[It wasn't her dream self's welcome of him that made him think as much. Appreciated as it was, that was probably the dumbest thing he saw of her -- his own mother would have agreed, heh.
But not wanting to get attached after being burned before, and the eventual acceptance of it once someone proved her wrong... Just another show of the intelligence she proudly and more prominently displayed as the Master of Tianji Manor.]
She's right, too. Maybe you don't want to hear this from me, but the second name suits you more.
I'd still like to meet her for real one day if the offer's still open. Especially now that the one that made sure I can never go back again is here.
