Foxed [1st/2nd Draft]

Chapter 1: Yuan

Author note: I've really done a lot of rearranging. This first chapter is now the fourth draft, but the rest of the chapters will be third drafts. Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. Hope you all enjoy the changes. I don't know Chinese/Pinyin - I used a translator.

Willing, I mean." She stumbled over her words and cleared her throat. "I will be ready. I have to be ready."

"He's ancient compared to you!"

"Suí tā ba!"

I shook my head, dislodging my glasses. I lifted a finger and pushed the black rimmed spectacles back up my nose. "I can't let it go."

"You know age doesn't matter anymore. I wish Momma would stop filling your head with that nonsense. It could've been worse, Kender. He could've been worse. Do you understand? I'm lucky compared to the others."

"Do you - wait... are you looking forward to this?" I asked.
