tells Mu Qing that he’s quite strong and capable. Mu Qing acts haughty about it, but secretly preens at the praise. The prince says that they have to leave now, but that he’d like it very much if Mu Qing would join them on their journey. Perhaps they could learn from each other. Mu Qing considers

By the time the spirit is weakened and the Prince has figured out a way to soothe it (though he doesn’t share how with Mu Qing) Mu Qing is exhausted and his limbs feel heavy. The guard is also winded, the inn destroyed by the earth bending he’d done in an attempt to box it in. The Prince returns and
