Video ; UN: P'Magnum

[50000baht]

[Here we have the Mafia heir in his most unnatural environment. A little Japanese garden with what looked like broken furniture wood (but really, they are slat beds all taken apart) and in the back ground, a few extra fluffy type mattresses. His shirt has the sleeves rolled up so high they almost look like poofy sleeves on a dress and he has at least one nail sticking out from between his lips as he's... sanding wood. With nice muscle structure sanding said wood.]

Anyone know of any decent hardware stores? And some instruction manuals would be brilliant. Never buying from that asshole who said 'some assembly required.' I swear he's a clerk from IKEA.


[Kin has acquired beds! Low to the ground, but probably better than sleeping on the floor. He hadn't expected to put them together himself. Or sanding them to stain the wood, either.]

(( That’s Vegas’ cue to Be Himself^TM. ))

Oh, that looks fun. I don’t think they know what IKEA is here in the medieval times.

[50000baht]

Keep it up, and I’ll take you jousting.

[glances up briefly]

One of these is yours, you know. You got a color preference? The usual red?

[ex_safesex242]

(( He nods. ))

Yeah, red.

[50000baht]

Red it is, then.

[ He nods a bit, putting one of the boards away and taking another one. ]

Kitchen's full of canned goods.

[ex_safesex242]

Want me to see if I can make something?

[50000baht]

As long as you don't exhaust yourself and bean yourself in the face with a pot cover.

[ex_safesex242]

If you find me dead in the kitchen, make sure no one knows it's because I was trying to feed you all.

[50000baht]

Shit, I'm going to try and make certain Pete doesn't know what happened! I'll definitely be a dead man then!

[ex_safesex242]

I heard he killed the guy who shot me.

(( So proud of his Pete. ))

[unleashedpet]

Um...do you need some help, Kinn?

Re: Video | un: muscleman

[50000baht]

Yes. Paint? Vegas wants red.

[unleashedpet]

I can do that. I'll be right out.

[He's going to put on clothes that are actually good to work in okay.]

Action

[50000baht]

See you soon.

[He's still working, already sweaty but at least two of the three beds are ready for paint. Then it's putting them in house for assembly. ]

[unleashedpet]

[Coming on out, he looks at all the work that has been done.]

I would have been happy to help you out earlier, Kinn...

[50000baht]

Hey, Pete.

[There's a small, wan smile. ]

It's fine. I needed the busy work, as annoying as it is.

[ But beds! It was exciting. ]

[unleashedpet]

[Sitting down, he looks at all the piles...]

I think we should sort which pieces go to what beds first so that way we don't actually color something wrong.

[50000baht]

You're right.

[Putting the sanding block down, he finally stands to stretch and sort of pat the saw dust off him. ]

They're all a full-size? That's the biggest they had.

[ So two people could fit decently. It's the least he could do when he and his companions were creating chaos in Wen Qing's house. ]

Action

[drqingmedwoman]

[Qing waits for a bit, but then carries out a tray with some sweetened fruit water (something Gaura taught her but she's not sure what it's called, it has lemons in it) and a bowl of shelled peanuts. Setting it on the edge of the porch like a shelf, she comes close to take a look at what Kinn is doing.]

Do you need any help?

[50000baht]

[So he hadn't expected any refreshment while he worked, but he's very pleased that it arrives. With a friendly nod in greeting and a smile, he answers. ]

Thank you, Khun Wen, but it's not necessary. These are for you in thanks for helping us and it wouldn't be right if you worked on the beds I'm trying to get together.

[drqingmedwoman]

[She looks at him surprised.]

They're a gift for me?

[She bows to him.]

Thank you, Khun Kinn. I was actually wondering what else would make you and your family more comfortable here. I have some money..

[She glances back at the house and frowns.]

I've never really owned a place like this before. The government here just gave it to me last month and it's been just me staying here. I'm used to not having much.

[50000baht]

[ Sitting back on his heels, he looks back at her. ]

Isn't that man of yours good for anything? Looks like he could swing a hammer or something.

[drqingmedwoman]

[Normally she might take offense of anyone saying something like that about 'her man' but (teehee) Jiang Cheng really is her man now! That thought along changes any negative to a basket of kittens and rainbows! The evidence is clear on her face as she breaks into a bright, but shy smile.

She looks down modestly, but it's far too late to hide it.]

A-Cheng is more knowledgeable about this. He rebuilt his whole sect when it was burned down in a war.

[She gestures toward the porch. She looks at it like it was made of diamonds.]

He hung the swing for me.

[50000baht]

[... Oh, she has it bad for that man. He can see why. Wanyin was good looking and seemed as loyal as anyone could be. ]

His sect? You mean home?

[Sometimes deciphering what these ancient people said was confusing.]

Wanyin ever hurts you, I'll shoot him on your behalf.

[drqingmedwoman]

[At his question, she draws her attention away from Cheng and tries to focus. This has never been a problem before but right now it's a little difficult.

She nods.]

A sect is our clan's homeland. It's a region of buildings and people who the sect leader rules over and protects. The robes he wears are a symbol of which sect he is from.

[The promise surprises her and for a moment she doesn't know what to say to that. She might've expected it from Wuxian, but to hear something so protective from an outsider.. it was flattering.]

He won't, but thank you.

[She smirks.]

He knows what I'm capable of.

[50000baht]

[Never piss off the doctor. ]

Like a family. We...kind of operate in the same way.

[ They had a kingdom, at one time, and Kinn was in the process of taking it over from his father. Only there was more war and corruption involved, he thought. ]
