Chapter 20: What the Spring Wants
The hot spring of Redcliff was a black coin of ice in the morning.
Luo stood at the edge of it in his shirtsleeves, with Jinghan's bite on his throat and the ember-red hall smoking behind him.
Three hundred disciples had cleaned the courtyard overnight without being told.
None of them would meet his eye, in a way that was almost reverence.
"Her voice was different last night," Luo said. "In the jar."
"I know."
"She sounded like she'd been put in the dark for the rest of her life."
Jinghan took his hand.
Under his ribs the girl stirred, small and wary.
"Can I ask something?" she said through both of them.
The sound rang on the ice.
"Anything," said Luo.
"Last night, when you took me out of the stone."
Her voice shook.
"You told me to come back because it was warm."
"Yes."
"Why do you let me stay?"
The two men looked at each other.
"Because we can't make you leave," Jinghan said honestly. "And because we wouldn't want to, not in the dark. But you must want to go."
"I do."
It came very plainly.
