[Yuchi Longyan is in the middle of a crowd. He looks around him, amused, taking in random conversations.

Really, it's fun. You should try it.]

I did not know so many personalities could exist. Humans are truly like bright sparks.

[He steps out into the throng and takes his time, smiling sedately.]

What do you do for fun?

[ Lucky dragon. ]

Ah. Good. I am glad he was able to provide that for you.

[ Cave falling is not a good thing! ]

Are you often injured?

[Action]

[longyan]

[So far anyway.]

Others helped too. A man named Henry took me in as well.

[No, it was a pain freeing himself from all of those rocks. Er boulders.]

I seek a title from Heaven. There are trials I must complete.

[fated_dance]

[ Anything can change. ]

Then you are in possession of good friends here.

[ His eyes narrow a little at the news and has to focus on the music for a moment - a nice distraction, really. ]

If you are worried over being brought here disrupting that, be at ease. No time passes between when you come here, and when you return. Or so I have learned from others who have come and gone.

[longyan]

[And it usually does.]

Fortunately. I didn't expect to be welcomed.

[But his weakest form is ridiculously cute. Longyan opens one eye to peek at Zishu, smirking faintly to himself.]

No matter the obstacle set before me, I will achieve my goal. I look at being here as a respite. But I can't let myself become soft.

[Action]

[fated_dance]

[ Of course it does. ]

None of us do.

[ It hasn't kept most people from asking after those they love, himself included.

He raises a brow at that peek and smirk, then allows himself a slight smirk as well. ]

Good. I hope it will prove so.

So...Zishu...

Are you truly a nine-tailed fox or are your tails a product of mischievous magic?

[He coaxes a caterpillar onto his finger and grins at the small creature.]

[Action]

[fated_dance]

[ And there's that expected question. ]

I'm a mortal man. My tails and the form that I can take that goes with it are a product of the bonds I have formed here.

[Action]

[longyan]

[That interests Longyan. Very much.]

Are you frightened of the legendary beasts in your manor?

[Action]

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu grins a little and shakes his head, gaze dropping. ]

I have been here over a year. One could say I have grown used to them and welcomed them with open arms to live with me.

[Action]

[longyan]

That makes you a strange mortal. [But Zishu probably already knows that.] I would be considered a demon and hunted for daring to enter the mortal realm.

[Action]

[fated_dance]

[ He laughs outright at that, having to pause and still the strings. ]

Thank you.

[ But the laughter is short-lived and he frowns, having a guess what might have happened to this dragon. ]

I have been called a demon because of my actions. As far as I'm concerned, anyone is welcome, regardless of what they are. All I require is safety for my people.

[Action]

[longyan]

[He isn't sure he meant it as a compliment, but then again, it does work out well for him, doesn't it?]

And I will protect mine. [With a dragon's fury.] I'm glad my new friends are safe in your hands. I didn't know what to expect.
