He's never been to Lotus Pier - his a-die hadn't really let him too much out of Qinghe, not with everything he has to do and learn to be his heir first. But still!

Lotus Pier definitely didn't go behind this door, just like the room he'd been in, which looked like Qinghe and smelt like Qinghe, didn't belong behind that door either. It was weird - it was all weird.

"This is the weirdest place I've ever been," he mutters under his breath, walking to the stall where the donkey lurks. "Okay, donkey, I'm going to let you out, but you better not kick me okay?"
