Hitched

Scotland, Earlston, 22:30;

Xinguan ate their meal together before the girl went to bed, exhausted. She'd lately realized that ever since the surgery, she would get tired over the smallest of activities. She couldn't practice her combat moves with as much ease as she was able to do before the entire 'poisoning' incident. Neither was she able to read or speak for long durations without her head starting to ache. How vexatious!

Xi Yuan was glad about it, though. He knew that her lost strength was upsetting her. But he also was aware that she'd regain it, sooner or later. Until then, at least her body would make her get proper sleep and consume a healthy diet. Sometimes, it was important for even the mightiest of warriors to slow down and let go of their swords, in order to fight even bigger battles. She needed time to recuperate, and one couldn't rush such things, right?
