Well, you've told me your age - or something close to it. I think that's good enough.
[ the last bit of cheer fades from xie lian's face. ] ...The thing that I will share with you, is something that almost no one knows. I thought...until today, even, I thought I was the last person alive who knew it.
[ his mouth twitches up a little. ] Well. I suppose in some ways, I still am. At any rate.
...This is not the first time that I have dealt with something like this, Brother Goat. At least... like what we dealt with over this past weekend. The memory I would like you to hold onto for me is simply a sentence, if that's alright, and not a pleasant one. If something happens, and I forget everything that I know - or, if something else happens to me in my time here, then I don't want the knowledge to disappear.
It may not make much sense without context, but that, I think, is for the best. [ he takes a deep breath, loosening the stone at his chest he's held onto since his first descent. ]
"The human face disease can only be cured with shed blood."

That is all.
