Encounter.


(...)

After vising Shiinden with WuXin, he is taken back to Yung manor, where he left the steed.
He mounts and flies away to head straight back home, but after some time, when by now he crossed the Fengshii borders, he reaches a zone where mist is especially thick. So much that it's impossible to see even at a brief distance and it occurs that a lost raven smashes on his face, forcing him to an emergency landing.

Thankfully he reaches the ground relatively unspoiled, but due to the rough landing, he hurts his ankle.
He gets off the steed and wipes the blood from his face, realising it's quite a mess and he could use some water to clean and refresh his face before being able to get back on the flight again.
He happens to be by a village, a place he has definitely never seen before.
He walks through the main road, looking around, with shivers and a very bad feeling within. "Is there anyone?" he asks, but in a rather low and hesitant tone. There doesn't seem to be a single soul, but he notices that from the biggest house, ahead, there is smoke coming from the chimney and there even seem to be some lights on.

He limps towards the palace, but it's clearly not in a better shape than the rest of the village. It seems old and abandoned, regardless the signs of life. When he is inside the garden, crossed the gate, all the things HyunPil told him come back to his mind, including the pictures he showed of the place and the manor. It makes his blood freeze. Although it's TiHao's family home, it's not a place he has ever wished to visit. But who the hell is inside that house?
Before he could even decide what to do, he notices someone at the window of the first floor, like a shadow, moving fast away from it.

Having little doubts of where the 'entity', whatever it was, is heading, WonPil starts to run, ignoring the pain from his ankle.
He can hear and feel that he is being chased, but the adrenaline rush and the fact he can command the steed with mind, help him to get on the motorbike and fly the hell out of there at crazy speed.

When back to TiHao's home, he rushes inside, locking the door many times and panting like there is no tomorrow.

Memory
Memory "ShiXing looks even taller than him... and he could come to murder us in the sleep, don't you think?" He bites his lip. They need a few guard werewolves. XD
"I always tell you, this place isn't bad. It's good for us. It's comfortable and warm!" With enough fires on and a good amount of heavy clothes, sure, but warm. XD
As if LaNi consider boiled eggs a tasty food even if he put them in every salad. He wants fried!!!
"I don't want to underestimate him, I don't want to ever fight with him..." He doesn't want to fight with anyone, but could end up doing so. Especially if they start to insult him, just to please TiHao.
"One month? Only?" If they pay big money they could get it done even in less time, with more people working day and night. XD
"I don't feel the need to a room, I'm fine this way." At most he could decide to get back to photography or to try to draw again, but that he could do even in the kitchen really.
"I can't lie! Don't you remember? It can only be the truth."
He smiles. "Yay!"

Yokai "He could even be shorter than us and he would still go through any wall without issues. If he wanted to kill me in the sleep, I think he would have tried already.
It is me not to be satisfied enough? It is that I want you to live in a really beautiful house..." His complexes.
He doubts LaNi would mind roasted ribs like those even if not fried. XD
"Why should you? He is our friend. I would never want you and LaNi to fight." Also because he doubts WonPil would be able to do anything.
"Ne, it is a lot of work but with the help of magic it doesn't take long. Plus, I'm sure they'd offer me to pay less because they know who I am.
Arasseo." He'll prepare some empty space for him just to be sure he doesn't change his mind.
"Right...you can't lie." Now he is shocked. He rubs his forehead at the thought. "When did it happen?"

Memory
Memory "Maybe he just didn't think about it, eotteoke if he gets that idea?!" He could literally panic over it, without even knowing where Zhan actually is.
"But if there is you inside, then every house is beautiful for me!" He takes his arm and hugs it. "You really worry too much about these things..." He is not a very materialistic person, he'd be happy even if they lived in a tent.
LaNi wouldn't mind those ribs. Key word is 'fat'. XD
"It's not going to happen, even if we should argue, I won't raise my hands on him." And LaNi knows better than pissing off TiHao.
"Then that's perfect, there will even be a discount! I can pay them by the way! You don't need to waste your money!" He smiles, so thrilled at the idea that TiHao could save money!!
"On Earth, for example. After we ate by they restaurant of eel in Busan!"

Yokai
Yokai "Why didn't he even try till now? He can't easily enter the house to begin with. Don't worry." He pats his head. "There are the curses to protect." Zhan is still in the West to be a submissive bitch with any woman. There are probably many little Zhan all around.
"Ani, I can't make this place so much better. Now it is prettier inside, but before...I'm glad I managed to clean a little before you first came." Again taking the credit for skeletons' job.
"I'm sure it won't happen. Even if we argued, how long would it last?" He snorts at the thought of the only time.
"I'm so rich, do you worry about my money? But your money, where did you get it?
That's why you looked strange... I'm a real danger for you." He looks down at himself while preparing salad. "I too had some accident but while we were alone in the car mostly."

Memory "If the curses can keep him out... then arasseo. I'm reassured now." He sighs. Finally a positive side of magic that he can see.
"If it had been dirty when I first came, I would have helped you to clean so that you wouldn't have to do all the hard work on your own! It must have been so exhausting..." images.app.goo.gl/MD1gGreHrkLiHDCP9
"Mollayo, I haven't spoken with him much so I don't know if he would make me angry or if we would tag along." He shrugs.
"We must never argue, ever again..." How much he would panic only he knows.
"I don't want you to waste your money." He can't help but think TiHao is a bit greedy. XD "I got the money from selling some of those extra golden goblets... I kept only four for us." One never knows.
"Really? I'm flattered!" He snickers. Some meme once said that there is no more honest compliment than an erection. :v
