Had she witnessed this exact same scene only a year ago, she might have had more to say on the matter. But gratitude was so much easier than vexation. And having spent a considerable amount of time becoming well-acquainted with mud and filth and all manner of true depravity, she found this more heroic than unseemly.ย And so, eyes sparkling beneath grimy bangs, Shi Qingxuan limps close enough to take hold of her savior's hands.

She had always fancied herself an elegant and graceful fighter, should the need ever arise for her to take to bare fists. On the rare occasion the need had indeed arisen, she'd been informed she had more in common with a fish flopping about than with even the most novice trainee. What she did know was a hit like that wouldn't be content with only leaving marks on the recipient. Once, long before her brother's ascension, she had thrown a punch with enough force to send a troublesome boy packing. She had given him a bloody nose and herself split knuckles. The former Wind Master vividly recalls the ferocious sting spidering across her fingers. Naturally, it hadn't compared at all to her brother's scolding as he wrapped her hands. She would forego the admonishments, of course, but she must have some loose strip of cloth somewhere, just in case--
ย ย ย ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ. A map of scars and scrapes unfurls across the hands she cradles in her own. These hands... they have so much life written on them. And she, shamefully, hasn't yet mastered how to read such tales. But they are warm. They are warm, and they saved her from yet another scrap during her arduous travels. So, how beautiful they are too.
ย ย ย "๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐!" she exhales, squeezing ever so slightly. "You really are amazing, jiejie. I haven't seen someone move that quickly in a very long time! Here, I must have something..." she trails off into a mutter as she pats down the front of her own robes. There must be that ring-- ah, no, pawned that off in the last town. Then surely, that one paltry bag of coins from her last-- no, that had all been spent in the town before last (and the wine had been so watery!) Shi Qingxuan sighs. "Actually, this one has nothing. Hmm..." her gaze flicks to the sky as if it would ever offer any practical answer. If only she had her fan back! Then she could at least offer to cool the other off with a few hearty flips and flaps. She leans against her makeshift cane. "Tell you what: I'll get the next person. You won't have to worry about a thing with ol' Feng around!"
