Porsche crossed the courtyard, a pair of wooden swords in hand. A new resident had settled into the hotel and he was very pleased by it. Jiang Wanyin and he had become friends almost immediately and just as quickly he fell into Porsche's ever expanding circle of those who must be protected. This was the change the elder man had needed .... a fresh start with people who cared.

Plus, it would make what was about to happen even easier. While Porsche was thrilled to have his gun once again, it was clear that it could only help to have a wider range of martial skills. Those he'd learned under Chan's tutelage weren't inadequate but there was always room to expand one's repertoire. In that vein, Jiang Wanyin had agreed to give Porsche a crash course in sword fighting.

Tapping on the other man's door with the handle of one of the wooden swords, he called out, "Good morning. Today's sword day!" He was all but bouncing on the balls of his feet in excitement.

In all actuality, this was what Cheng had missed since arriving here. He had missed the bustle of people, the comadare that happened when living in such a community. As much as he enjoyed being with his sister, it was quiet there and it didn't have the same atmosphere as the hotel did. So what that his room was a little smaller and he had to walk outside in order to get to the kitchens! The only downfall with that was that it was winter, but spring was due to arrive soon.

He had friends here, which was an interesting novelty for him. They weren't servants and they weren't his disciples but they were willing to learn from him. And some-if he dare admit it to himself- would be more than friends to him. As each day passed, he wondered if all that was keeping him was his own demons whispering poisons in his head.

Porsche was not one of those prospects. He was a friend, young, eager, and willing to learn. When he learned that Cheng knew of the sword, he had jumped at the chance to be taught and Cheng was willing to teach him. At the knock on the door, he rose from his seat and pulled the two swords he had in his possession, unable to hide the smirk on his face as Porsche all but bouncing out of his own shoes in eagerness.

"Good morning, Porsche-xiong," he greeted amicably but with less bouncy enthusiasm. "Are we training in the courtyard or in the large assembly building?" Warehouse was still a foreign term and since the building had enough room for an onsen and play area and shooting area (for metal projectiles, not bows), in Cheng's head that translated to a pavilion that was meant for large gatherings and celebrations.

"Good morning P'Wanyin," Porsche replied. Yeah this was good. Already the little lines around the other man's eyes were starting to ease. He'd known men who lived under constant stress before and it rarely ended well. So this was very very good.

"The word you're looking for is warehouse. And we can if you want. It'll be more private I think. If we work out in the courtyard we might draw a crowd. And that wouldn't bother me. But I'm also not the teacher here. So whatever works best for beginner sword lessons."

Glancing down he looked at the swords in Jiang Wanyin's hands then at his wooden ones and laughed. "Yeah so I didn't know if you had extras or anything. And I saw in an anime once where students started with wooden ones."

"Anime?" Another foreign word. But from what Porsche said, at least he might know which end was the sword was the stabby end. Cheng lifted a brow and stepped aside so that Porsche could move forward. "Starting with wood is fine. Both of my blades are live steel and I would rather not kill my first student on his first day." The joke was delivered in perfect dryness.

"But to truly understand the balance and movement, wood cannot teach you that."

For new or ongoing CR with Nie Huaisang, you can find him at ....

At his home, the Unclean Realm
In and around the Port Market
Yokohama
Any place where the interesting gossip can be found

The gossip of the hour nearby where Huaisang was? A strange deer that seemed to glow a soft blue. It was so unique and one that they were sure wasn't native here. More than that it seemed to hiccup bubbles sometimes! Bubbles that seemed to have visions of people here in them. Some even claimed they remembered dreaming what those bubbles showed.

A man with dragon features seemed to find it all very amusing as he listened from where he was seated enjoying some tea. On his lap? A tiny fluffy black dog. His blue eyes caught sight of a young man who appeared to be listening to all the rumors too and he smiled at him.

"I could show you the deer if it interests you."

What fantastical stories a person could hear if they were patient enough. Not to mention the people with which he was sharing company with when he had the time to do so. Had someone told him of this months ago, he would have worried for their sanity.

In this instance he was completely taken with the idea of a deer of apparently magical origin. He was about to ask a question or two when his attention was drawn to another. For a moment his gaze flicked between the dragonesque person and those speaking before. In the end the offer was far too tempting to ignore.

"It does indeed interest me. Such a creature must surely be a wonder to behold."

"Most call it cute but it would love being called a wonder." Finishing his tea, he left some money for his tea then carefully gathered the small pup to hold with one arm. Moving away from the table, he beckoned the young man to come with him.

"The creature is mine actually. It's currently enjoying a nap under some trees over here. It's called a Dream Beast."

Doing the same for his own refreshment, though in an absent minded manner, Huaisang put most of his attention towards the other man.

"A dream beast?" He paused to think for a moment. "Then bubbles with the images. Are those dreams?" Oh how he wished that they were. To capture such things in little bubbles? Or perhaps they were ways to look in on those one cared about? Or those that the dream beast cared about?

"They are. It visits people in their sleep and takes what they dream into itself. To store them and keep them safe. When it has too many that it hasn't been able to release somewhere safe then it can end up getting the hiccups which releases them."

Which honestly was very endearing so he could hardly fault people for finding it to be charming. He certainly found it amusing. "It's a gentle creature who can be seen as a protector of our dreams."
