[Video; UN: heavenly four seasons]

[eternallywandering]

[Guess who else has had...an update? And a bear to celebrate it, apparently! Zishu laughs and pats the big bear on the back before addressing anyone watching.]

Though he wants to be the subject of this broadcast, I have to deny him that.

[Oh no, sad bear face!]

For those who know me or have helped me in the past, first of all - thank you. From here on, unless I do something supremely stupid, I won't hold anyone back. I have achieved immortality in my world; I am no longer sick.

[The bear has wandered off, knocking things over things in his room. Zishu smirks.]

Your audience loves you, don't worry.

[OOC: This is just a curious juvenile bear; not precious Ourhsson.]

[Uh.]

Kahl miss some things.

[Like sickness, and immortality, and big animals messing things up. Brother Zishu seems happy though?]

[downswing]

Achieved... immortality?

[The bear should be a concern, but after Xingchen survived his own situation and upon hearing Zhou Zishu's message, he finds the latter more important.]

Immortality...! I must see you.

[He hadn't told everyone. Kahl was a nice distraction from it all.]

I'm sorry, friend. I didn't wish to worry you.

[eternallywandering]

There, yes. I doubt it holds true here.

[eternallywandering]

[The bear is young and relatively nonthreatening. Zishu has his Baiyi, so what does he have to worry about?]

I would like nothing more. I'll come to you, Daozhang.

[kahl_175]

It okay. [Sick was common enough among Grineer, he would've understood. But not wanting to talk about it was okay too.]

Brother Zishu went to China? Came back how?

[eternallywandering]

Yes, I did! I was surprised. I thought I would return home for good.

[But the attempt failed. Yet it has offered him some comfort.]

[binghua]

Please.

[He's curious, for sure, but also just really wants to be in the presence of his friend.]

[eternallywandering]

Give me some clues and I'll be there. I promise the bear won't follow.

[He'll shoo the silly child off.]

[binghua]

I'm helping clean the main hallway. I hope the bear hasn't caused too much trouble for you.

[eternallywandering]

He's just curious and testing his boundaries. [Zishu scoots the juvenile on his way, giving him an apple in the process. Good bears that don't eat people deserve treats!]

I'm on my way.

[He makes his way to his dear friend and smiles as he approaches him.]

Hello, Daozhang.

[binghua]

[As soon as he hears his friend call for him, Xingchen pushes himself to his feet from where he had been scrubbing the floor and wipes his hands on his clothes before immediately reaching out for Zhou Zishu's hands or arms or whatever he can grasp.]

Zhou Zishu.

[eternallywandering]

[It's good to return to someone who cares about him. Zishu flushes and captures those grasping hands, pulling Xingchen into a warm hug. Nothing less will do!]

I'm back and I feel much better.

[downswing]

Through cultivation.

[eternallywandering]

Through the Combined Six Cultivation method. My meridians were repaired.

[downswing]

Your flesh reborn.

[binghua]

[The hug is returned without hesitation and if Xingchen clings a little tightly to Zhou Zishu, then neither of them need to acknowledge it.]

I'm so happy for you.

[eternallywandering]

Yes. At a high price.

[eternallywandering]

[He is always happy to hold Xiao Xingchen. The other man is adorable personified and Zishu wants to help him as much as he can in this...interesting...environment.]

I'm happy to see you again. Where can I help?

[downswing]

Of what nature?

[eternallywandering]

Wen Kexing gave his life for me. I wasn't aware those were the terms beforehand. I managed to share my life force with him in time.

[downswing]

( ...how does immortality emerge from the life force of one, and he mortal? Sometimes, you just have to trust the Heavens on this one. )


Then, both spared.

[scrapgege]

Immortality through cultivation? That's good news, right?

[beitangmoran]

.... I thought those were only legends. But if it helped you, all the better.
