There's someone like that in my life, too. He's the Heavenly Emperor, the one in charge of all the gods, and has always been there to guide me - when things go astray, he is the first person I look to to try and understand.
[ laughs in spoilers............
anyway ] So then, Lessa, what does that make you? You said you're a god, too, right? Since he's the Creator, was he something like the progenitor of other gods...?
A mountain goat... [ xie lian pauses, thinking about how extremely cute and tiny lessa was in their little adventure. he looks like, vaguely sparkly eyed remembering it. cute. ] ...Is that why you were one when we finally found you? To think, that your name here was even so literal!
the recollection of the destruction in that strange place caused by that young man still sits with xie lian, even now. he's quiet for a moment, thinking it over. lessa didn't regret saving him - and xie lian wouldn't have either, in his shoes. it's one of the things he respects and admires about him, and has since they started talking.
xie lian softens a little, leaning back against the tree. ]
...Will you tell me more about that? Now that you remember...?

[ he pauses, thinking of how to explain. ]
I was born as a mountain goat, but was made into a third god under very specific circumstances.
