There's a soft smile even as he leans in to kiss him.

That shyness, however, has that smile brightening a bit," I know that I don't have to announce it anymore." Now? He thinks it was a habit that he did it. Even though he knows that Ouyang accepted his affection without any hesitation.

The mention of moving from the Four Seasons Manor has him giving a nod," As long as I am with you two I don't care where we go." That? It would always be true. Ouyang and Runyu meant the world to him.

"Did something happen that I don't know about?" Something that made the decision for them to move. Not that he needs a reason but he was curious.

[theatrics]

He didn't want to lie, but he also didn't feel right gossiping. Ouyang pressed his lips together and decided to explain, at least his part of it.

"There is a frequent guest of the masters who has run afoul of me indirectly. I think perhaps he has done so with Runyu, as well. When the matter arose, we decided it was best to distance ourselves and get a home that's all our own."

[reliesondirtytricks]

It was understandable when one did not want to gossip. Gossip was something that tended to harm a person. They'd both probably dealt with a lot of that before they showed up in this place.

When Ouyang starts talking, though, he dutifully listens. Hearing that someone had run afoul of the man before him and perhaps even to Runyu he isn't happy. No one had a right to do that, with either of them, indirectly or not.

"Understandable, A-Yang. I would not want either of you around someone like that. Yes, you both can take care of yourselves but no one would be doing something like that. So, it'll be better that we have a home away from the Four Seasons. A home that is just our own."

"We will leave soon." Thankfully, between the three of them they still didn't have a lot. A few personal items, tea, furniture... And furniture could be replaced if needed.

"We are looking for a good portion of land to build a stable and have training grounds. I wish to continue teaching my pupil there."

They had never truly needed much between the three of them. Or if they needed something then Runyu tended to supply it for them. Their immortal materializing things out of nowhere. If they did need anything else then they could retrieve it. He, himself, had enough money to toss at whatever they wanted or need. The money he'd received from this place had barely been used save for a time or two.

"Are you going to teach them how to ride too?" It's asked even as he gives the man who holds his heart a smile. He did not, after all, know if this pupil of Ouyang's knew how to ride.

[theatrics]

"If that is something he wishes to learn." For now, they're focusing on his swordsmanship.

"He is not a big man and he was told that he could not be strong enough, that he needed protecting. We plan to prove any who think that wrong. I will teach him whichever martial arts he wants to learn from me."

[reliesondirtytricks]

If the man wanted it then he could see Ouyang teaching him many different things. Whether it be the sword, riding a horse, or a using a bow. His love was diverse in many different types of fighting styles. A very strong man in every way as far as Mingye was concerned.

"One does not have to be a big man to be strong." Nor did it mean that they needed to be protected. "You know that if you ever wish for any help then I will help in whatever way I can," he tells him. Even if it meant using the dark energy as a bit of target practice.

Those eyes watch him," He has a good teacher and I am sure he will come out proving everyone wrong who thinks such things."

[theatrics]

"I have no doubt of it," Ouyang murmured. Admittedly, Ouyang worked all his life to prove his size didn't represent his strength. Riley seemed to have a similar attitude after being called weak by someone near to him. Everyone starts out weak. Strength wasn't always obvious. Like skill, it sometimes took time to cultivate it.

"Most of the people I have trained did not learn to fight by choice. Park is different in that respect."
