Bai Li's Visit

Xing took a quick bath and after she finished getting dressed, she felt the usual presence around,

"Bai Li", she smiled at him and he in his dark robes looked dapper as usual and his red marble eyes held a deep contemplative look. He looked calmer than the last time she saw him and he looked a bit apologetic looking at her.

"Your hair is still wet", he pushed a chair for her to sit. "You cannot be too careless with your health like before", he started drying her hair. Somehow Xing felt like there is more to that statement.

"I can do it myself, you are no longer my maid", Xing tried to get the towel back but Bai Li persisted and he was as gentle as always.

"Is there something wrong with Fei Lian? And Mazu?", she asked with her head bowed and playing with her fingers. She could not feel them around her and she partly missed them.
