⌛ Who: Yu Mingye and Runyu
⌛ What: Easing the Mind
⌛ When: After this conversation
⌛ Where: Runyu's Place
⌛ Warnings: TBD

Yu Mingye did not make this into a habit. When he'd played for Xingchen it had been because the man wanted to hear it. Had wanted to hear it since before Xingchen had found a way to give him back his arm. An arm that he was still strengthening. Xingchen had been the first to ever step into his personal space. That, in itself, had been weird to him. No one did that. Xiao Xingchen did.

Now? He was heading off towards the address that Runyu had given him. Just walk in. Who did that? He could easily slip through the shadows and in through the window. Instead, comes through the front door and shuts it behind him. Runyu was definitely courting danger allowing him just to walk right in like that, even if he's no danger to his newfound friend.

"Love what you did with the place," he teases.

"The park is the easiest and simpliest place to go."

The park was a pretty vast place and would give them some much needed space. Though, he's almost wondering why it would be that simple. It couldn't be, could it? However, he was already giving Runyu the benefit of the doubt and custody of himself. Well, partial custody. That was still mildly amusing to him.

"Seems fair enough to me."

He finishes his tea and places his xiao at his waist before standing, stretching, and watches the other for a moment," Coming?"

Runyu chuckled and rose to his feet, sweeping his sleeves out of the way so they would rest properly as he walked. With a hand, he waved for Mingye to lead the way, easily clearing away the tea with a sweep of his hand. As if the set had never been there in the first place. And all while he was following after him too as if that tea had been nothing but an after thought.

"I wouldn't miss it," he declared as they entered the hallway, his steps easily falling in line with the man next to him.

It was weird seeing the tea set just disappear like that. However, the Darknight Court had an invisibility pill so he couldn't very well say much to what the ability of the other man's. Even if he much rather was amused by that. Something disappearing just like that.

"I would hope not," he teases slightly before leading him away from the house and off towards the park. The place would always remind him of when Xingchen helped him regain his arm, but that was neither here nor there.

"How big can you make the barrier?"

"How big do you need it to be?"

Which didn't answer the question while also answering it at the same time. Runyu gave him an amused look but still waited for the answer to his question. After all, it would be easier on both of them that way.

That did not really answer his question. Though, it did tell him a bit about Runyu's abilities. He pulls his xiao from his sash and twirls it, something that has become a bit of a habit now. It gave him something to do with his hands. More like it allowed him to keep strengthening to his right hand after regaining it.

"Big enough that it'll keep people from getting hurt or stumbling in where they shouldn't be."

"I can do that."

So once they were close enough to a nice big space with no one around, he stepped forward. From him came a blue energy that then spread out around them, almost ripping like it was water. Spreading wider and wider, they soon were standing in the middle of a wide space with plenty of room above them as well.

Turning to face him, Runyu rested an arm behind him as well as one before him.

"Is this big enough?"

Mingye's eyes never leave Runyu, not even when the other steps forward. When that blue energy spreads out around them and leaves them essentially in a dome. A big blue watery... dome, something that has him shaking his head, but the slight smile is there. Then he looks toward Runyu when the other turns to face him.

"It's big enough. Nothing can get out?"

"Not unless I allow it."

After all, he was an Immortal. More than that, he was actually very powerful. He didn't really have the arrogance to say he was the strongest of his kind alive but he knew that there were things he could accomplish that others couldn't.

This, for example.

Not unless he allowed it. Those words, alone, have the demonic cultivator tossing out a bit of dark energy at the dome itself. More for the sake of his own amusement than to really break it, as well as a bit curious to see if it would ripple or not. Not that he actually expects it to. However, he does give Runyu a soft smile.

"It'll work."

The barrier, itself, was weird to be in, but it would definitely come in handy.

"The dark energy isn't my only weapon."

The energy seemed to move but denied the energy from leaving. Runyu looked over to watch it, noting the color of the energy again. So dark. It had to be Yin based like his own. Fascinating really.

Returning his gaze to him, he gestured for him to continue. Obviously he was content to stay where he was, clearly seeing no danger for himself despite being the only one who could get hit here.

"I would like to see it."

Okay, the energy moving actually seems to amuse the hell out of him. It didn't matter that his dark energy couldn't get out of the little bubble they were in. He has also noticed those eyes on him, watching him. Not something that he was used to. Not unless they were his father's spies to make sure he did what he was meant to.

The weapon, itself, seems to come out of nowhere. Or it's possible that it comes out of the dark energy itself. The shape of it looking exactly like a crescent moon, if it wasn't a scimitar it would probably look harmless. Or like a mortal's boomerang.

The weapon was beautiful. Runyu admired it as he watched it appear and the way the energy seemed to roll off of it. Very much like it was a part of the man who was currently holding it. With the easy way he held it he knew that he understood how to use it well too.

"It's beautiful. The design work on it is so intricate."

If Runyu wanted a demonstration of the weapon then he might find that there's a bit of a problem. Mingye? He's not used to stationary targets. It was something that he'd even told Lan Wangji. Of course, the man had been a bit crazy in the respect that he'd made himself a target. That was not something that he'd ever ask of anyone.

"It comes apart in a few different pieces too," he tells him, smile there, even as he throws the scimitar and it comes apart. Each piece of the scimitar going in different directions before he pulls it back to himself with the dark energy.

Watching it come part, he noticed how the dark energy continued to keep it tied to Mingye. Truly a spiritual weapon indeed. But, a weapon displayed was only a show piece. It required something to strike to fully be shown off.

"Would you like something to aim for? I can summon something for you to throw it toward if you would like to show off what it can do more."

Something to aim for? He almost wonders what Runyu could possibly summon for him to aim for. Though, he's also noticed the other man's abilities too. They were, after all, inside a dome. One that his own dark energy couldn't even penetrate. Something that amused him. Not that he'd ever admit that it amused him. To finally find something that his own dark energy couldn't pass through.

"Only if it's not a stationary target."

"They won't be."

With a sweep of his arm, he spread it wide to the side then closed his eyes. Soon shards of ice were appearing around him, about twenty of them. When his eyes opened, he locked his gaze on the other man then let them fly toward him.

They were hardly stationary now and, though he was not aiming to harm him, he was giving something for Mingye to fight again. So he could really show him his powers.

Shards of ice was new. It was better than Heavenly Lightning. That? He wouldn't want anything to do with ever again.

He gives the other a bit of a smirk before focusing on the ice shards before him. His speed is used to dodge them, a blur before the other man. Mingye allows himself to fall into his element and almost ignores that Runyu is even there.

Dark energy is used against a few before his crescent moon scimitar is tossed out and it separates to slam into ice shards. Of course, the dark energy pulls it right back to him in one piece.

If one of those shards gets him, he doesn't truly notice. He's too used to pain, but he's also enjoying himself and in his element.

Though he could have harmed him if he had the intent for it, Runyu only wanted to watch Mingye. For that reason, he was careful to have the shards miss at the last moment if they got too close. It was interesting to see someone enjoying himself like this and he smiled a little as he observed him. It was just his hand moving the ice through the air, guiding it with a calm ease that allowed him the time to be audience as much as participant.

There was an elegance to the weapon. More than that, there was a swiftness to how Mingye moved. The dragon couldn't help but to enjoy the motions, how there was a beauty to it.

It was only when the last shard was finally destroyed that Runyu's hand stopped moving, settling at his waist. "You are truly connected with your weapon and you have a good control over the energy that you use. Though I'm sure you've trained hard you also have a talent to how you fight."

He doesn't realize that Runyu is controlling the ice shards, and that is probably a good thing. It allows him to stay in the fight, so to speak. To not focus on the wielder. Something like that could cause serious harm to a person.

Even after that, he's still full of energy and allows his scimitar to twist and twirl in the air. "You can take it and look if you wish." He didn't mind the other checking out his weapon. It wasn't like he was too worried over anything happening.

"I've worked hard to perfect myself."

"No, that is alright. I find that I like seeing it the best in your own hands. It's suited to you."

Runyu moved forward then now that there was no longer a combat situation. Not that he'd ever been in danger in the first place but that hardly mattered. It was always better to be careful in order to respect a fighter.

"I don't really carry an special weapon anymore. But it always honors me when someone is willing to show me their own."

The crescent moon scimitar is sent away and he gives Runyu a soft smile. He's pretty sure this is the second time that someone has told him his weapon suits him, or what he does for that matter. Though, that smile brightens a little when the other mentions feeling honored.

"I didn't mind showing you," he tells him. "Do we want to stay out here or head back inside?" Staying 'out here' could even easily mean in their little bubble. He didn't really care one way or another what they did.

"Let's go back in."

Dropping the barrier, Runyu held his hand out to Mingye. There was a smile on his lips that said he was about to be up to something. Which, really, probably wasn't that far from the truth.

"Sounds good."

How was it that he kept running into tactile people? He still found Runyu's abilities interesting, though. Mingye also finds that he likes that smile too. Seeing as he's curious what the other is up to, he reaches out and takes his hand.

As it turned out the reason Runyu had asked for his hand was that he was able to transport them from where they stood directly to his place in the blink of an eye. A single step from him and they were right there at the table where they'd been drinking tea not too long ago. This way he could show him another one of his abilities honestly.

"Would you like more tea?"

The moment they end up right back at the table, in the house, he turns slightly looking towards the door and then gives a bit of a laugh. Looking over towards Runyu, he smiles and moves to sit down and curl his feet up under him, after taking his shoes off. No need to get the couch dirty.

"I'd love more tea. Also? That is a very convenient way of transportation. Pretty quick."
