April Catch All
WHO: Xiao Xingchen and Open to All
WHEN: Throughout April
WHAT: Meditation, Shopping, Hunting/Sword Practice
WHERE: Gazin
WARNINGS: None
NOTES: Written in prose but happy to switch to action for tags
Meditation
Xingchen has found himself at the edge of the river, sitting down on the shore and listening to the water as it moves down across rocks and roots. It's calming and the perfect location for meditation and clearing one's mind. The days have been cold but slowly starting to warm with spring arriving quickly. And so with the nice weather it meant he wanted to be outside more.
He is glad he was able to find this spot, fully aware that he shouldn't stay out too long. But easily losing track of time as he sits there. If the sun is setting he won't notice it.
Shopping
He doesn't often go shopping alone but on this day he headed out to the market because some things were needed in the house and the other two were quite busy with their own tasks. He didn't figure he would be gone long and he is perfectly capable of handling such chores himself. He trusts the people of the town to not swindle him out of things considering he usually has a partner that make sure that they don't.
He will do his best on his own though as he wanders down the street. He briefly gets distracted by a smile child running past and in doing so he accidentally bumps shoulders with someone else on his other side. He turns to them and gives a little bow.
"Forgive me."
Sword Practice
With the warmer weather he is happy to be out and practicing in the sunshine. White robes billowing around him as he slices through the air with all the grace one would expect from a swordsman of his level. Even though he could still train during the winter, there is nothing quite like being able to feel the heat of the sun on your face and smell the scent of spring in the air as you work.
he senses someone come up behind him and he stops his movements. He turns towards them, "Are you here to join me?"
Hunting
There is only one way to make sure his senses having dulled since being in this place and that is to go out on a hunt. Just because he is blind doesn't mean he can't catch something himself to prepare for dinner.
He pauses as he hears something ahead of him. He finds a tree to hide himself behind as he tries to listen for what type of animal it might be. The steps seem heavier so perhaps this is something he doesn't want to mess with. As the sounds of the creature gets closer he realizes that this probably isn't prey at all.
A small twinge of concern fills him, unsure if what is approaching is friend of foe. He has been warned against some dangerous beings in the area but he has yet to actually encounter any. He isn't sure he wants to now but he has his sword and so he is well armed should anything attack.
he wonders how he managed to go from being the hunter to the hunted...Not wanting to be caught off guard he raises his sword and steps out from behind the tree, ready to attack if he senses any sort of ill or murderous intentions.
"Who is there?" If it is a creature the answer will be an attack. If it is a human...well hopefully attack isn't their first response.

"We heard A-Chen in trouble and got to him in time. Then we left, no one got hurt. Not even the beast - it might have a nest near where we were...it let us leave when we backed away." Not hiding what had happened, and he leans in to nudge his nose with Zichen's again. "It was a nice ride home after that! A-Chen's arms are nice and warm."
Once settled by the fire, he snuggles the young wolf, settling him down in the cozy little bed they'd made for him. Then shifts to lean against Xingchen, not wanting the sweet man to feel cold. And adjusts his voice's tone to a playful wheedling note: "A-Cheeeen, if A-Lan makes me sleep away from him, can I come cuddle up with you? I promise I don't snore!"
no subject
"What did you encounter?" he can't help frowning, caught by the tug on his hair, "...a mother." he nods to himself, a bit torn, "Did she come close to threatening your lives? We can't have that."
Even so, mothers are special. Her young need her. He flushes at the nudge and ushers Xue Yang to the fire.
"You can enjoy his arms for a little longer in that case."
As he finishes in the kitchen, he hears the request and snorts to himself. It will be good to see Xingchen's comfort zone, so he makes no comment. But he does start to lay plates and such on the table.

He relaxes against Xue Yang as he listens to the sounds from the kitchen. He has learned to trust him a lot more then he did upon first arrival. It was a difficult adjustment. To learn that he had been lied to and that Xue Yang was the one at Yi city. But he also hadn't ever been harmed while they were together and so it was easy to trust Zichen and let himself grow more comfortable with the idea. Even if he was slow to completely let himself relax, it has become easier.
"I doubt he would ever make that request." Xingchen believes that it would take quite a false step of Xue Yang's part for it to happen. "But you are welcome to do so."
It might be nice...to not sleep alone.
no subject
That trust Xingchen shows him is a healing thing. For all of them. Xue Yang is gentle when he wraps his arms around the blind man, snuggling in, then laughs at Xingchen's faith in Zichen.
He impulsively leans in to nuzzle, then kiss a pale cheek if Xingchen doesn't pull away. "Could we both come snuggle you then? A-Lan is very warm." And those arms are safe. He doesn't need to look over at his husband to know his hope. "Or, our bed is bigger, you could come snuggle with us!"
Xue Yang has no shame~
