;slkjgl;sdkfjg I remember saving this link so I'd come back to it when I had time to read it and I never did, how did I never come back to it THANK YOU for reminding me♥ XD
I've always wondered about it, too, because there's a lot of conflict about hair turning white from stress, but I never heard about the baldness thing. That's really interesting!
I love all of this pretty much, but the thing that leapt out at me the most is Baralai's words so clear at his age. I don't know why, it's such a small detail, and yet.
I love this passage: She finds him in the same place every time: on a balcony overlooking the training ground where the warrior monks sparred, his eyes shining with excitement. A single sharp word from her pulls him away from the wall with no argument; he never complains, or looks over his shoulder. So, so Baralai. I've tried so many times to write young!Baralai but I always chicken out. I think you've done it beautifully.
