Day 47

[eggshell]

[It's a normal day in the most normal house/compound/kidnapping safe house. Dan Feng is lurking (somewhere near a pile of books. He is throwing longing looks at it), one of the rooms is locked and may have someone banging from the other side (sorry Valencia), and the pond has one (1) sad looking koi fish in it and three (3) turtles of suspicious origin.

Where are you today?

[If you're looking for a reason for ur char to be here you can assume DF brought you (by passive aggressiveness, by tantrum, by chloroform)]]

Re: Day 47

[vitainmorte]

[ said chloroform'd bird is, in fact,

banging on the door of a locked room. it may actually have been a couple of hours since she was brought there, but, well. drugging and all.]

Dan Feng!

Re: Day 47

[eggshell]

[Because of their bond, she'll be able to tell Dan Feng is close. Very close. In fact , is he just lying down in front of her door and ignoring her? What?]

Re: Day 47

[lifeban]

[the masked daniel is reading from that very stack. passive aggressively. trying to ignore lurkers.]

Re: Day 47

[eggshell]

[jiiiiiiiiiii, but from a different angle??]

Re: Day 47

[vitainmorte]

[ well once everything gets settled in and she's convinced to stay. at least for a bit

a warm cup is offered to him over one of the stacks, carefully. ]

Coffee?

Re: Day 47

[imbabytorlunae]

[ There is a smaller dragon looking at the pool. ]

He needs a friend.

Re: Day 47

[skypiercing]

[Dan Feng probably already realizes most of the books are laced with powder to make him Regret trying to eat them at this point....

And Dan Heng is nearby, starting to cook lunch.]

Which would you prefer, chicken or books?

day 47

[manufact]

[ this is your catchall for ogling a sweaty hot grandpa at work.

either he's hammering away at the forge, or hauling beams and stones into place, carefully securing everything exactly where it needs to be with utmost precision. he's focused. entirely in his element. ]

Re: day 47

[eggshell]

[He'd be laying down one of the stones for a path when the peanut gallery sucks a breath through his teeth in very loudly.]

Re: day 47

[lifeban]

[you can't tell he's watching behind a mask. obviously. OBVIOUSLY.]

Re: day 47

[skypiercing]

[And another lizard for the peanut gallery can be caught dropping a beam on his toes with a sharp hiss that is only partially pain.

...He still isn't looking away though.]

Re: day 47

[vitainmorte]

[



yeah. that's good soup. ]

Re: day 47

[lionsleeps]

[Jing Yuan was helpful for awhile, but he's quit now in favour of lounging around and watching other people work. At the moment he's enjoying a bubble tea he got somewhere and leaning against a post, oggling Yingxing without an inch of shame.]

We're going to have to make sure you never run out of projects.

[vitainmorte]

[ whenever someone finally lets her out of her imprisonment she'll be... around. Tucked somewhere out of the way, mostly, and looking particularly awkward-- and out of place, being the only penacony bird among xianzhou lizards (and jing yuan).

that said she did literally get drugged so she is just. recovering from that a bit. but. ]

...

Maybe I should be helping...

[skypiercing]

[Would she like some iced tea. She's getting some iced tea slid over to her.]

Are you still groggy?

[Sorry about. Y'know. That kidnapping thing.]

[imbabytorlunae]

Absolutely not!

[ There is a smaller lizard girl pointing at Val. ]

You're going to stay put until you've recovered.

Day 47

[skypiercing]

[Dan Heng has been keeping busy with repairs and various other necessities. Though on one or two occasions throughout the day there might be a rather suspicious sounding thump and hiss of pain when he misjudges his height against doorways and bangs his horns or forgets his tail is different now. His poor dignity…

And when he isn’t fixing what simpler parts of the house he can handle, he can be found attempting to decipher the instructions for what is essentially a knockoff ikea bookshelf.

He’s pretty sure there’s a part missing. Or the instructions are just that bad.]

Re: Day 47

[lifeban]

...Okay, what's wrong. You've been reading that booklet far longer than makes sense.

Also Day 47

[lionsleeps]

[Jing Yuan was helping with the labour... but he got tired and decided to go flop in the half-finished courtyard instead. He's shirtless, laying on his stomach next to the pond and trailing his fingers in the water to interact with the single sad koi.

The whole family of cats he brought with him are out there, the kittens playing and the mother sleeping in the sun. The all-black kitten is playing with his braid. There are songbirds in the one big tree and along the edges of the eaves, and three of them are perched on Jing Yuan's head and back.

It's warm and comfortable in the sun and he is a happy man who is definitely also stealing glances at the others. Especially the sweaty ones.]

Re: Also Day 47

[vitainmorte]

[ he certainly looks happier than when they met...

She doesn't approach for a while, because. Well. Nervous. But after a while of him laying in the sun she does come over to place a cup of water next to him for whenever he might want it. ]

Re: Also Day 47

[lifeban]

[quietly coming over with a scroll to share the sunbeam.]

Re: Also Day 47

[eggshell]

[A shadow falls over him from behind. The kitten playing with his braid startles, and hides in his hair.]

What do you think? [About what-- he doesn't elaborate.]

Re: Also Day 47

[skypiercing]

[And Dan Heng is checking over the roof, patching any cracks he sees in the tiling that hasn't had to be fully replaced. The house is well on it's way to being weatherproofed, but some of the unused rooms are still drafty and in need of better insulation and roofing.

He steals glances towards Jing Yuan as he works, and while he doesn't make his way down yet he does make a few fond comments to nearby birds.

Which is how Jing Yuan will end up finding flowers being dropped on his head from above, over the next while, by playful songbirds.]

Re: Also Day 47

[imbabytorlunae]

[ It's likely just at the corner of his eye where a flash of purple runs past, gasping with delight. ]

Kitty!

[ Sometimes, she tries to act mature, but who can blame her for losing a little bit of maturity in the face of an adorable, pettable kitten? She is trying to get close enough to pet one of them. ]
