anyway, several hours later (more than three. probably more than four or five, to account however long it would take for her to be left to her own devices after all of that), shi qingxuan, who is kind of hungry after a very long day of nearly getting killed and then recovering, heads for the tea room for some snacks.
douman is already there.]
...oh! Hello.
[she.
she actually looks fine? except for her yaoihand. it's still here.]
[Her appearance does actually sincerely surprise them - and then another surprise at the yaoi hand. Lots of surprises, today - its a surprise they don't knock over the tea cup in front of them.]
[Its a clown who, upon seeing someone else around, frowns deeply and instantly walks very fast to try to pass them without making eye contact. Sorry. Not staying! In fact, they definitely seem to be in a hurry.]
she's just raising her hand to give a little wave and a smile when the clown just decides that it's time for them to start making their way down town, walking fast. startled, she turns to watch after him, and then after a moment, take a few steps in pursuit, her brows furrowing in concern.]
[rng says the biome garden, so here they are! shi qingxuan looks pretty angry. she's also sitting on a bench, scribbling something down in a notebook - but she looks up when she hears footsteps.]
[Honestly, its only if Qingxuan steps into the planetarium that she will find them - they're just laying on the ground comfortably, looking up at the stars.]
[They glance over when she enters, but they don't say anything.]
but the clown is tall. so although she steps into the planetarium, she isn't. she isn't looking on the ground. she's looking upwards like she expects to see their silhouette.
if they actually stay silent she'll probably trip over them.]
[the only reason this isn't wednesday is because i'm living in fear of the zodiac effects. anyway.
it's nice and quiet in the library! shi qingxuan is browsing the shelves for some book or another, don't ask me which, i haven't thought that far ahead. her cheeks are a little flushed, but that's fine; maybe it's just warm? she's lightly fanning herself with her fan while she browses, anyway.
[Surprisingly, besides indulgences being at FULL LIMIT, Douman looks...just about the same as usual, which probably says more about Douman than anything else. They seem to have a pile of manga in their hands...Shaman King? Huh.]
[They turn the corner a little too fast, and a couple of books slide off - Douman lets out an "oh!" when they see Qingxuan, before diving down to pick up the books.]
provided douman doesn't like, slap her hand away or something, she'll lead them to the medbay. is she a little surprised they're being so cooperative? a little, but. she's not going to question it if it gets them to seek medical treatment.
anyway what's she even supposed to say. "are you okay" just seems stupid, they have no eyes.]
...okay, we're almost here. Did you want to sit down while we wait?
anyway! if douman wanders out to a more secluded section of the beach, they might just spot shi qingxuan, who has stepped away a bit to think. she's looking out at the ocean, and then she untucks her fan from her belt and unfolds it.
and then the winds start to shift around her (if i ever stop linking these gifs that's how you know i've been replaced with a pod person, they're so pretty). although, when she opens her eyes and spots douman nearby, she shuts her fan and the winds die away.]
—ah, sorry! Looking for somewhere a little more quiet?

anyway! if douman wanders out to a more secluded section of the beach, they might just spot shi qingxuan, who has stepped away a bit to think. she's looking out at the ocean, and then she untucks her fan from her belt and unfolds it.
and then the winds start to shift around her (if i ever stop linking these gifs that's how you know i've been replaced with a pod person, they're so pretty). although, when she opens her eyes and spots douman nearby, she shuts her fan and the winds die away.]
—ah, sorry! Looking for somewhere a little more quiet?
no subject
[Now that's quite a show. Lady Windmaster indeed - Douman gapes as the winds kick up, but there's clear disappointment as she shuts it all down.]
[They shake their head, approaching with a light step.]
No, no, I'm sorry...you shouldn't let me interfere.
