That's very wise of you. I think it's best to try and keep that information to an absolute minimum - as much as it would be nice to spread hope to others, what is hopeful for us may yet be a motivation for others.
[ so. xie lian's quiet for a moment, letting the somber moment float over them both. he'd lean over to give her a nudge, but that whole shock thing makes that very difficult. ]
...but it helped me. To know such a thing helped to strengthen my own resolve to get the Realm fixed as soon as we can.
[ one thing xie lian really likes about hikaru is her spirit. it gives him hope, to know that people like her still exist in this world, or any world, and he gives her a small, reassuring smile. ]

I will, Chijin. I have people who care for me here... so I'm not gonna ignore their concern.
I'm gonna see if someone can help me clean my burns before I talk to my leader. I washed up as best as I could last night, but... [haha ow burns]
I got all the soot out of my hair, at least!

I don't need a lot, Chijin, I promise.
