He had birds in his stomach, flapping wildly against his rib-cage, looking for an exit. His hands and his feet were clumsy in the bathing room and by the time he had readied himself for the meeting, he was shaking and pale. He wanted eyes - badly - in order to see his precious Zichen, to heal him and to live, for however long, in this new world. But he remembered the pain of losing them and he couldn't help his anxiety.

After bumping into various corners and counters, he made his way into the sitting room to wait. He wasn't wearing his blindfold for once and it made him feel naked and exposed. He hadn't minded Zichen taking it off, but to be in front of a stranger without it was unsettling.

"Zichen?" his voice wobbled and he cleared his throat, "Will you sit with me?"

It's today. Today they will get at least Xingchen's eyes back. He is no less nervous than his sweet soulmate. It's all he can do not to hover when he hears the blind man bumping into things.

So the second he hears that sweet voice call out for him, Zichen immediately goes to him, humming in greeting before reaching to simply take Xingchen into his arms. The missing blindfold makes him smile and lean in to press gentle kisses over the lids, trying to move slow enough to not startle Xingchen.

A few new bruises won't stop him! Unfortunately learning, while blind, can be a somewhat painful experience. But he is safe and comfortable on the sofa when he calls for Zichen. The humming has him smiling and he gives a small gasp when he is wrapped in strong, secure arms. His love and trust for Zichen is written all over his face and he blushes under the kisses.

"You won't be able to sneak up on me after today." he teases, trying to relax. Trying not to let his fear get the better of him.

Very little can! Zichen leans on impulse to continue the little kisses over that precious face, taking his time before pressing their foreheads gently together. One arm uncurls from around Xingchen's waist so he can type in answer.

"I look forward to it."

He is bright red by the time Zichen presses their heads together. It amazes him that anyone would want to kiss over his face! Especially those empty eyelids. But his Zichen is one of a kind and he smiles at what he hears.

"What if I sneak up on you?"

He's learning quickly how delightful it is to make those pale cheeks flush so darkly! Zichen's arm tightens around his soulmate in a squeeze at the playful question.

"You are welcome to."

He laughs and nuzzles against Zichen, rubbing his hands over his arm. Some of the birds in his stomach grow smaller and less impatient. Xingchen knows he can face anything with his Zichen by his side.

"You're so strong now. I don't want to be on your bad side!"

Gentle hands, just as gentle as his Xingchen. Zichen shakes his head at the comment and presses a gentle kiss to the side of his head.

"You never can. I will use my strength to protect you."

"I will protect you too." he seeks out Zichen's face and cups it between his hands, "Zichen, no one will hurt you again. I won't allow it. It might not be merciful of me, but I see the folly of giving too many chances."

When the opportunity rises to strike, they should do so and save many that heartache.

He covers those hands with his own, choosing to leave speech behind so he can nuzzle the precious hands. But also to give himself time to think. Eventually he kisses each palm before reaching for his comm.

"Protect each other, so we are safer. I gave too few, and you too many. Meet in the middle, my Xingchen."

His thumbs stroke Zichen's cheeks, warm and slow. He has all the patience in the world for his soulmate and if his Zichen can't respond, that's fine too. Xingchen knows what must be done to protect them from what happened in the past.

"...always." he smiles tremulously at the answer and bows his head.

Klaus is just a bit on edge about this - he's seen how most of the other people in Nippon can't seem to help but stare at him, he knows that most of these people have probably never seen an orc before. But it's not like they're likely to react in a way he probably hasn't seen before.

He knocks at the door.

"Hello?"

His voice is hard to mistake for anyone else.

Gentle touches that soothe away most of his fears. Enough he can ignore the rest, if only with Xingchen. He nuzzles those gentle hands before turning at the knock. Standing, he reaches to take one of Xingchen's hands.

'Stay seated or walk with me to greet him?'

Whichever his soulmate decides is fine with him. He only wishes Xingchen's comfort. Either choice will have him head for the door to open it.

Only to look up in amazement. Meeting Genbu was one thing, but this - Klaus - is just a step further. But it's rude, so he will quickly cup his hands before him and bow a little at the waist.

The knock has him half rising, habit taking over before Zichen reaches for him. He accepts the hand gratefully and pulls himself to his feet, his brow slightly furrowed.

"I'll go with you."

As if there could be any other choice. At the door, he stands a little behind Zichen, sensing his soulmate's reaction and wondering over it. But he too bows and gives their guest a smile.

"Welcome. Thank you for coming. Please come inside and make yourself comfortable."

"Erm. Right, yes."

He stoops a bit to enter, then tries shuffling about to take up as little room as possible, which is a bit difficult, since he's a big guy.

"It's good to finally see you two, I um...I hope this isn't too alarming, I guess?"

Look, he's used to people getting freaked out over his appearance.

He lets Xingchen take over the talking, trusting his soulmate to know what is best to say. Zichen studies attitude, posture, and the simple fact this...being? is here to help as best he can. All of it helps keep him from reacting to defend Xingchen just because he's startled by the sheer strangeness of Klaus' appearance.

A monstrous appearance doesn't mean a bad person. He should know this intimately. So he shakes his head and uses his device to 'speak' once more.

'It is an honor to meet you as well. Please, you are welcome here.'

Alarming? Why would it be alarming? Xingchen frowns and turns his head towards Zichen, shaking his head after a moment. Perhaps Klaus means the process itself? Well that's fine. Losing his eyes had been so painful; having them returned should be easier.

"We thought it best if we sit here." he walks to the sitting room and pours another cup of tea, "Would you like some sugar in your tea, Klaus?"

His hands are shaky and he bites his lip, trying to calm himself by taking a seat. It's hard to not be nervous and excited.

"What should I do?"

"...ah, no, it's fine."

He's used to tea the way Chillax made it, anyway. He places one of his hands on Xingchen's arm for a moment.

He's got some big hands.

"Why don't you just stay seated over here?"

Zichen stays at Xingchen's side, helping make sure his soulmate doesn't stumble and that he hasn't left his side. It includes helping him to the couch to reclaim their seats.

He nods in acceptance of the suggestion to stay seated, then waits patiently for whatever was needed.

"Alright. This stings a bit, but, well, that's the nature of healing."

He closes his eyes, pats Xingchen's arm again, and then whispers a small prayer.

He's not speaking to either of the men in the same room as him right now, and in many ways, he doubts the goddess he actually is speaking to can hear much right now. But regardless, there's a crackle of ruby-red energy between his hand and Xingchen's body.
