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.

Zichen's heart skips a beat at the gentle pressure and he presses his lips to Xingchen's temple. It feels like a dream to have him in Gazin and there is only one thing that can make all of this better. A-Yang is right: they must restore Xingchen's sight.
"I would like that." he smiles at the effortless way his soulmate supports him, "What are you craving? I'll find it for you, I promise."
no subject
But for now he is blissfully unaware as he enjoys that kiss to his temple and the close proximity of the other man. "I will be content with anything, you know I am not that particular about what I eat." And he doesn't want the other man to go through any difficulties on his part. He will be content with whatever it is that Zichen wants to eat.
no subject
Yet he cherishes the eyes he was given and each day, when he looks into a mirror or still water, he sees his Xingchen.
"I know just the place." Zichen isn't in any particular hurry. Walking with the other man is something he deeply enjoys. He smiles in his soulmate's direction, his love unmistakable.
"I'm glad you're here. I don't feel whole without you."
no subject
"I hope we never have to be apart again. I will always be happiest by your side."
Xingchen feels the same as Zichen. He hasn't felt whole since separating from him. It is only since coming here and walking alongside him again that he has felt like everything is back to how it should be.
no subject
Xingchen won't disappear before his eyes. He has to be certain of that.
"Let me tell you what's on the menu..."
no subject
He settles at the table, missing the contact immediately when they have to let go of each other. But it is necessary and Xingchen isn't one to want too be too improper in a public space. He places his hands in his lap as he waits to hear the choices.
"If this is a favorite place of yours then I am sure they have wonderful food."
no subject
After reading the menu choices - he does choose some he thinks Xingchen will like more - he smiles and shifts his chair so they can sit side by side, their knees touching.
"I wouldn't give you anything disgusting."
no subject
He reaches over and places his hand lightly on Zichen's. "I'm glad we could do this."
