The tea in Ji Shuang's cup had gone cold, but neither she nor her guest had touched their drinks in some time.
The sunlight filtered in through the paper windows, casting a soft golden hue over the quiet room.
Ji Shuang leaned back slightly, as her gaze settled on the young woman sitting across from her "So, on your way to another star… you lost your family because of the Rupture?"
Rei Wuyin nodded slowly, her fingers tightening slightly around the cup she hadn't yet lifted "Mm.Everything happened so fast. My mother tried to protect me…"
Her words trailed off before she gave a faint breath. "Kind Zhao Tian and his master Yan Zijin found me in the Rupture. Without them, I wouldn't have made it."
Her gaze dropped to her lap, her lashes casting shadows on her cheeks "Now, I just want to start over. They said… the Jade Eclipse Sect would be willing to take me in. And when I heard the Sect Master herself was here… I thought I should ask directly."
