It is! [He answers, excited that Sizhui has already found it himself. Since he's already been there, he takes him past the kitchen and dining rooms first, explaining the food delivery supplies and how they can request things that they want in supply drops. Once he's explained most of the dining situation, they begin making their way towards the training room.]
I'm sure you'll have more questions as you settle in, so don't be afraid to ask, alright? [Without waiting for an answer he continues.] But I mentioned people too. Hmm. [He pauses and then gestures Sizhui to follow him, leading him to an empty hallway where they won't be overheard. The smile on his face fades away, replaced by a grim serious expression.]
Most of the people aboard the Ximilia are good people. Even when we disagree on the way to go about things, the people here are kind and compassionate people. [There's an edge to his voice that perhaps makes what comes next unsurprising.] But that does not apply to everyone.
Use discernment. Don't give your trust blindly. I care for most of the people here Sizhui, but there are some who'll do whatever it takes to reach their own goals, and worse, some who actively harm others for no other reason than to make themselves feel stronger. I'm sure you know the type. [The cultivation world wasn't exactly free of them.]
There's a man here named Felix. [As he utters the name, his expression darkens further, and there's a flickering of the Yiling Patriarch in his eyes that Sizhui might recognize.] Stay away from him. [It's the most decisive thing he's said so far.]
From what I can tell, he doesn't possess any extraordinary ability outside of the protective armor he wears, but he is a cruel man who makes a habit of bullying and harming those who are more vulnerable. [He inhales and exhales deeply, reaching out to clasp Sizhui's shoulder.]
If Lan Zhan raised you, I know you're strong and brilliant and kind. I know you can handle yourself. But please don't associate with this man, Sizhui.
