I'm being mad fun of. 🥺🥺🥺 I just mean that I like things because I like things. If orchids weren't noble, would you still like them?
You *are* weird no matter what, I'm surprised it took you so long to figure out~ 🤭 The Arts are different from the arts! The Arts is what people sometimes call magic (cultivation?), but I guess you're talking about actual arts? Like painting and poetry and stuff?
I would have a great time on ☁️⛰️, and I would have so many questions stuffed into my pockets by the time I got there that they would have to host a lecture just for me. But don't worry, I'll make sure to set aside time for you humility lectures, too~ (You will need someone to observe for correctness, right?)
Do you have a lot of rangers then? And rangerly-like things? Nature? 🏹 and 🌊! That makes sense, I think. Especially for you. 🤭 No wonder you're so knowledgeable about living in the woods. Does that mean you also know how to 🏹 as well as ⚔️? You would have to 🏹 in order to hunt, right?
(Are you asking me to grade your essay again? Is that 📜⭐? Are you sure you can take it?)
You are, but you started it. And if orchids weren't noble would they still be orchids at all? So how can I answer, if I like them for what they are, and what they are makes them noble?
See what I mean about you starting it? But yes, I mean actual arts and not magic or cultivation. Like calligraphy, and math.
The worst part is I believe you would. You would set an impossible standard for all the students after you, and they'd put your picture up probably on the rules wall, and you'd need my humility lectures very sorely (and have to throw so many things due to my correctness).
I suppose it depends on what you mean? By now, people who join the sect live and cultivate there, but of course go night hunting and kite shooting in the wider area. I guess when you think about it there is a lot of nature compared to some places? Though ☁️⛰️ has plenty too. But it's not in a barren area or a busy city with only manicured grounds at least. And yes, I am very good at 🏹, though I can hunt without it too. I can catch fish and pheasants with my bare hands. In between the humility lectures. 📜⭐! I can take it.
I started nothing! 🥺! But I'll conceded that you are maybe right. Or at least that you can like whatever 🌼 you want to like. I basically said that already, but I'll say it again more specifically so you can have material to practice your humility lessons on. (Which I am also bringing small rocks to. I will make more room in my pockets! I'll have a pocket for questions and a pocket for rocks.)
Next important question: Calligraphy I can see, but who calls math an art??? Isn't math the opposite of art??? Or at the very least a completely different thing!
Aren't you afraid of things biting you when you catch them? Or pecking you. Or... whatever fish do. Do fish bite? They have teeth, right? They look sharp. The whole fish looks sharp. 🔪🐟
I'm sure I don't need to practice the humility lessons but thank you for your permission to like 🌼. Which I graciously extend to you in turn.
I don't know what you mean, they're just arts. Archery, calligraphy, ceremony, why not math? They're all things you aren't born able to do, that can be very pleasing to see done. There's no contradiction here.
The fish are not sharp for the most part, didn't you live on a boat? Did those fish have teeth? I'm shaking my head at you. Besides, you don't grab fish or pheasants by the sharp parts. Do you need very humble lessons in this?
Isn't art for... looking at things? Or listening to things? Stuff that people consider beautiful or elegant or makes them feel certain ways. Math sounds like a weird thing to get emotional about. And ceremonies, too??? Unless they're like performances? I guess archery could be a performance too, but that's a bit of a stretch.
I lived on a boat, but that doesn't mean I touched a bunch of 🐟! I didn't do the fishing or the cooking, so the only thing the 🐟 touched was my mouth. 🍤🤤 (And yes, some of them had teeth! Lots of teeth! 🦈🦈🦈 You can find some really scary things out in the ocean.)
Are you also giving humble lessons on those? ☁️ is going to show me how to cook things, but I don't know if that means 🐟... Or 🍖 in general, even. I want to learn how to hunt! Pretty please? 🥺
This is ghosts all over again. I don't understand why being good at these things can't be an art. I promise if you do enough of any of them, you'll feel some way or other.
Scary things like sand cultivators who don't cook or fish? What did you do, then?
I can give humble lessons on hunting! If you throw in that last half a ⭐. Cooking 🍖 too, so you won't just learn how to make vegetables that are bad for your cultivation.
I am taking notes, but they mostly read that you have emotions about weird things. But fine! If that's the case, then I'm also very good at arts! Math! How are you good at ceremony? What does that even mean? Are there certain ceremonies? Or just any?
What do you mean what did I do? In general? For food? We had a cook, you know. Everyone had designated responsibilities, so I didn't need to cook. I just had to make sure that I showed up for mealtimes.
The half a star is there so that you don't get complacent! I can't barter it away, or you won't have any reason to improve your essays. But teach me hunting anyway! And cooking 🍖! I can find something else to throw in! What else is worth hunting and cooking lessons?
I'm sure you're very good at all kinds of arts I just don't know to be looking out for! Not counting the magical ones, I guess. And I don't know what you mean by certain ceremonies. Any, I guess? Like knowing the order to greet people in, or what to do in a shrine, or tea. Just doing things right. How is that certain, or any? Answering questions is not one of the arts.
So haughty, this sand cultivator, just has to show up! 🤭 But what were your designated responsibilities?
🤔 I don't know, what have you got to offer? I'm open to a trade.
Oh, so it's just... etiquette? That's an art? I guess that would make sense. Fancy people are very particular about that sort of thing. There's a lot of rules for all of that stuff, isn't there?
It's not haughty! 🚫🤭! Showing up was hard at first! I forgot a bunch. Or pretended to forget. It was weird, sitting down at a table with strangers. I didn't know what to say or do. I'd never eaten with other people like that before.
As for my responsibilities... I'm the bosun, so I take care of the ship. When there's damage that needs to be repaired or maintenance to be done, I figure out the where and how and what supplies are needed. When we're in port, I make sure we've got everything we need to keep her in good shape. It's a *very* important job because our ship is our livelihood. And also she's just a very special ship, so she deserves the best care. 💖⛵️ I also help navigate, keep tabs on the hold for any new inventory, and keep the ship's log. That's a record of where we've been on which days, the weather, what we encountered, etc. Which means I used to have to get up at dawn to measure the position of the sun and get our bearings... but I don't have to do that here, obviously~ 😴😴😴 (I hope you can see why I had to leave the cooking to someone else!)
What do you want to trade??? How am I supposed to offer anything if I don't know what you want? 🤔 Is there something I could teach you? It sounds like you already know so much... 😔
It's an art if there's enough to it, and there is. Are you disappointed in me for knowing something so boring?
Oh I see! I'm sorry for 🤭 then. I guess it can be hard having to eat with strangers for the first time! Maybe that's why there's a rule about not talking while eating. And that is a lot of responsibility, so I guess it's fine that you haven't touched any fish. It sounds like the ⛵️ was in good hands with you. It sounds like running a boat is like running a sect and like you were a good high ranking disciple who deserved to eat in peace. (🚫🤭) I did not know this sand cultivator was so responsible!
Yes, maybe I know too much to learn any new things. So maybe I just have to teach you out of the goodness of my heart. 😔 Until you learn to cook something and can make it for me.
Why would I be disappointed?? What a weird 👻, thinking that knowing things could make him boring. You don't think that, do you? You better not! I think it's fun that you know a lot of things. Smart 👻! Clever 👻! ☁️ told me about how you've used the things you learn to make fun of people who deserve it, and I could never find that boring. 😔 Very heroic 👻!
Our ship *is* in very good hands! I don't know about me being a high ranking anything, though. We only had five people. We just did the jobs that needed to be done, so it feels weird to assign ranks to that... I guess I did have people assigned to me when we rescued the 🦴👻, though. But I don't really know what to call that. I just had to show them around the ship and make sure they knew which jobs to do. I will not object to being responsible, though! I'm very responsible! 😌✨✨✨
If you teach me how to hunt and cook meat, I'll make you a bunch of things! 🍠🥞🥘🍜🍤🥮! Is that a deal???
