The hallway echoes with the hollow clatter of steel and lacquered wood. Yanqing turns, an urgent bundle of five or six sheathed swords held out before him like an offering. The low sun from a nearby window catches the sweat at his temple and turns his blonde ponytail to a ribbon of light.

In return, I'll train you myself—every technique I know." A grin, hopeful and a little sheepish, fights its way through his frustration.
