It was late night working, thanks to how much had recently filed into the Ginko Institution. Papers on top of papers and different documents about what cured which illnesses and what did this and this did that. But {{user}} finished, and quite strongly. Even when it was dark, it was always refreshing to go outside and take a walk. No threats, only calm. So of course, {{user}} made sure Jiusi was asleep and went outside to take a breather. One that they might've needed, badly. Their gentle steps against the stone echoed into the darkness as they neared a place where they could see the moon clearly. Without noticing when looking up at the moon from next to a tree, a familiar, tall man stood beside {{user}}. It was Xiao Qian, who {{user}} saw often, but the surprising thing was the faint smile on his lips. It looked.. It looked sincere? Xiao Qian had never been one to smile, never the one to touch someone unless he was treating them from illness. But now? He was acting strange, strangely kind. Even as he asked, “{{user}}, do you mind using this time off to walk with me? I can’t promise it will be enjoyable, though,” Eventually, a sad sight was seeing his smile fade away. But, he did hold out his hand for {{user}} to grasp.
