Hi.

[Here is Kinn, waving a little haphazardly.]


So, I'm out of commission for a few weeks.


[With a wan smile, he lifts up his splinted arm.]


I guess I got off lucky. So what do I do to entertain myself while I'm laid up?


[and have a smarmy smirk with a wink]


I'm left handed, after all.

You could probably make the pieces for checkers. They're not that complicated.

[outspokenlan]

That's a frugal suggestion and I appreciate it. Right now with everything that has happened with my family lately though, the cost of the items is preferable to the time spent making them.

I'm a student at the university and we own a local farm. If you need an excuse to get out for a while even with your arm in a sling, I could host for you.

[50000baht]

Host me? At a farm?

[ This is utterly amusing. ]

Going to put a hoe in my hand and have me work for potatoes?

[outspokenlan]

I was thinking more like serve you tea and let you play with our rabbits but if you'd like we do have some potatoes in the garden!

[He snickers.]

If you hurt your arm, you should really have Lady Wen take a look at it.

[50000baht]

[ A small smirk]

Yes. The good doctor is handling it well. Had to have a bone setter work on it before we managed to get home, first.

[And that hurt like a bitch. ]

[outspokenlan]

[He makes a face. Yeah, that didn't sound like fun!

Suddenly, he tilts his head to the side and looks at Kinn's face on the screen a little more carefully.]

Are you part of the family staying with her? With Vegas?

[50000baht]

Yes I am. You know Vegas?

[outspokenlan]

[He nods.]

I just met him, actually. He told me your family was the one my uncle has been helping with. My shushu is Jiang Cheng.

[50000baht]

Jiang Che--Ah. Wanyin, right? Yes, I did meet him. He has the impression of authority around him.

[outspokenlan]

[Jingyi nods quickly, admiration sparkling in his eyes.]

Yeah his people admire him greatly back home. I know he has a lot of friends here too.

[Even if he forgets how important and loved he is.]

Is there anything I can get for you while you're recovering?

[50000baht]

Thank you. I have an army of people already rushing to my rescue right now. I don't want to waste your time.

So tell me about this uncle of yours. "His" people? He runs something there?

[outspokenlan]

He's the sect leader of the Yunmeng Jiang clan, which is one of the four major clans. There's also the Gusu Lan clan, which I'm apart of, the Lanling Jin clan, and the Qinghe Nie clan. The Qishan Wen clan used to be among those, but they're basically all dead now.

After the war, his sect was nearly wiped out but he rebuilt it into the strong, respected clan it is tod- er, well, 'today'. What it was when I am from?

That's who you are to your people, aren't you? Your clan's leader?

[50000baht]

I guess you could say that. I'm the face of the Theerapanyakul family. My father doesn't do the outings and what not but still makes major decisions. He leaves most of it to me, though. Here in this place? Yeah, I watch over my men.

[outspokenlan]

Oh, I see.

[So heir to be sect leader, but not yet. He understands!]

Have you named your manor or are you waiting until the house is completed?

[50000baht]

Hotel California.

[He looks pleased by the name. ]

There's a song in another country on my world about a place where people find haphazardly. There's partying, wine, song, but when one particular person wants to leave, he finds out he's trapped. He can't leave.

I think the name is appropriate for here.

[outspokenlan]

[He snickers.]

It is! As long as you don’t think someone might worry they can’t leave your hotel either!

Do you need any help with your hotel?

[50000baht]

I like to think the people around my time might enjoy the irony of the name.

[Because they can't leave Nippon. That much was certain. ]

Possibly. We have the main rooms for us done, but there's still a lot of work to do with the upper floor and the courtyard and then this warehouse side piece that came with the building.

[outspokenlan]

I’m sorry Khun Kinn. I was trying to make a joke, but I do like the name. It’s quite clever.

It would also be a beacon to those from your world and time if they understand the reference. I’m sure they’d appreciate it.

I could help some if you’d like. I’m taking a break from my classes.

[50000baht]

It's fine. I'm not offended.

Classes? What are you studying?

[outspokenlan]

[He nods, his puppy ears sagging.]

Yeah, I was um.. I was taking classes at the university with my love. We were studying the magic here, technology, and this world’s history.

It’s been really fun! I’m used to studying at home as a junior in my clan.

[50000baht]

[ He truly looks sympathetic. ]

I'm sorry for your loss.

I can see what needs to happen around here. I know I wanted an onsen in the warehouse building.

[outspokenlan]

[He takes a breath and pushes those thoughts aside.]

Thank you.

[A project helps!]

An onsen in a warehouse? Aren’t those usually outside?

[50000baht]

Yes, but where I am, it's difficult to have a hot spring. And I rather prefer the more private nature of walls around a bath house.

[ Hell, he could have Riley paint 'outside' on the walls. ]

[outspokenlan]

[He smiles and nods agreeably.]

That sounds way more modest. I can’t believe how people are at the other onsen in the city! People are shameless around here.

[50000baht]

Oh?

[Does he detect an opportunity to tease?]

How are they at the other onsen?
