Yang Guifei... The name of a consort, right? To an emperor. [ thoughtful. ] Tang, I think. The pipa, the name - now that I'm connecting it, it does make sense.
[ what self respecting chinese modern extremely well red nerd wouldn't have known this. shameful. ] Admittedly, I don't remember a lot about her story - but, I thought it was a coincidence.
[ she won't because it's not from a ballet or a typical song used for figure skating routines, but maybe it'll come to her after the weekend gauntlet.
she nods. he got it. ]
It's hard to believe, isn't it? Even in a situation like this. [ her lips curve a little in an enigmatic smile. ] And it's almost as if history will repeat itself tomorrow.
I'm learning that many things I've thought couldn't possibly exist exist here. [ there's a little smile to match - similar, enigmatic, though it doesn't last. ] It does seem like it, though. They did tell us to brace ourselves.

pretentious but also livelier than she usually seems. ]
[ oh that is telling. fei du makes a little noise of appreciation and recognition. ]
I see, I see. [ interesting. this makes her making out murder sure a thing the next day ] There doesn't seem to be much room for the arts in this city, does there... it's a shame.

[ fei du is here somewhere. vibing. there were snatches of quiet music playing, but he turns it off when he's spoken to, and gives her a smile. ]
