[He's taken a few days before coming to this network, mainly observing and getting a feel for it. But now, he wants to try it. So here Runyu is, sitting in his room before a low table with some tea before him. Compared to a few days ago, he doesn't look nearly as regal, his white robes simple despite their numerous layers.

He offers the view a smile, nodding his head politely.]

Greetings. My name is Runyu.

I wanted to start off by saying that I'm grateful to all those who took care of me when I arrived here. With such friendly faces it was rather easy to settle in. Thank you to those I have met so far.

[He might be confused as to how he's being kept here but he appreciates everyone regardless.]

Though, I have noticed that one can find themselves alone a good deal if they lack those from home here. I'm curious to know how people handle this here. What have you done to occupy yourselves? Not everyone is so used to the feeling of isolation so I wouldn't mind learning what you have come up with. It could be interesting.

No. He was a different kind of monster.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Better that than having you do his dirty work.

[dragonrising]

He didn't need me to. His wife did so gladly.

[reliesondirtytricks]

There was never a motherly figure in my life.

[dragonrising]

Not all mothers are as they seem. Not all require one either.

[reliesondirtytricks]

No. Not all of us require one. Some of us are better without.

[dragonrising]

Of course. I can say that for certain after seeing the woman who claimed to raise me.

[reliesondirtytricks]

At least she isn't here. Though, if she was you now have friends who would keep an eye out for you.

[dragonrising]

If she were here then she would have to be before her death. I would not mind guiding her toward that fate again.

[reliesondirtytricks]

From what I've gathered even the recently dead can show. It would just mean making sure they don't. She would not need to be here or deserve to be anymore than Lord Demon did.

[dragonrising]

Her nor either of our fathers.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Then it's settled. We'll keep an eye out and if anyone demands us, warn the other.

[dragonrising]

I will do this for you. I swear it.

[reliesondirtytricks]

As I will do this for you.

[dragonrising]

[He lifts his hands to offer salute to this man.]

Thank you. I cannot express my appreciation for this enough.

[reliesondirtytricks]

[ He brings an arm up in front of himself and offers a slight bow before rising. ]

You're welcome. Lets hope that the day does not come for either of us.

[dragonrising]

I agree. As much as I appreciate having one to watch for such people, I would prefer we never have to at all.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Then let us have hope. That way instead, friendships can be enjoyed instead of worries.

[dragonrising]

An unexpected friendship but one I will value. Thank you, my friend. I look forward to knowing you better.

[reliesondirtytricks]

You're welcome. And, I look forward to knowing you better, as well, Runyu.

[dragonrising]

Where do you spend your time? Perhaps I can investigate those places and run into you sometime.

[reliesondirtytricks]

You mean when I am not up in trees?

[ As he still is even now. ]

Most of the time if I am not home then you will find me in the park, up in the tree, and playing my xiao. Now that I can again.

[ He twirls the xiao slightly before shaking his head. ]

I have yet to explore everything here. Though, we could make a day of it and see what this place holds.

[dragonrising]

Ah so I what I have to do is listen for music from a xiao and I will be sure to find you.

That rather takes the challenge out of it but I have no complaints.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Ah, but I am not the only one here who plays the xiao. How would you know which you would find?

[ Though, he's sure the others do not lay out in trees. ]

[dragonrising]

Oh? Do all of them spend most of their days in trees too?
