⌛ Where: Several places.
⌛ Warnings: Unknown. Will edit if needed!

I: Scrap Collecting God Returns.

[This world became stranger and stranger, it seemed. It was only a blink of an eye since he was last there. He had returned home only to find himself within the same time loop and soon thrown back.

It was odd to say the least.

But now Xie Lian sat under the beautifully green leaves of a blossoming tree with a steamed bun in hand, contemplating his next move.

Beside him was a straw hat and a blade, a long and slender with a black mirrored finish. A silvery line ran through the centre of the blade. It seemed to hum with an old power. Xie Lian seemed not to notice, or care, as he bit happily into his bun.]

II: Is this scrap?

[Xie Lian, for all his years, was a surprisingly innocent soul. By way of his cultivation method he had avoided all worldly pleasures, drink and sexual encounters being the main. That didn't mean he was without knowledge!

So when he approached a shop to enquire if they had any scraps to offer him, he was surprised when he was offered what could only be called a phallus!]

Uhh this is... this isn't really what I was asking for...?

[But the elderly woman was already walking away from him, leaving Xie Lian stunned, holding a male shaped object in his hand, and blushing bright enough to put a tomato to shame.]

III: Feeling a certain kind of way.

[It had started off as a strange thought, at first. Just a mild urge that was easily pushed away.

But as the day went on, Xie Lian was undeniably in a bad spot.

There was something very wrong with himself and he knew it could only be caused by the strange world he now lived in. However what the cause was, he had no idea. All he knew was that it made him uncomfortable and, as strange as it would seem, craving of human company. He had just enough presence of mind to not go and attach himself to any old person, however, and instead found himself desperately attempting to make his way back home.

If he managed, he could barricade himself inside. Not that he thought for a second that might stop him should his urge grow in strength, but with luck...

Xie Lian took a shaky breath and wiped sweat from his brow.]

Why must this happen now... haha can anyone have worse luck than me?

Wufei returned the smile with a little chuckle. "Likewise," he agreed, but that didn't mean he would enjoy it. At least not while he was alone. Even running out for a few necessities was more taxing than he cared to admit.

He nodded in agreement to the request. "Of course," he agreed lightly. After all, he could go home and pin Duo down for a while to get some relief. Xie Lian wasn't so lucky. "Perhaps a distracting conversation will help?" he offered. "I know my initial briefing was rather short, perhaps I should be more detailed?"

"A distraction would be good, thank you Wufei." The smile Xie Lian gave him then was gentle and very grateful. He could focus on the sound of the younger man's voice and that would help to keep his control, he was sure.

And if not... There were other ways.

"Tell me your tales? Just how exciting a life have you been leading whole I've been gone?" Xie Lian tried for a teasing but he knew it was weak. There was nothing he could do about that.

"Well, my favorite story," at least that wouldn't make both their predicaments worse, "is about Shiro."

So he leads into the tale, exaggerating the difficulty of cleaning out the old building to ready it for a party. He made it sound like Shiro had been hiding, the hardest little creature to catch until he found a little bell, and wrapped it up in some leftover webbing to toss it towards the spitten and coax her out of hiding to play.

And then, of course, he'd fallen in love with her because she was so sweet and so beautiful, that he'd brought her home. And then had to convince Duo to keep her! That was exaggerated, too, with the little spitten winning him over 'instantly'.

"Shiro?" The question was asked, but it needn't have been. Wufei was more than eager to spin him a tale and help to distract him. And it did help. Xie Lian was able to summon up more smiles and even a quiet laugh. He was polite and asked questions as needed, making the appropriate sounds of encouragement and generally being a very good listener.

By the end of it, Xie Lian was very interested in meeting this spitten and Duo. Though he had a feeling the latter would have to wait until he was over he issue he was suffering.

"Maybe one day you can introduce me?" Xie Lian finally spoke, offering that nebulous 'one day' as a placeholder for a time in their future. "She sounds very cute. And with so many legs, of course she could only be cuter."

Wufei was happy to answer -- the story was a good distraction for him, as well, and when he was done with the tale, he nodded eagerly. "Of course, I'd be delighted to introduce you. She's very affectionate, and I'm sure she'll be happy to make a new friend."

"I would like that very much." His smile was warm and soft, it was happy. A new small friend was good. But a friend to offer such a thing was even better. Xie Lian found he really did like Wufei. He may have been young but he was eager and he was honest, and he could definitely appreciate those qualities in a person.

"Are there treats I should bring to win her favour?" He asked then, already wondering where he would find treats or even a toy as an offering to the feline.

He chuckled warmly, nodding in agreement. "They sell treats specifically for spittens, but scraps of meat would endear her to you just as easily. She's a very affectionate little thing."

"Then I'll do my very best to find something to please her." Animals had always liked him, so he really wasn't worried about being hated. But it never hurt to offer a little bribery, just in case.

"Thank you for walking with me, Wufei-gongzi. I think, without your help, I would..." Probably have ended up curled up at the side of the road by now. But he was not far from his home and he knew he had kept Wufei for long enough. He was probably in need of seeing his partner. Keeping the poor man longer would be selfish on his part. "I hope we can meet again soon, under better circumstances."

Wufei offered him a deep bow in return. "You're very welcome, the distraction was a benefit for me, as well. I hope it passes soon for you," he said warmly.

Normally he wouldn't be so hasty to leave someone, but today? Today he turns and hurries on his way home. He doesn't break into a run, but he was tempted to.

Xie Lian brought his hands together and gave a small, respectable salute and bow of his own.

"I hope so. Thank you." He would have returned the sentiment, however he was pretty sure that Wufei had someone waiting for him who could scratch that itch. So he just watched with a smile as his young friend hurried off. Only when he was completely out of sight did he softly sigh to himself before leaving for home.
