*Abbot Zhuge Xi-Qun quietly walks through his new Buddhist temple, quietly trimming lotuses with a small pair of sheers. He looks young, of course, but different. Not as... fiery, or passionate.*
Voice: Abbot?
Xi-Qun: Ah, young Quei. What do you wish to inquire?
*He straightens from his lotus plants and looks serenely at the young Asian girl.*
Quei: It's about your new initiates. They are.... not... what I expected, per se.
Xi-Qun: I know. They are merely... students of our way, not full initiates. They are using New Shao as a base for their own order.
Quei: If they are students, then why do they not attend the meditation sessions, or the martial practices?
Xi-Qun: Some do. Some have taken very nicely to our ways, using the peace as ways to unlock their.... special abilities. Others do not, and take a more passionate route. They either practice alone, or with another group away from the compound. Now, I sense that there is something else...?
Quei: Indeed, Abbot. They have elected an official representative. He.... wishes to talk to you about their predicament.
Xi-Qun: Very well. Send him in.
*Quei bows and backs away as Abbot Zhuge returns to his flowers.*

*quei Bows And Backs Away As Abbot Zhuge Returns To His Flowers.*
*Xi-Qun can sense the young man as he enters, his destructive power being so great.*
Xi-Qun: Well, you must be the Draomn Morairi+ representative, then?
Representative: I am indeed, your Most Serene.
Xi-Qun: Please, call me Xi as we are of the same rank now. Merely leaders of a small, uniquely gifted group.
Representative: Even though your people are a race unto themselves, while we are merely a tattered group of different languages and cultures tied together by one miraculous event?
Xi-Qun: Is that not what all of existence is, my young friend?
*Indeed, the Representative is young, only about nineteen, while Xi is twenty-seven.*
Representative: That can be contemplated later. Perhaps now is a time to converse on the Draomn Morairi's position?
Xi-Qun: Of course. But perhaps I can have your name first?
*The representative smiles a smile that would be almost familiar to Tara.*
