Lessons and memories
Who: Da Qing and open (with a closed prompt for Shen Wei)
Where: Library, around the Far Shore, Shen Wei's temple.
What: Cats are great at research and also spells. Also Da Qing remembers something.
When: 20th and 21st May
20th May: Library
He's been putting this off for a while. Or less putting it off and more he had found more interesting things to do and so had forgotten it. But D2 had suggested he look through different books to see if he spoke any languages other than Japanese.
So on a table there is a mess of books, spread around at various pages. In the middle of all of them is a cat, paw flicking a page over as he sighs. "Not this one either. This is probably a waste of time."
If he inches over just a little... There yes. A good patch of sun for him to lie in. A much better use for library tables than reading books in languages he doesn't even understand.
20th May: Around the far shore
Another thing he has been putting to the back of his to do list for a while is learning spells. So he read a book on that too and he thinks he gets the idea. It's just the shinki name, the spell and then they can't talk for ten minutes. Sounds great.
But he needs to practice and he gets the feeling that he will be in trouble if he practices on Yeye. So he needs a volunteer. So he is hanging around areas that get a lot of foot traffic, in human form this time.
If he spots anyone he thinks is a shinki he will wave at them, "Hello, have you got a moment?"
It's not always easy to spot shinki, especially if their names aren't visible."
21st May, very early morning. Temple. Closed to Shen Wei.
Cats are great at sleeping and his room in Shen Wei's temple was a very comfy one indeed. Full of cushions for cats and humans, so he was comfy at all times. He usually woke up quite late unless he had to be up for a reason.
Not so tonight, it wasn't even light when he woke up the intensity of the memory just clinging to his mind.
Yunlan... It had been Yunlan. He had looked strange, but it was him. No doubt about it. A memory from the time before, when they had been alive...
He got up and padded out of his room, barefoot he moved down the stairs and into one of the smaller rooms, probably meant for studying. Once there he found the drawer where he had hidden his project.
The project was for Shen Wei, he had found all the photographs he could of Yunlan and was in the process of sticking them into a book for him.
He hopped up onto the table and opened the book, staring at the man who had disappeared not all that long ago. His master? Someone he would follow...
His hand came up to hold the bell around his neck, moving it through his fingers as he stared at the photo. "This doesn't mean I forgive you for the supersoaker..."
