Video - Something borrowed
[The feed starts in the rather nondescript living room of one of the apartments new arrivals get directed to when they first make it here. Home decor hasn't yet been a priority since Moran has arrived, and even if it were, he would leave it entirely to his more savvy housemate.
Addressing a video feed is a bit weird, because he is just talking at a machine, but his face is nothing but pleasantly inquisitive. He knows how to hide discomfort.]
Greetings.
I am looking for someone who could possibly point me in the right direction. I wish to have a fan custom made.
It needs to look like this.
[He grabs a fan on the nearby table and opens it, and though trial and error for a few seconds, manages to angle it so the motif is visible.
The fan is dark green silk, with a delicate drawing of a lotus flower and clouds in white on it. After a few seconds, he turns it around to show that the reverse has exactly the same color, except the décoration there is Chinese characters, also written in white. A few more seconds and he closes it and puts it away.]
I need it to be exactly identical, except for the colors which need to be reversed. I would be very grateful if anyone knows of a maker who could accomplish this.

As you can see, they are a pair. The circumstances in which XunXian's was broken were... unpleasant.
[That's the understatement of the century here.]
A lot of things are shaky right now but this... this will help make things a little more solid.
[For XunXian, and for Moran too. He needs those fans to be a pair. He can't be without XunXian, the green fan can't be without the white one.]
... How exactly does one fly on a weapon?

As for 'things are shaky'...being the sort of person who valued his own privacy he tried to respect it in others. Even if Moran had chosen not to answer at all he wouldn't have pushed. So he was trying not to make assumptions about why things are shaky and how it might be connected to the fact that he knows Su XunXian had been in unrequited love and Moran had admitted to breaking hearts.
He'll focus on the part where remaking the fan will help things.]
A cultivator can pour their spiritual energy into their weapon and make it leave the ground. By stepping onto it, and then using spiritual energy to control it, a cultivator can fly on it. They can also make the weapons grow larger to allow other people to ride along, but there's a limit to that.

[Images of peasants farming the land are called to mind, but somehow, Moran doesn't think this is what Chu Wanning is referring to. Not with talks of weapons and spiritual energy.]
I believe you might be using that word very differently from what I am accustomed to.
