"I like playing with you too!" 

Heeeeeeeeeeee.

"We should go meet daddy now!" she says after a moment's thought.

"Okay!" 

He looks around, realizing for the first time that he isn't actually sure which way to go to get back to the Cloud Recesses. 

...HMMMMMMMM. She's not sure either. Explore?

...Okay. 

He's kind of scared, he's never been this lost before, but he's trying really really hard to be brave as they try to find their way back.

She tells him stories as they walk to help distract him. (She's pretty much zero scared; this just seems like an Adventure.)

Eventually they make their way to the edge of the forest and the Cloud Recesses. It's nowhere near where they left from but at least now they know where they are. 

Good!!!

She leads him back to her daddy's rooms.

He stops when he sees where she's leading him. 

"Your dad is Hanguang-jun?" he asks, awestruck. 

"Yeah!"

"Whoah..." 

He starts following her again, wide-eyed. 

"He's not scary," she explains, leading the rest of the way. "He's my daddy! Though he is also super cool."

"He's a big hero who fought in the Sunshot Campaign and goes where the chaos is! He's amazing! I can't believe he's your dad." 

Heeeee. Her dad does so many cool things.

"Yeah! He's a good dad."

"Everyone says he's in seclusion right now for some reason." 

"He got hurt really bad. He's resting."

"Ohh," he says, nodding. He knows that sometimes people get hurt on night-hunts, and even the best cultivators can end up fighting creatures that are strong enough to really hurt them before they go down. 

"So it's important not to jump on him, and he can't leave bed..."

"I wouldn't jump on Hanguang-jun!!!"

She snickers. "I would! If he wasn't hurt."

"That's different, he's not my dad."

She nods, considering this. "I don't think he'd get you in trouble, though, for anything. He's nice."

He looks dubious. "But he's a grownup." 

Serious nod. "But he's a nice grownup!"

"He's important! He's the Sect Leader's brother and he's Lan Qiren's nephew and he's Hanguang-jun and more important people always get you in more trouble if you break the rules in front of them."
