==Dialogue==
;(First interaction)
:Zhouduan: No loitering in The Shackling Prison! ...Ah, it's you, (Trailblazer). My apologies, that was impolite of me. If I may ask, what brings you here to The Shackling Prison once more?
: You know me?
::Zhouduan: Haha, how could I not? When Hoolay escaped from his cell, were it not for your help, I might not be standing here today — or anywhere else, for that matter.
: No particular reason...
::Zhouduan: While it's not my place to comment... The Shackling Prison is, after all, not a place for the living. Even though you are an esteemed guest of the Luofu and are free to go wherever you wish, it may be advisable to avoid this place unless you have business here.
:Zhouduan: The Shackling Prison has just taken a severe hit unlike anything else that's ever occurred in the past thousand years, and there is a surfeit of outstanding matters that I must tend to. If there's nothing else, please excuse me.

;(Subsequent interactions)
:Zhouduan: Good day, (Trailblazer). I trust you've been well? What brings you here again to The Shackling Prison? Official business?
: I have a few questions...
::Zhouduan: Please, ask away.
:: How's The Shackling Prison faring?
:::Zhouduan: *sigh* When the riot happened, the borisin set a good number of prisoners free and used them as decoys. Even though the riot has since been suppressed, there are still fugitives on the loose on prison grounds.
:::Zhouduan: Thankfully, the various commissions took swift action to seal the portals connecting this prison to the outside world before anything worse could happen. This prevented the Avici Gaol, where evildoers are confined, and the Kalasutra Gaol located deeper within the prison from being thrown into chaos.
:::Zhouduan: With them trapped within the premises, all that is left to do now is to secure them one by one... Ugh, I hope nothing else goes awry.
:: Is your job dangerous?
:::Zhouduan: This is embarrassing to admit, but you could say that The Shackling Prison was the safest place in the Luofu all this time... Not only is my job in no way dangerous usually, but I even find the work somewhat dull and lifeless.
:::Zhouduan: And lo and behold, things got real "lively" this time around... If you and the other heroes hadn't been around, who knows what would have happened in the end?
:: Why are you working for the Ten-Lords Commission?
:::Zhouduan: I don't really work for them... I'm actually a Cloud Knight on secondment to The Shackling Prison, so I'm reporting to the Ten-Lords Commission until further notice. As you're probably aware, assisting the Ten-Lords Commission is very much also part of the Cloud Knights' duties.
:::Zhouduan: For the most part, however, it's the professionals who do what they do best that keep the Shackling Prison running. For instance, you know how this place has scores of monsters and fiends locked up? I'm afraid of even looking at them, let alone fighting them...
:::Zhouduan: When I encounter such beings, I usually let the judges or spiritfarers handle them. After all, they are the true specialists... Us Cloud Knights simply provide aid wherever we can.
:: I got to go. Talk to you later.
:::Zhouduan: Alright, take care.
: I got to go. Talk to you later.
