The ghost was helpful. He was trying to save others much weaker than him, and he saved our asses a few times too. I wish I knew who he was...he never told us his name.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-22 11:19 pm (UTC)[ but! onto the ghost. and oh... the idea makes xie lian's heart warm. ]
What a brave young man. [ ... ] Was he very young, Rin? What was he like?

Date: 2021-10-23 12:42 am (UTC)...it's the same. [ he taps his chin. ]
In the catacombs, we were led by a young woman who we couldn't see very clearly, but.. when I got close to her, I realized that she had gold dust coming off of her arm.
Like one of the Watchers.
w3, very early sunday morning
Date: 2021-10-24 04:50 am (UTC)san lang, ferret formed, is pressed up against the bars, too, as close as possible. ]
... Are you awake, Rin? [ softly. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 04:55 am (UTC)'m up.
[He's been sleeping like shit the last few days so he was only lightly dozing anyway.]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 01:35 pm (UTC)Come to a place you can see. The sun's going to rise, soon.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 02:14 pm (UTC)Rin pushes himself to his feet and walks over to the window on his cell. Then Rinkou whines, so he picks her up so she can see too.]
I guess...this long week is almost over.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 03:02 pm (UTC)...So it is.
[ his heart aches. ] ... The light still rises.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 05:34 pm (UTC)[Rinkou nudges at San Lang a bit, but is careful not to touch Xie Lian. Cuddling is impossible when their people are this close, so this is all the affection San Lang gets.
Rin's gaze is transfixed on the sunrise, and he finds himself babbling a bit.]
The last time I saw a sunrise like this, it was after me and Bon teamed up to defeat a really powerful demon. He kept the barrier up to keep the demon from poisoning the nearby city, I used my fire to burn the demon away to nothing. It- it was the first time either of us had truly worked together as a team, we used to fight so much before then.
That's the first time Bon and I really understood each other.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 05:48 pm (UTC)xie lian doesn't seem to mind the babbling, though. he listens - that is what he is supposed to do, isn't it? he's a god, a prince, and sometimes, he has to learn to sit still instead of run head first into trouble. maybe if he'd listened more, he could have...
...it's not worth pursuing, right now. head tilted back a bit against the bars, he closes his eyes. ]
It sounds as though you had the same goal - protecting that city. No?
Week 3, Sunday
Date: 2021-10-24 10:11 pm (UTC)Why are you up here?
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 10:19 pm (UTC)he’s not actually expecting rin to notice him, so it’s a little surprising - but, a the sound of his voice, he looks down, and offers him a small smile, sheepish. busted. ]
Ah… the view of the sunset from this place is magnificent. That’s all. [ is it? ] Here.
[ and he’ll come over and offer a hand to help pull him up. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 10:46 pm (UTC)Once he's up on the roof though, he'll sit down next to Xie Lian. The view really is magnificent, just like Xie Lian said.]
It's hard to believe it hasn't even been a whole day yet...we watched the sun rise and the sun set today.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 10:58 pm (UTC)a small smile tugs the corner of xie lian’s mouth, and he nods, looking up at the stars slowly blinking on ahead as they settle down. ]
So we did. It is as I said, then - no matter what happens, the light will come. Whether it feels like it should, or not.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 11:14 pm (UTC)[Tomorrow is another day in another city. It's fine, probably.
Rin sits there quietly for a moment, watching as the sky turns purple with the hues of nighttime. Then he shifts his position so he's sitting cross-legged, and then he claps his hands in front of him and bows his head a little and closes his eyes. He's trying to do some kind of a prayer position, but he doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Then he starts talking in a mock-prayer voice.]
O, mysterious God of-
[He pauses, and then he cracks one of his eyes open to peek at Xie Lian.]
Er, what are you the god of again?
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 11:19 pm (UTC)xie lian has absolutely no idea what rin is doing at first. He just kind of watches him, head tilting like a bird, confused —
…and then, as he peeks at him, he laughs. it’s warm and bright, startled out of him, and xie lian can’t help the fond smile on his face. ]
…you can just say the central plains.
[ even if it’s a little silly - how long has it been, since xie lian heard a prayer? ]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-24 11:44 pm (UTC)Right, right.
[He closes his eye again and starts once more with the overly-dramatic prayer voice.]
O, mysterious god of the central plains! Hear my words and answer my prayers!
There is a demonic spirit living within me! I can't get rid of it, because to do so would kill me. But it cannot be left unchecked, because any time I start having impulsive thoughts it takes over and makes me do regrettable things!
[After that dramatic speech, he quiets down to a normal speaking voice and sneakily peeks at Xie Lian again.]
Please, teach me how to tame the darkness in my heart so I can live like a normal person again?
no subject
Date: 2021-10-25 12:33 am (UTC)a heart, that wants to be good.
when rin peeks at him, xie lian is smiling. the expression is so, so warm - he looks just touched, for a moment, the gentle and serene visage of a man who became a god so well known for his kindness. ]
...You may sit up straight. [ he plays along, with the god and devotee thing, for a moment, sounding just a bit more imperious. ] I ask those who pray to me never to prostrate - I don't see any merit in simply bowing before the gods as if they are so much better than humans. I was - and am - a human myself.
[ and then. ]
It would be my honor to help you, Rin. I could think of no prayer more important to answer, than one where I can help to set you free from your struggle - and teach you to keep your heart as still as water and that creature locked safe away. In whatever manners necessary - you have my word, as His Highness the Crown Prince, Martial God of the Central Plains.
[ it feels a little like playing dress up to say it, now, to act that way, but some of that imperious fake aura fades, and he holds out a hand. ]
...But more so, you have my word as Xie Lian, beyond anything else.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-25 02:08 am (UTC)He listens to what Xie Lian tells him all of this, going about saying he would help in a flourished and fancy way, and he finds himself settling into a more genuine and meaningful smile. He was sure Xie Lian would have something to offer him- meditation is what he had thought of at first, even- but to hear it said so earnestly, and as a friend too, it just warms Rin's damaged and shivering heart. He's taken a lot of mental damage today, but the support of a friend helps make it a little bit easier to handle.]
Y'know, I've never been that good at saying 'thanks'. So...thanks. For listening, and for answering me.
I'll work hard, and I'll be a good student. ...as good of a student as I can be.
Week 4, Monday
Date: 2021-10-25 04:27 pm (UTC)Wherever Xie Lian is, Rin is going to squeeze his way in so he can sit in Xie Lian's lap. He does this without saying a word, and he's just going to make himself comfortable unless Xie Lian kicks him out.]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-25 08:11 pm (UTC)hello? xie lian is sitting. he was probably meditating. ]
..... Hello, Rin....?
[ i mean yeah he just lets this happen because of course he does, hands sort of hovering awkwardly to the side. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-25 11:58 pm (UTC)It's comfortable here.
[That is the only explanation Xie Lian gets before Rin points to Rinkou.]
Look at her.
[Rinkou is a wolverine currently, and she is laying on her back. Which is weird because she doesn't really turtle like that in wolverine form.]
no subject
Date: 2021-10-26 12:17 am (UTC)Yeah. It was his hometown, he had to save everyone there. And I couldn't stand by and watch a bunch of innocent people die. So we teamed up, and we beat it.
no subject
Date: 2021-10-26 02:02 am (UTC)[ thats. odd. he glances over at rinkou, brow furrowing, and then to rin. ]
...Is... how are you feeling today, Rin?
