"You have not, and I admit, daughter, the things you seem drawn to makes me wonder exactly how your love would look or who or what you could love like I loved..." She says, biting her tongue and scowling as the memory of how that love had ended up rises up like bile in her throat "But you want love advice! Every mother dreams of the day she can talk of love with her daughter! I can tell you much, about love and of lust. But"
"It still hurts to remember what you used to have with that piece of shit, before he betrayed you, ripped out your heart and killed Xuebai?" You say, knowing that's exactly what will keep her from spending days and nights talking your ear off about love and its dirtier and more wild growing sibling
"Love is poison" She says coldly "It can be medicinal, pleasant even, delightful and intoxicating. But too much of it, or finding it in a bad place or handling it improperly can kill you more readily and cruely than any of my concotions or techniques. So be wary Huanliuxue, when you eventually find love, to make sure it is grown from good soil and to not grow to reliant upon it"
"Hah as if I'd make such a mistake!" You brashly declare as you work shoulder to shoulder with your mother
"You never do anything in half measures, you're easily distracted, prone to whimsies and have a focus and determination that's seen you throw yourself into the jaws of death and challenge peaks beyond your reckoning. Its worked out so far, but do not underestimate love, girl" She says seriously and sternly, gently twisting your intact, pointed ear as you caterwaul in exaggerated pain "Promise me that the man, or woman, you eventually devout your heart to is trustworthy and deserving of your affections and all of you. Don't make the same mistake as this foolish, self centered and vengeful old witch has!"
"Mom" You say, breath halting in your throat, tongue all tangled and tie as she suddenly grips your shoulders, tears faintly glinting in them
"Promise me, Huan. Promise me. Don't think Love will last forever, that it is enough on its own for dragons and tigers to coexist, that it can solve any problems between you and him, fix both of you, make you your bests selves and' She rambles before stiffening and shaking her head "Just promise me you'll be more discerning than the Toad I was and am when you go looking for love, hopping from pond to pond, puddle to muddy puddle, doomed to remember waters so clear yet that had proven more toxic than anything I could create with the meager poisons of nature. Find a pool that is as pure and clear as it looks, without rot beneath it"
You, for once, don't know what to say and have nothing to say, as your mother's pained warning sinks into you as you realize just how badly she was still hurt from the betrayal of Xue Laohue and the murder of Xuebai, even after getting her revenge and satisfying her grudge. You want to promise her, but you know how you are and
