Luocha knew that it was unexpected for others, but as someone who prided himself on good behaviour (despite his oftentimes shady actions), he was just glad that his efforts to be good were being seen. "Oh? Sure, why not~ I know a tea shop here that does really nice drinks."

"Ah, good... I have really been trying my best," He chuckled softly, head tilted to the side as peridot gaze met with gold. He knew that even if he was being a pain, technically Jing Yuan had no jurisdiction, but... he found himself not wanting to cause more trouble whilst he was around.

Good evening. Hopefully everyone is well-hydrated.

Everything he did was with good intentions. But he won't go into that. No trauma dumping from the vampire. "I have been trying my best, indeed~" He nodded. Luocha was aware that his actions were often scrutinised and himself misjudged, despite his best attempts to keep himself in the clear.

He is trying his best. All he's ever done is try and help others. "I have been keeping on top of my... Unsociable inclinations and I even stopped spreading misinformation ~" He grinned at the General.

Luocha was unfortunately an overexplainer sometimes. Especially considering people seem to think he's the shadiest guy ever. "I have not caused any trouble this month, trust. Your old buddies, however..." He chuckled softly. "Hopefully my services won't be needed yet."

Luocha blinked in surprise, but he accepted what was handed over to him, confusion on delicate features.

"That makes sense," He chuckled softly. "A comfortable space is quite important for rest and recovering from the day."

He looked around as they entered the cave. "Woah, it is indeed quite cozy~"

"Ohh, I see. I'd love to meet them," He nodded. "Nature is so intriguing... I've never seen critters quite like this in the other places I've visited."

"I have just been busy, keeping it low-key, making sure I stay out of trouble. A lot of crazy stuff happened recently, ahaha..." He chuckled, tilting his head. "Sure, I'll join you. I wasn't that busy."

Luocha had been out on a little "hunt", so he hadn't expected to be bumped into or perceived today. Not that he had anything to hide- he never killed anyone. "Ah, my dear General~ Can't keep me out of your mind?" He smirked slightly at that.

"Oh? I have never seen such critters before," He walked with Ororon.

"I don't mind a cave. Shelter is more important," He nodded.

"I see... Thank you for the advice," He'll definitely be heeding that. Him and the sun.... Do not perfectly get on either, so he can already tell he'll be struggling.

"I see... This is quite different to the other lands I've travelled... warmer too..." He mused softly, nodding calmly. "It is a beautiful place, though."

Swirling the red liquid in his glass, staring into it as if it held all the answers.

"Thank you," He chuckled softly. "So, would you know where I am, Ororon?"

"I go by Luocha, the pleasure is mine..." He bowed, hand over his chest. Very polite and not a suspicious guy at all, trust him!

Luocha was observing the young man, head tilted to the side. "So, who may you be?"

Polite and gentle smile from the medic. "Hello there~"

Surprised, before baring his own fangs. For just a second.

"I see..." He's observing him, still calm. "Who may you be?"

Sipping tea, glancing aside. "You've been watching a while, did you... need something?"

He's just reading his novel, looking very intrigued.

He's just sipping his tea, no suspicious activities. The book in front of him is just a silly romance novel.

Sipping his tea, chilling out.

Elegantly sneezes.

(Raising his glass before downing the lot)

"I am simply exploring."

"Fufufufu... You have a keen sense. But don't worry. I'm not here for your blood."

"I mean, what else could there be? Those cursed by Abundance do tend to... make people's sense of threat rise up."

"They would not gaze upon this world yet... You're being very suspicious. I am just a healer who was cursed by Abundance."

"They are an Aeon, a deity who grants immortality and great healing abilities... yet takes away one's humanity or otherwise corrupts them beyond sanity... I am simply one of their many, many unwilling victims."

"You... have such sharp senses," His smile remained polite, but peridot eyes flashed with a brief golden glow. "Those of the Abundance are not what they appear."

Casually throwing up those horrible ginkgo leaves mixed with blood. He might be a bit injured.

"Is it because of my Abundance abilities?" He casually did a thing with a vine, waving it around before dissipating it.

Smiles politely. "Oh? How so?"

"The world I came from never got this hot," He mused softly , drinking the cool beverage. "I guess you really are like a lion, General~ Wanting to rest in the warmth."

Accepts the bottle, holding it to his wrist a moment. "This heat is deeply unpleasant today..."

Fanning himself in the shade, basically shirtless. 😔🪭

Undoing his coat, slips out of it. Also gets himself out of that damn undershirt bc black cloth absorbs heat. Don't ask where he got the fan from. Collapses onto a shaded bench. 😔🪭

The mysterious Merchant did indeed have a history with the old lion General. It was his own way to pass his long life away. "I'll try my best."

He's sticking to his herbal tea. Coffee isn't his favourite in general.

A soft chuckle left him. "Ah, well teasing is simply that~ Obviously you are not as relaxed as you'd like people to think," He commented softly, head tilted to the side as he observed. "You're welcome, dear General~"

"I did observe that, yes. And Chamomile is also good for relaxation. So a bonus."

Fufufu...~ What chaos is going on today~?

As soon as he himself has recovered from that god awful taste, he stands up. And just as mysteriously as he appeared, he's gone. Woah.

Luocha nodded, kneeling next to where Dan Heng was laid. Gently, carefully, he took his wrist, tucking his hair away from his face before biting down. But this time, instead of just draining the blood, he used a bit of Abundance power. Just enough to call the poison to the bite wound.

💭 Trust the process, these Xianzhou folk... shaking my head....
