I see... what was it like, living in a port town?

[sacredpath]

I couldn't say much about it, it wasn't remarkable.

[~mysterious~]

[jiaohua]

[very mysterious.]

Well... this view is remarkable. I just wish we had not needed to die to see it.

[sacredpath]

I suppose there are pros and cons of any situation. No beaches for you?

[jiaohua]

[she shakes her head.]

No... our home in the capital was inland, so I have rarely seen the ocean.

[sacredpath]

Will you tell me more about where you're from?

[jiaohua]

Of course. The scenery is really very beautiful in most parts of the country... I live - er, lived, in the capital now, and it is crowded with people but also with beautiful architecture. The estates have the most lovely gardens... [she sighs a little wistfully.] When I was younger, we lived in Suzhou. It is not exactly remote, but it was a much smaller area and much less crowded. The peach trees were beautiful when their blossoms bloomed.

[sacredpath]

[rich...]

It's a pity the gardens here aren't quite so well-maintained.

[jiaohua]

[being a concubine pays well...?]

It is, but I suppose even Heaven cannot have everything.

[sacredpath]

Maybe the parts we're restricted from...

[jiaohua]

Perhaps, yes. [...] I wonder if that in itself is some kind of a test, to see how we react to being kept out of a place. Would they use that to measure whether or not we should be "redeemed"?
