[fated_dance]

Then perhaps I should join you more often for a good cup of tea.

To help use up some.

[dragonrising]

I will always welcome your company. For tea or otherwise.

[fated_dance]

As you are always welcome to find me.

[dragonrising]

Oh? Even now?

[fated_dance]

If you weren't busy with your brother, especially now.

[dragonrising]

I'll come find you after I get him settled. Be ready to be surprised by a ghost behind you later.

[fated_dance]

I thought you knew. I don't mind ghosts. Especially those in my Manor.

[dragonrising]

Did I say it would be a bothersome one?

[fated_dance]

I like to be bothered by my friends and family.

[dragonrising]

I'll make sure I bother you thoroughly later then.

[fated_dance]

I'll be ready.

[dragonrising]

See you then, Zishu.

[fated_dance]

Yes. Soon, Runyu.

[dragonrising]

[It's several hours later, after he's absolutely sure his brother will be settled, before he slips away to find his friend. Once he spies him from a distance, he lets his body go invisible as he moves closer to him. Moving behind him, he blows softly into his ear but stays invisible.

He did say he would be a ghost. At least for the moment.]

[fated_dance]

[ If Zishu hadn't been anticipating an invisible visit, he'd probably be getting his hands dirty in the garden. As it is, Runyu will still find him in the garden, just looking out over the trees in bloom.

The breath into his ear makes him shiver before a little grin steals across his face as he looks around him. ]

It seems a ghost has decided to come say hello.

[dragonrising]

[Moving behind him again, he blows in his ear once more but then reveals himself. It's more fun to be able to talk to him honestly.]

One has. Hello, Zishu.

[fated_dance]

[ He laughs, this time shaking his head. He turns when his friend speaks, smile softening when the dragon shows himself. ]

I am glad to see you so happy.

[dragonrising]

A lot has happened since I arrived here. I've found that I can find happiness in this place when I thought it impossible.

[fated_dance]

Aah. For me as well. And many others, even with the tricks this place plays on us.

[dragonrising]

I've certainly experienced some of the tricks with the way these dragon features increase with my bonds. But I've learned to embrace them.

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu nods, his own fox tails and ears just as evident. He reaches up to tuck some of Runyu's hair back over a shoulder, then up to cup the other's handsome face. ]

I am glad you have been able to embrace them.

[dragonrising]

Do you like them?

[He can't help but be curious as he tilts his head to rest it in that hand.]

[fated_dance]

[ He smiles, one ear flicking back to catch a sound on the breeze before swiveling back to Runyu. ]

I do. They're beautiful.

[dragonrising]

[His tail sways behind him at the compliment and he lowers his head a little to politely accept the compliment.]

I enjoy yours as well.
