[Ling is here just for the food, okay. He's over there, chowing down, smiling at anyone he sees, but more interested in eating than... well, anything else.]

[itsaxingthing]

I see. The Yao clan is in fact not closely related to the Emperor at all, save for myself. Our manner of succession isn't like other kingdoms. [Which is why a twelfth son can be son confident about ascending to the throne.]

[acowardlyoak]

Oh? What is it?

[itsaxingthing]

It's a bit complicated. Let's call it a combination of survival and currying favor with the current Emperor.

[acowardlyoak]

Sounds hard.

[itsaxingthing]

It certainly has its challenges.

[acowardlyoak]

Is it just succession problems?

[itsaxingthing]

Something like that. It's easier to succeed if none of your siblings manage to live long enough to earn the emperor's favor.

[acowardlyoak]

... You really kill each other?

[itsaxingthing]

Some do. Personally, I find it a waste of time. While they're all fighting each other, I managed to retrieve what I'll need to secure my place as the next ruler.

[acowardlyoak]

What would secure the right to succession in a place like that?

[itsaxingthing]

Oh, just the secret of immortality. [Ling. Master of no secrets ever.]

[acowardlyoak]

The what?

[itsaxingthing]

Immortality.

[acowardlyoak]

How did you find that?

[itsaxingthing]

I think I've given away enough secrets for now. I think it's your turn.
