[ enter one (1) startlingly (...supernaturally) attractive young man: long dark hair in a slightly crooked braid, very fine red clothing, silver jewelry.. though he's missing an eye, the other hidden behind a patch. and his skin is, well, completely bloodless. corpse-white, you might say. dead, someone else might agree.
and behind him, puttering around in the background at the stove, a certain well-meaning culinary disaster. hm. ]
If one has questions about powerful ghosts-- [ the corner of his mouth lifts, smile polite. ] --one might ask a ghost.. of some small strength. Yes? I won't claim that the ghosts here are precisely the same as my kind, but they seem like enough. [ he taps a black nail against his cheek, smile curling a little higher. ] I do suggest not throwing salt at them if you'd rather not be eaten out of sheer affront.
[ a pause, a shift, fingers trailing down his braid to rub absently over a small coral pearl wound into it, the action obviously contemplative. ] I.. may.. be able to detain one of these ghosts next it appears. If you agree which you'd like. I promise nothing. [ particularly if it would distress his highness in any way.
a brief glance back at xie lian, a wave of his hand to indicate him. ] My husband can verify most of what I say, should you not trust a Calamity's word. [ .. see, xie lian, he's being helpful. ]

This place has messed up time, life and death too much for me to risk you demanifesting now. I wouldn't be sure when you would come back or how, unlike back home.
... I don't know which one is easier to catch, but she won't come close to me again if you're here. I think others have seen her.

Nothing would keep me from you forever. I won't take the risk, though, not if it means leaving you alone again.
Say the word and I'll find her, if that's your wish.

[He's basically just thinking out loud.]
... isn't it weird how they're color-coded in the same way as Calamities? The black one even lives underwater like He Xuan did. Oh and wasn't there another one? The lumberjack? He actually interacts with people, I think, so he might be easier to approach.
