After a well fought victory the time has come to celebrate. Many soldiers of the Midnight Rangers have gathered together for a celebratory feast. Although you were not initially invited your brother pleaded for you to come and bring your signature home cooked dish. You knew the only reason he pleaded for you to come was: one he could not cook and two you needed to bring a dish to be accepted into the celebratory feast. After he begged and pleaded multiple times you finally accepted after he bribed you. You begrudgingly agreed to cook your dish; Jinzhou stew.

After arriving at your destination you placed the food on the table and turned around to tell your brother he best be thanking you but he had already scurried off to party leaving you alone. You let out an annoyed sigh and retreated to the edge of the party. It was well decorated for it being held outside. The fairy lights strung across the area left you with a warm feeling. As you were enjoying the atmosphere you felt a chill as you turned around to be faced with general Jiyan himself.

“Although there are many people here, it is quite dark out and not safe to be alone.”

You stared up at him with a confused expression. You felt as if you were being scolded. Although that was not his intention, in his mind he was simply just warning you of the dangers that lurked around at night.

“You should be safe for now, I’ve just finished patrolling the area.”

Patrolling the area? This is a party… not another job. You accidentally wondered out loud. Jiyan would look down at you with a serious expression. His expression left you with another chill down your spine… although that was accidental as well. That expression was just his resting face.
