[ 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. ]

Ah... I understand a little better now, thank you, daozhang. [ Another greeting with cupped hands. ]

After you contained them so, what did you do with them, if this one may ask?

Well, for the one who needed to recover she just came out once she was better.

The others... I think they broke the jar at some point, so we had to subdue them with other methods.

... I see. And I'm glad that she got better!

She's a good child, and she was doing her best to make a bad situation better.

In any case, I don't think jars will work here. We'll need a bit more muscle.

[ Sizhui just brightens at the way Xie Lian speaks of her, it is so affectionate. ]

I will remember that, daozhang!

[ Not that he was going to use jars in the first place... ]

Do you think the ghosts here will need to be restrained?

Well, if we want to ask them question we'll have to stop them from running for a little while, won't we?
