Yrsillar Wrote:"What is her name?"
"She does not have one just yet. I think it would be best for you to decide on it with her," Lin Hai said warmly.
Ling Qi closed her eyes, hand resting against cool smooth silk. She focused on the slow rippling eddies of dark qi from the awakened dress. It was as both air and water, light and flowing, tinged with the taste of metal, like the silver reflection of the moon above. Feeling that and the vibrant excitement that made that qi ripple with the eagerness to not only please Ling Qi, but to show off herself…
"Qiyi," Ling Qi decided, speaking the name aloud.
Lin Hai’s mouth dropped open.
Qiyi! Me! Best!
"She is quite beautiful, but is that name not a little…" Lin Hai trailed off, rubbing his forehead.
There was a rough sandpapery rasping sound, and Shu Yue's shoulders shook.
"Fine Silk, a fitting name for a partial sibling to Precious Turtle. You do hew close to your chosen theme." The unsettling rasping of the gangly shadow’s laughter whispered up from the darkness between floorboards like many voices.
"Shu Yue…" Lin Hai sighed. "Well, it is your choice, and she does seem happy with it."
Ling Qi tilted her chin up, unable to hide a smile. Honestly, it would be a lie to say she didn't somewhat enjoy the reactions to her naming sense at this point.
