The Meek Shall Inherit

Bajie smiled warmly at Meg's words, even though he had two black thumbs, he could appreciate the fact that Megara found solace in a garden.

I couldn't agree more, Bajie replied, his voice carrying a hint of nostalgia. There's something grounding about being close to the earth, isn't there? Reminds us of what's real and important.

As Meg spoke of the upcoming tasks and the potential of their joint efforts, Bajie nodded thoughtfully, his expression turning more serious as he considered the responsibilities ahead. I'm eager to contribute wherever I can, wherever you think best, he assured her. Count me in for the meeting.

At the mention of his protege, Bajie's face softened with pride. She's resilient, that's for sure, he said with a hint of admiration. I'll see if she's up to it. And thank you, Meg. Your kindness means a lot. We've both been through a lot, but knowing you're here to support us... it's reassuring.
