Notes: Reference to my made up childhood for Roy, spoilers aren't any different to the ones in those theme responses. Putting it up early tonight because I'm heading out and don't know when I'll be back or how tired I'll be :P
Seventy-four: Great Distance
Once, when Roy was still young enough to remember Shi-kuen – the boy he had been – he travelled to Xing. His foster-mother's business took her there, and she was charitable enough to let him come along for the ride.
It was very different to the Xing he barely remembered. Madame pointed out that if she recalled his information correctly, he was born in a small town, and wouldn't have seen the big cities often, if at all. Still, Roy couldn't help but look at the vaguely familiar architecture, and the bustling markets, and think that his real home lay back along the path they had just taken.
