Kexin was quick to agree with Lian, and the princess let the matter drop, assured they were on the same page. She smiled softly. Your curiosity is a vital part of your work - never lose your grasp upon it, Kexin.

You view the world differently than I do. The physician admitted. Lian shrugged agreeably. Our different perspectives make us valuable to one another. She proposed simply. I am fond of all the little pools everywhere, like daubs of paint or little jewels studded into an otherwise verdant tapestry. The princess turned to gesture to the stone and water and moss-riddled landscape unfurled before them. It was dense with color and texture. Not quite like home's detailed organization and resplendence. But it wasn't entirely unlike the more wild territory that sprawled beyond. I also love the stonework that you can see only the faintest echoes of. Whoever was here long ago put so much work into it, so much care. While they are gone, the care and effort and passion they put into the world still lingers here for everyone else who comes here to see and appreciate.

Lian paused. I have no idea what kind of people could have lived here and built all this. But I hope when I die, I leave as lasting an impression on the world as this place.

Welcome Back!

Greetings Stranger!
