[Gaura is honestly rather used to getting lost. He's been fired from enough jobs for being late to work because of it, after all. So now he feels like maybe that happened here? Yes, he's had everything explained to him but that certainly hasn't stopped the confusion.
But after going in circles for several hours he's finally discovered this feature and he's giving it a go.]
Hi there. [He gives a smile. A look he's figured out is usually the thing to get someone to help.]
Could someone help me out? I seem to have lost my way to my apartment and nothing is really looking that familiar. Is Koreatown familiar to anyone at least?

[Says the man who looks like he is from a Chinese historical fantasy drama.]
Can you show me your surroundings?
no subject
[But that's okay. He's used to having to start over again. He's had to do it so many times in the past few years...]
Oh! Sure!
[Turning the camera around, he does a slow turn so he can show where he is to the person on the other end.]
Does that help?
no subject
[That's the first step! Xingchen picks up on the surroundings he is shown and nods.]
I will be with you shortly. Stay there.
[Then he must decide whether to travel as a rabbit, a swan or on his sword. He eventually decides on using his Shuanghua, cutting travel time in half.
That pink hair is noticeable!]
I'm afraid I didn't ask for your name...?
no subject
[But it's true so he's accepting it. Looking around, he finds a spot to sit so that way he won't be tempted to wander away.]
I'm Gaura. It's nice to meet you.
no subject
[Xingchen approaches him and gives him a formal bow, his arms linked in a half-circle before him.]
And I am Xiao Xingchen. Welcome, Gaura. Let's find you a place to stay, hm?
no subject
Thank you. I'm grateful. I'll find a way to repay you later. I promise.
no subject
There are apartments meant for us this way. They have maps of the city, too.
no subject
[He's done a lot of research on his condition since running away from home. So he knows that it's part of having it. But it doesn't really make things easier.]
Back home I've been fired from a lot of jobs for being late to work because I kept getting lost.
no subject
If you find yourself lost, feel free to call for me. I will always be happy to guide you. I know the city pretty well now.
no subject
I don't want to inconvenience you. You're already doing me such a huge favor.
no subject
[He softens and adds:]
Besides I like making new friends.
no subject
I've never really had friends before. It would be nice to have one. Thank you, Xingchen.
no subject
I hope you consider me worthy. [He keeps close to Gaura's side until they reach the right building. Then he opens the doors for them.] I think an apartment close to the bottom floor would be best.
no subject
Yes please. I usually try to do that whenever I've had to move.
no subject
Write your room number on this and keep it with you. Then, even if you are lost, someone can direct you easily enough.
[He leads the way to the stairs, preferring them to the elevator. After all, he only intends on going to the first floor.]
no subject
Thank you. I'll keep it with me.
[He hopes to not get lost but he does know himself well.]
no subject
When I first came here, I didn't recognize any of the ah...technology? You seem to be more modern than I am.
no subject
[Gaura shrugs because what can you do? It's just what you have to learn to deal with really.]
I've lived in places where I didn't have access to any of that either. So I'm kind of used to whatever I end up living with.
no subject
Look for yourself. If you like it, I'll gather the key for you.
no subject
[That's very different from apartment hunting that he's familiar with. Still, he goes in to look around. It's the very basics, nothing fancy. But he doesn't really need more than that. He'd been living in worse until recently anyway.]
These places are nice.
no subject
[Xingchen watches Gaura protectively.]
I can bring you food later, if you like? I tend to make too much.
no subject
I don't want to impose you've already done so much for me. I can always get food when I find a market tomorrow.
[He should figure out where the market is actually. But for right now he feels bad that he has nothing to offer this person who has done so much to help him.]
no subject
[He keeps it basic for the most part - good, warm, home-cooked food.]
Are you allergic to anything?
no subject
[Looking down at the floor, he hesitates a moment. He's feeling emotional right now. Xingchen is being so nice to him and he's done nothing to deserve it. Doesn't even have a way to repay him. Drawing in a slow breath, he speaks quietly.]
I'll find a way to pay you back. For showing me a home, for being willing to help me when I'm lost, for giving me food my first night...
no subject
I am merely returning what I was given. We take care of each other, Gaura, since we come from very different circumstances. I just want you to be safe, warm and fed on your first night.
