[ Kai'un is also getting a bowl of congee. Though instead of actually knocking on the door he is (attempting) to leave it on the floor (in a pot covered by a cloth he's not an animal) in front of their door. ]


[ any Kai'uns are welcome to catch him in the act. surely their luck will hold out. ]

[opening the door. she’s dressed to go running and she has a brush to clean up the chalk array drawn on the door]

Um. Can I help you?

[demonvinegar]

[ freezes mid-crouch like a deer in headlights for just a moment. ah. ]

... I was simply leaving something here. Apologies if I'm in your way.

[bowtiedbones]

You’re okay. Do… you want me to take it inside?

[he didn’t knock, so… maybe he’s shy…?]

[pissandvinegar]

[ at some point after he's already been let inside and also after he's also talked to anyone else who wants to talk to him,

he is spotted ]

Get out.

[demonvinegar]

Shizun... I was invited inside.

[ are you sure you want to cause a scene here? ]

[pissandvinegar]

And I'm rescinding it. Out.

[pissandvinegar]

[ sitting (on the floor) at the communal coffee table and using a brush and ink he found in the art room to paint a few talismans ]

[bowtiedbones]

Are those talismans?

[pissandvinegar]

Yes.

[ sets down his brush and takes a dry one off the pile, then gestures for her to come closer, inclining his head and curling his fingers. a more relaxed-feeling movement than he usually gives off ]

Eowyn-xiaojie, take this one.

[ they didn't exchange aliases but he did read the yearbook now. ]

[bowtiedbones]

[sits down across from him and takes it]

What’s it do?

[parttimesoldier]

[Sprawled out on the nearby couch, head cushioned on top of her interlaced fingers as she stares up at the ceiling. At least until she's turning to get a better glimpse of what the new guy's up to.]

Whatcha up to?

[pissandvinegar]

[ inclines his head ]

Drawing talismans. Good morning, Hanabi-guniang.

[parttimesoldier]

Mornin'.

[Pushes herself up to sit a little more properly with legs crossed on the couch. She leans forward a bit to eye those talismans.]

Hard at work already, huh? What do they do?

[inexorableiron]

[Walking by FAKE DAD with his REAL CONGEE and

Huh

Wait]

Fulu, dude?

[pissandvinegar]

What?

[inexorableiron]

Are. You. Fuckin'. Crafting. Fulu.

[aono]

[He's walking through with a bowl of cereal, but stops when he sees the talismans.]

Oh hey, my dad used to make those too!

[pissandvinegar]

[ raises eyebrows ]

Was your father a cultivator?

[aono]

[Me squinting and trying to remember if that's the term they use in China in Aoi's world.]

Maybe that's the term in your world? I know exorcists are called different things in different cultures in my world too. But I knew him as an exorcist.

[bowtiedbones]

[sitting on the couch with her knitting. she just finished a second scrunchie! PIGTAILS UNLOCKED!]

What should I make next…?

[inexorableiron]

That's some fuckin' yarn-based wizardry...

[bowtiedbones]

And this is just the beginning!

[aono]

[Knitting...]

Make me some hot plate cozies and I'll cook us a fancy meal.

[bowtiedbones]

Deal!
