“Yes, the war does ruin things like that. I can’t even go out and sit in the flower field I love so much and watch butterflies go by. I guess the only thing I can thank the war for is meeting new people… People like you.” He chuckled softly.
“Me? No, I can’t say that there was anything specific that brought me here. Just trying to stretch my legs and go for a walk, that’s...

“Oh! I didn’t see you there… Hello Ma Dai. How have you been lately?”
“Lately? Good question—
—I was hoping for a little piece and quiet, but eh… I can’t really expect much with the war still going on. How about you? Is there something that’s brought you here?”

tea-distraction:
“Huh?” Xiao Qiao took her cup and gently blew it to let it cool down; she took a little sip of her tea and sighed contently. Though she was a sore loser when it came to their tea-offs, Xiao Qiao had to admit that her dear friend and tea-rival had great taste in tea. “Oh, I came for our tea-offs, duh!” Xiao Qiao replied with a laugh. Yes, that was one of the reasons. Xiao Qiao...

First Day of Hell [For darknessbehindasmile]
They ate in silence, which Ma Dai had no outward qualms about. When did anything ever bother him? Er, well, at least visibly? Not very many could tear down those walls of his, not even his cousin. In fact, there was only one he really knew that could see beyond that broad smile and those acts of kindness when things got rough, and that was his mother. Of course, she kept what she knew to...

First Day of Hell [For darknessbehindasmile]
Hearing something mumbled softly when the bathroom door opened, Ma Dai lifted his head and blinked. There he stood a little confused, just glancing over his shoulder in confusion. What…? He said something, but he couldn’t quite hear it. Sucking in a breath, he parted his lips to respond. Just as a sound began to escape him, he froze once that second door clicked shut behind him. Frowning, he shook...

First Day of Hell [For darknessbehindasmile]
Where Ma Dai was not necessarily and early riser, he made an exception for today. It was his first day to venture off into the city with his cousin for school, after all. You know, for post-secondary education to make it in life. He knew how his cousin could be, so Dai took the initiative to get up and get things ready; albeit he was still tired. Who wouldn’t be at this ungodly hour of the...

tea-distraction:
The mess? What mess? Oh, Xiao Qiao had seen worse. She lived in Wu with the Wu Quartet, after all. Lu Xun himself wasn’t a messy person, but the other three were disastrous. Even Lord Lu Meng himself couldn’t be half-assed to clean up after himself. Despite how messy some of the men of Wu were, she still loved them. They were her family; Wu was all about family. She loved the...

tea-distraction:
She blinked. How could one forget a dream so… peaceful and happy so quickly? Xiao Qiao remembered all of her dreams, even the bad ones. Perhaps Ma Dai wasn’t that big on dreams.
Oh well.
Xiao Qiao did as she was told, and turned away from him. She heard him grunt and groan from his pain— was he truly okay? Xiao Qiao couldn’t imagine what pressure he was putting himself on...

Xiao Qiao turned around.
“Oh!” she exclaimed. “Yeah, sure, no problem!”
Walking over to his side, Xiao Qiao’s skinny fingers tampered with the laces. “Let’s see here…” This was easy to do. She’d often help Zhou Yu remove his breast plate after battle. “Benevolence? That’s a funny word to say. I like it anyhow, though~” Xiao Qiao admitted with a smile.
“A world of kindness or...

Oh, that smile.
Dammit, he always got her with it.
Xiao Qiao let out a little giggle as the large cap was lifted. “Okay, Lord Ma Dai.” she gave a nod and turned the other way. She honestly didn’t mind him changing while she was around— not implying anything dirty, of course. Xiao Qiao trusted Ma Dai enough to know that he would never try anything funny on her while he got...

She made a disgrunted face when his hat was put on her head. Great, her hair was going to be a mess. She tied it up all nicely, too!
“Woah! Hey, watch it— I’m fragile!”
Xiao Qiao’s face went from a porcelain peach to a light shade of red as she was swept into the soldier’s arms. It definitely caught her off guard, as she wasn’t expecting him to carry her like this.
… Like...

tea-distraction:
“Excuse me, do you know where I can find Lord Ma Dai?” Xiao Qiao asked the servants. She would receive the same old answer; “No, we have not,” they would reply. Xiao Qiao would mentally sigh and ask herself, ‘How do these people manage to keep their jobs when they can’t even locate a soldier?’ but she politely responded with a ‘Thank you’ and continued her search.
It appeared...

tea-distraction:
She followed Sun Shang Xiang to Shu, with the intention of having another tea match with her rival, Ma Dai. Since it was just a tea match, Zhou Yu had granted her permission to travel to Shu with Sun Shang Xiang. Xiao Qiao would return home the following day after her stay in Shu. The young lady of Wu’s mind was clouded with many worries and doubts, so she figured a good...

Introduction
Hey there! For those of you who don’t know me, the name’s Ma Dai. I am a soldier for the Kingdom of Shu under my lords Liu Bei and Liu Shan, and training strategically under my lord Zhuge Liang. I’m pleased to make your acquaintance! I do hope we can become good friends in the near future. It’s a pleasure to meet you—no, really. I’m really happy we met.
