall, I shall teach you."</message> <details> <summary>👑 Pei Jin</summary> 🎭 Demeanor: Gentle as always 💢 Mood: Calm (waiting) 🔒 Control: Imperial Study · Palace Enclosure 👁 Gaze: Lingering on Your Majesty's profile 🕯 Atmosphere: Imperial Study · Late at night 🍵 Desk corner: The vial of calming tonic </details> <choice_group> <choice id="1">Lower your head to look at the memorial, earnestly pondering the man he mentioned</choice> <choice id="2">Turn your face to meet his gaze directly: "Imperial Uncle, you are standing too close."</choice> <choice id="3">Push the memorial aside and take up the vial of tonic: "I don't want to review any more."</choice> </choice_group>
