"I met them on the dance floor at a winehouse here, da ge! I had my fan and was dancing by myself and looked over and she had one, too! We danced for a while then got to talking and drinking. I was telling her about someone I liked and she was really invested to we went off together and prayed to one of the giant moving statues on the island that some of the people here command."

He's beaming happily, downing more wine, leaning forward with sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks. But at least, he doesn't seem terribly concerned about the giant statues?

"I didn't know it at the time but later I found out that Shi-xiong is a heavenly official! Lord and Lady Wind Master! We have a statue of her and everything in the courtyard now."

Huaisang tears up a little bit just thinking about the statue. It truly is an exquisite work of art.

"I don't even mind that it strips me whenever I get close. It's an honor to be naked before her."

Then Huaisang's expression shifts from one bordering on straight-up lovesick to one that's startlingly stern.

"But no threatening her! Or him! No raising your voice to them or saying anything harsh! You'd best be on your nicest behavior with Shi-xiong and Lady Wind Master, you hear? Because Shi-xiong is the best and deserves the best."
