*She took a breath, her lips slightly curving downwards. Lei Shifang admittedly did not expect him to be so dismissive, especially not when they worked together so often, that it became rather... Discouraging.* I see... I am terribly sorry, Lord Thunder Master.

*She gently rested a hand on his shoulder, glancing over at a nearby table.* Sit with me, Lord Thunder Master. Tell me what troubles you so?

*Hearing his saccharine words and the syrupy praise, her face scrunched slightly in distaste.* ... Lord Thunder Master, are you making a fool of me?

What a peaceful day... The birdsong is very soothing.

Your conflict avoidance is astounding, Lord Thunder Master, but I will concede. Very well. I know I haven't been in the skies often, that is simply because I have come to realize that there are ghost children that have taken residence within my temple. So, I have felt obligated to care for them.

*Her eyebrow raised, but she naturally relented. Normally the lightning master would become aggressive and more adamant, but something about that pitiful look encouraged her to soften instead.* The weather? Really, Lord Thunder Master? We /are/ the weather.

Just because you stop doing it around me doesn't mean you no longer mean it. I wish for you to understand your worth. You did not ascend without reason.

My lord, you speak so cruelly to yourself. Do you not understand your role in the heavenly tribunal? Just one person can't decide the fates of God's and Mortals alike, that is why we must judge side by side.

Do not discredit yourself, Lord Thunder Master. You have a very important role to play, as the heavenly Emperor dictated. For instance, I could not do my job without you.

The ghost children that roam seem to have taken a liking to seeking refuge in my temples. It pleases me to know my presence feels safe to them.
