"So when were you with the Eldest?" Taz asked.
"We were there for the Peach Harvest, and for about two months after that," Renyi said.
"How was she?" Taz said.
"She was Great-grandmother," Junxin said.
"Same as always," Ruiman said.
"And the staff? The rest of the Household? Were they happy? Busy?" Taz asked.
"Great-grandmother's place always runs smoothly," Renyi said. "Why do you ask?"
"Weird rumors," Taz said.
"Nothing weird there," Guangjing said. "New cook, but he's really good."
"Honeyed pecans and alligator pears," Renyi said.
"Oh," Fangxian said. "When we ride the roller coasters, we get some of the pink fluf

I wish to apologize to the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco for certain liberties I have taken with their physical reality.
"Why aren't you coming to the ballet?" Pol asked.
"Bring it around the narrow end twice. Under again, then up in the center of the main loop, right under your chin," Taz said. "My grandmother sent me an edict, written on silk, complete with red bindings and the eight tassels: she says I'm to go to the Museum. And down through the other two loops so it's on top of the narrow end. Now, without disarranging the main knot, gently tighten it all by pulling on the narrow end." He finished putting in his p

Earthbound Gods
Earthbound gods, while of limited transcendent power, are the only gods able to act directly on the physical plane.
Earthbound gods are given to interrupted lives, with decade — or millennium — long absences. Their returns can be either dramatic, with lightning splitting the rock or aged tree enclosing the divine corpse or the site of the tomb resurfacing during a volcanic eruption or other unlikely display, or simple reincarnation. Most opt for simple reincarnation.
In any case, they depart and return on their own whims.

"It's overcast. Just stay within arm's length and you'll be fine," Ann said, and walked out of the elevator and across the lobby.
Going through the revolving door and joining her on the sidewalk, Raoul said: "And it's about to rain." When she ignored that, he asked: "Any toy store?"

The Grammarian and the Ignorant Young Writer
A Fable
A Young Writer climbed the Mountain where the Grammarian lived in a cave overlooking a sheer cliff. He asked: "How do I write what was said and also who said it properly? I know I should have learned this at school or just by paying attention to what I read, but I am not able to write who said what correctly." The Young Writer flushed in shame and looked away from the Grammarian. "And sometimes," the Young Writer admitted in an embarrassed whisper, "I am incapable of capitalizing in the standard way."
The Grammarian said, "Yes, you should have paid better attention to your teachers, or observed how published prose is present
