This venerable one is the Moon Supreme of the Moon Tribe, the most powerful being in the Three Realms, and Captain of the Corsair ship the Phantom Moon | 月幻影.
NOTE
Do not bother this venerable one with idle chatter.
[ Although she doesn't see his expression, his tone is weaker than she'd ever heard it before.
She struggles with a decision. Should she leave? If she leaves, then perhaps she can get someone else, someone whose presence he might tolerate more to help him, if she's too much of a nuisance to him.
But if she leaves, it would be repeating the same mistakes from before. If she leaves, he will be yet another friend who so dearly needs help turning away. (What can one do, when pleas do nothing but fall on deaf ears? It feels too familiar.) Yet if she leaves, he will be alone in his struggle, possibly as he's always been. He'll shut down his struggle, probably as he's always handled. He won't learn that others can be there for him, too, to share in that very same struggle, to help him through it, and to not judge him for it.
She knows he can leave at any time, if he truly, desperately wishes to be alone. So she gambles, making the courage and effort to take a few steps forward instead. ]
[He forgot himself for a moment and lifted his right hand to snap his fingers with the intent of teleporting her from his presence. But she did not move. His power flaring but unable to work as desired. The seal on his abilities preventing him from doing something as simple as sending another person away.
Daqiang's breath heaved as he fought to keep his emotions at bay in the face of this reminder. Everything in this world seemed bent on tearing him down.
Another breath and then -
He disappeared in the usual thick black smoke and sparks. Leaving Rem alone in his office. Near the window, having been hidden by his body for the entirety of the conversation, the orchid from his home on Nogard sat: happily facing the big picture windows that would let the sun in every morning.]

Please... I'm here for you.
