十六 (Sixteen)

I let out a breath as I run my fingers over the water of the lotus pond. It's a fairly big lotus pond. I have not seen these... since I was still at home in Lotus Pier. I wonder... looking down at my own self, if they miss me. Yanli, Lan Zhan... and... and... Jiang... Jiang Cheng. I grip my head. Why does my head always hurt? 

It's been hurting ever since I woke up. I've mostly ignored the pain but every time I think of them it hurts. Han Yo seems to be a good healer. He mends the pain. I take up a lotus seed and pop it in my mouth. I let out a breath as the taste reminds me of home. I turn and see the little rabbit playing in the water. I pick it up. 

"You're a little beauty you know that right?" I ask.

It just looks at me.

"Heh, you probably don't understand a word of me." I chuckle.

I run my fingers through its hair. Yet... my finger nags something. I wince. I yank it back. I see blood dripping from my finger. How could I have been cut by a rabbit's fur? Maybe it has something stuck in it's fur.

"Nothing like a good bath can fix." I say.

I place it in the water and splash water on it. 

"Don't worry. I won't drown you." I chuckle.

I notice blood spilling from the fur, streaming out. My eyes narrow. How badly did I cut myself?
