But.

The day after the seizure, LaNi spends most of the time next to XinLan, in his bed, monitoring his health. As he expected, his son feels very bad for most of the day, due to the effects of the crisis he had.
LaNi makes sure to find the time to carry on the tests on the child's blood to isolate the cause of the seizure. And he manages to find out exactly what it was.

In addition to that, LaNi performs other tests that make him realise that, most likely due to his elements, XinLan's health needs to be monitored closely and constantly, and that to preserve, it will require a few measures too.
As a first thing, he is preparing an accurate diet to ensure that his body won't get to lack in terms of energies and nourishments.
The other important thing to do is to help XinLan spend a sufficient amount of energies during the day, to avoid that they will go 'bad' and turn into something that negatively impacts the child's health, both mental and physical.

"XinLan needs to train every day", LaNi says to himself, determined to do all that is needed to keep his son healthy.
The day after the recovery, after monitoring XinLan having a rich breakfast, he takes him out with him to the House of Tiger. Since his son likes that kind of environment, what a better place than the rainforest to train him?
XinLan acts hesitant and stressed, but LaNi manages to convince him to play, putting the whole training in game terms.
Catch game for warming up, climbing on trees, hide and seek, explore around while searching for heavy things to move.

They come back after 5 hours. "Shall we make a challenge who teaches the Grand Temple first?" he asks to XinLan, walking out of the House of Tiger with his arm wrapped around him.

Dobermann He remains silent and lost in his thoughts for some time, not reacting to what XinLan does. How can I make it heavy for him, I can't let him see this - he thinks and slowly stands up. "Dui bu qi, cute pie..."
He lights a magic fire on his palm and moves it towards his other hand till it touches his skin. That part of skin adapts to avoid to hurt, becoming metal. "What do you think? It is cool?
Do we have mice here?" He takes a quick look around. "I don't think they are a problem. Probably dogs keep them away." At least the non lazy dogs.

Hoon He actually keeps panicking even after, breathing heavily like the other day, but just for a few moments, at intervals. He regrets so much saying that, now. "I wi... will make a new house, one bigger and with a bigger poo... pool with a lot of water inside...!"
He looks at what he does, with wide eyes. "Woh... it's the coolest thing... I can touch the fire too..." But because it's one of his elements, nothing more.
"I have never seen mice. But they are small and they hide in holes inside the walls. They make their homes in there."

Dobermann He looks at XinLan, noticing. He aims to hurry to calm him down. "I said nonsense, don't think about it. Build the little house only if you feel like it, don't feel forced please...
You can. You are cooler than me after all." His skin basically adapts, thanks to all the elements in space and the crazily different environments.
"Shi, but honestly there shouldn't be here. I didn't see insects either except bees in the garden but they don't get inside."

Hoon His breathing stabilises fast, but he is not convinced at all by what he says. "I... I... will be good..." He definitely regrets opening up on that matter, although it had been bothering him for a while.
"Aniyo... appa is the coolest. That's why you are the emperor." He is still convinced.
"Oh, I see. Maybe it's also because Snek ate them all. He said he eats mice the most, his favourite dish."

Dobermann "You are already good, enough of this...you are the best child I could ever dream for, I mean it." He takes a deep breath, looking away for a few moments. He continues to be troubled, he can't help his worry.
"I'm the Emperor? I'm flattered but it is not exactly my title, honey. That'd be Guardian of the Temple, or Brillance Overgrowth Lord, like Sects people like to call me.
Shi...snakes tend to do it..." He can't say he finds snakes appealing as pets. "Where is your friend now?"
