Cangdian knew that he would be returning soon, she didn't know it was going to be today -- not that she would have planned anything special or anything, definitely not. A year had been a really long time to be separated from her twin. They didn't tend to stay parted for long periods normally. So she's training, earlier she had been with her father but now it was alone in an open courtyard. She's working creating ease in using a sword in tandem with the Zidian.
He steps over the threshold into the courtyard where he heard the crackle
of the Zidian echo from. Shuangxing chuckles and waits patiently for her to
complete her practice before making his presence known.
"Jie."
His long hair is tied back in a neat bun with a jade pin and white cuff
keeping it in place. His robes are much cleaner than when he had been
wandering with Song Xichen; pristine white over deep Jiang violet.
Cangdian turns at the sound of his voice and her face brightens and she runs over to him, arms wrapping around him.
"You're back! Finally!" usually she's more reserved with her emotions but a year had been an excruciatingly long time to be without Shuangxing. It's the longest they'd ever been apart. Just as quickly as she'd gotten excited she pulls away and her reservation returns just because who knows who could come upon them.
He laughs when she runs over and hugs her back tightly. A year truly is too
long for him to be away from his twin, to be away from Lotus Pier. When she
pulls away, he gives her a grin. He had waived off the disciples so that no
one really is around for their reunion. He pulls her back in for a tight
hug.
"Tell me of everything I've missed. Your letters could only say so much."
Cangdian is all too happy to hug her twin a few times honestly. She laughs at his first request upon returning. "All the girls have just been bereft with your absence?"
He knows that they have turned heads upon growing older. His sister
certainly is not delicate flower but is a strong woman and in that, she has
her beauty that leaves quite a few disciples wishing for a spar or two with
her. Shuangxing himself is also oblivious when it comes to noticing the
girls vying for his attention, not a single one of them seemed to catch his
interest. It is something their father makes a note of periodically but
does not push for either of them to accept an arranged marriage.
"They still want you," Cangdian says and she can't blame them. She's enough like their father that she doesn't make any friends even if there are some that do seek her out regularly but then they often remember why no one else does. "Every girl in Yunmeng wants you -- and some of the boys too," Cangdian adds with a small grin just because she knows he has absolutely no interest at all in the girls in Yunmeng -- or anyone in Yunmeng.
