"Hello, Lan Xichen, I'm Isabella Swan. If it matters, my surname is the second one."

Lan Xichen speaks, and Wangji translates. 

(I) (see) 

(Wang) (ji) (tells) (me) (you) (say) (you) (can) (see) (the) (future)

"Yes. If you have - I don't know if you have decks of cards around here but it can't be too hard to find a way to prove it."

(How) (far) (ahead) (do) (you) (see)

"About an hour, but it takes longer to extract information I have to do a series of conditional actions to get."

Jingyi starts to say something excitedly, then stops himself and continues in a slightly more subdued manner. Xichen raises an eyebrow and asks him something, to which he replies slightly evasively before Sizhui says something. Xichen nods. 

(I) (have) (a) (string) (of) (numbers) (in) (mind) (which) (I) (can) (tell) (you) (in) (the) (next) (few) (minutes)

"Seven eight two four four one nine one seven three."

(Yes)

(That) (is) (very) (impressive) 

(Wang) (ji) (tells) (me) (you) (have) (no) (idea) (how) (you) (came) (here)

"Yeah, sorry, I didn't see it happen. I was on my way to work and then I was a few minutes from where he found me."

(If) (you) (were) (merely) (a) (cultivator) (from) (very) (far) (away) (I) (might) (have) (guesses) (but) (I) (do) (not) 

(What) (do) (you) (plan) (going) (forward)

"I need to work on expanding the magic that lets me talk to my brother, so that I'll be able to do it from here. This may take months. In the meantime I'm happy to earn my keep predicting things."

Permalink

(What) (does) (working) (on) (expanding) (the) (magic) (look) (like)

Permalink

"It looks like me sitting around and thinking about it."

Permalink

(Jingyi) (says) (cultivation) (is) (unknown) (to) (you) (and) (you) (had) (some) (notable) (success) (with) (meditation) (exercises)

Permalink

"Yeah! I was precogging at the same time and it turns out that rather than messing up how meditative I am, it lets me remember meditating more than I actually meditate and that seems to also help!"

(With) (your) (unique) (ability) (any) (sect) (would) (accept) (you) (as) (a) (guest) (cultivator) 

(We) (would) (be) (very) (happy) (to) (have) (you) (but) (not) (everyone) (finds) (our) (ways) (palatable)

"What are your, uh, controversial ways?"

Permalink

(We) (have) (almost) (four) (thousand) (rules) 

Permalink

 

"I have an eidetic memory and that might be too many."

Permalink

(Many) (of) (them) (are) (common) (sense) (courtesy) (but) (others) (are) (not) (and) (the) (sentiment) (is) (not) (uncommon) 

(Absent) (the) (eidetic) (memory) (part)

"I won't be able to fluently read the local language any time soon either, which could make learning them inconvenient too."

(We) (can) (work) (with) (that)

(Your) (situation) (is) (unusual) (and) (there) (is) (no) (reason) (why) (reasonable) (accommodations) (can) (not) (be) (made) 

(However) (if) (you) (prefer) (I) (can) (supply) (you) (with) (a) (letter) (of) (recommendation) (to) (go) (elsewhere)

(The) (sect) (leaders) (of) (Qing) (he) (Nie) (or) (Lan) (ling) (Jin) (would) (take) (someone) (I) (recommended) (in) (a) (heartbeat)

(I) (have) (less) (connection) (with) (Yun) (meng) (Jiang) (but) (their) (sect) (leader) (is) (not) (so) (foolish) (as) (to) (overlook) (your) (value)

(Wangji's eyes tighten slightly as Sect Leader Jiang is mentioned. She has little experience reading his expressions; she may not even notice it.) 

(She is highly unlikely to notice the sadness in the set of his lips. Wei Ying would have loved her reaction to the number of rules.)

"Honestly I'm kind of curious what you have all those rules about! If I hate them I might wind up appreciating a letter of recommendation somewhere else but honestly it's possible that I'm so culturally bizarre that having concrete guidelines for lots of things normally left implicit would be helpful even if I eventually preferred to live somewhere less strict."

(I) (suspect) (you) (do) (not) (wish) (to) (listen) (to) (all) (of) (them) (now) (without) (having) (even) (decided) (to) (stay) (but) (a) (handful) (are)
