The tales say the Moon's rejected suitor collapsed into seafoam and was borne away by the tide.

Not all tales are true.

Hahn climbs up the knotted rope Krisuk let over the side of the Inner Wall, bearing a brace of birds. The moon shines, catching on his shadow-spun hair, and he says thanks to Yue for staying bright enough for him to see when he hunted in the Agrarian Zone.

The guards on the wall look uncomfortable to see him, but they always did. Something about being crazy. Fuckers.

Never easy on those left behind- are they calling him crazy because he talks to Yue, or is it the general assumption, like you ought to go mad after this sort of thing?

Because he talks to the moon and says she's his betrothed. They don't know he's ex-dead, too, or they'd lock him up for his own good.

*nod* It almost sounds like he's in Ba Sing Se here. They'd know this story if he were in the North.

*looks at the mention of Agrarian Zone and Inner Wall*

Yes, took me a bit to get it.
