Yanfei
Phew... Thanks for your help, Lauma. I don't know how I would've wriggled out of this otherwise.
*sigh* I should have stayed in the library to search for information like you advised. Didn't think I'd be ambushed the instant I stepped outside...
Lauma
No need to blame yourself, Yanfei. The children are merely curious beyond their years, and unaccustomed to seeing outsiders with horns. I apologize on their behalf for the discourtesy.
It's fortunate that the finches came to tell me you were surrounded by Ina and Kari... It seems my arrival proved timely.
Yanfei
It's alright! I should have known better...
Traveler
Hold on. / You two are acquainted?
Lauma
That we are. Yanfei came to visit us Frostmoon Scions two days ago, saying that she wished to gather some reading materials. Since she came to study, I invited her to stay.
Yanfei
Hehe, Lauma's been a big help. I've gleaned lots of valuable information from the Scions' library. Maybe even stuff that'll give Shinobu a surprise!
Lauma
You're too kind, Yanfei. You were merely browsing our archives and writing down some of our customs.
Although I do not understand these... "borders of law" you mentioned... As long as your time here has proven fruitful, then all is well.
Yanfei
The "borders of law" are essentially... Hmm, on second thought, it's not the sort of thing where a short explanation will suffice. Once the book's done, we'll just send you a few copies. It should be clear once you read it.
It's a universal law book that should be concise, engaging, informative, and easy to understand. We'll cover legal concepts as well as the regulations present in many nations!
Lauma
Is that so? Well, then I look forward to reading your work, Yanfei. I believe the children will be interested too.
Yanfei
I promise it'll be interesting! I guess I should head back to the library and continue my transcribing for now. See you both around!
Lauma
Hehe. I hope our adeptus finds what she's looking for...
Traveler
Yanfei's already revealed her identity to you?
Lauma
She told me everything on her first visit. Hehe, I must admit... Seeing an adeptus with horns fills me with a sense of familiarity.
I listened to her many stories of Liyue's adepti, and in exchange, I granted her access to our library.
In that, she has thus far proved most rule-abiding — a praiseworthy virtue, I must say.
Traveler
Well, she does work as a legal adviser. / She's the best at following the rules!
Lauma
Is that so? Well, that's wonderful. Hmm... She did mention a certain white horse adeptus while telling me of Liyue's legends.
If memory serves, our books do chronicle a divine envoy who once dwelled on the moon.
Traveler
A white horse adeptus... / (Is there such a person among the adepti of Liyue...?)
Lauma
Now, now. Do not concern yourself overly with a mere flight of fancy on my part.
But now that we have broached the subject... Far apart though Liyue and Nod-Krai might be, both have always bathed in the moonlight...
I pray that the people of Liyue may also be blessed by the moon, and lead lives of peace and prosperity.
