Normal.


After taking Shin to a place he deemed appropriate to him recover his life force, and staying close to assist him in the process, he escorts him back to Guyun, when it's already dark outside. He and Shin haven't revealed each others' "everyday identities" yet but now Garan knows where the other lives. He doesn't get inside Shin's house nor approaches, he just accompanies him there and watches until the other steps inside, before turning around and walk away.

He heads to a shrouded spot and takes off his mask. The moment he does that, his outfit changes to his everyday clothes and his tails become invisible again.
With a sigh, he steps back into the dark street while fixing his hair in a bun.
He heads to the centre of the city, where the market happens, even if.now.all the stands are closed, and retrieves his "backpack basket" where he puts his products to carry them. He was at the market when the crisis begun and had to swiftly sneak away from the crowd in order to go to help, without being recognized or noticed. He finds it really important to keep his nature hidden from the other citizens.

Evilconquering "He belongs here, but he has been away for some time." He hesitates when he asks Zhongli is a God. "He can be seen as such...but he is no God.
There was this evil God, the Chi, who corrupted me and used me for his purposes."
He keeps his eyes on him, listening carefully. "How are you different...you look completely normal..." He might already know the answer but he would rather let him admit himself.

SunDust «He is not? Are you sure? Everyone here is convinced that he is the god Rex Lapis, though…» He is not ready to believe Zhongli is just an average, mere demigod!!
«Oh… I am truly sorry to hear… that must have been an awful experience for you and everyone who holds you dear…» Even if it sounds like the usual thing anybody says, he feels genuinely saddened to hear it.
«I… am not auriold, I just… pretend to be, because I know that they do not like those who are like me…» Even though, in Lianxi people have nothing against Kitsune, he doesn't feel safe to reveal it nonetheless.

Evilconquering ''The presence of an actual God has many risks. He is no God but he is still someone special, most importantly who cares about this world and its people.
It was long ago, don't let this matter make you feel down. My life now couldn''t be better.'' It would only be if he learnt to enjoy himself.
''How would they tell the difference? Having to hide your nature is sad, though. No one should be wrongly accused because of others' evil deeds.''

SunDust «I see. He is just different too, but the auriold do not fear him…»
He nods at his words, reassured to hear that his life improved so much, now.
«They would be able to tell the difference if I did not hide my nature. Those who have never seen my true form should not be able to tell, though… I really do not know what to make of this situation.» Even if he hates the idea, he is already considering that he may be forced to leave Lianxi.

You cannot live in the shadows. Just wait, we'll find the culprit and we'll send him to justice. It cannot be that difficult, if the others are busy with the other matter, I'll deal with this myself. For now, rest here, so you'll stay safe.''
