It's been too quiet. Something in the air has been constantly causing Sun disturbance. At first he thought maybe it was something he ate that didn't agree with him (Yeah right), and then he thought maybe something was up with Nezha, maybe one of the monkeys got into some mischief, but...the more he thought about it, the more he came to the realization:

I haven't heard from Monkey King.

It wouldn't have been the first time his mentor disappeared like this without contacting him. Probably wouldn't be the second time OR even the last.

Ping ping

.....PING.

After what seemed like a lifetime though, Sun finally received a text.

Don't tell anyone else.

"Where the hell is this place?" He's clicked the location, but Jesus Christ, it doesn't seem familiar at all. All he knows it's that it's in the desert. Suppose this is a better time than any to visit. Whatever, he's already on his way.

Txt: Stay put. I'm headed there right away.

Sun arrives just as quickly as he can, which is pretty quick considering. To have everything back really is nice, but....what isn't nice is seeing Monkey King in the state that he's currently in. He thought Monkey King could have been in trouble, but Sun hadn't expected this.

"What happened?" Sun is quickly rushed over to his mentor's side one hand on his shoulder, while the other is on the sand to support his own weight. The first thing he notices....is how Monkey King seems to be turning to stone?

"Monkey King..."

>>>

He hobbles to the cave's entrance and drops on the ground just outside, phone in his hand. It's late, or early, either way the desert is still dark when he sends the texts.

to: @sxnburst from: Monkey King

[txt]: need your help. urgent

Monkey King shared his location with you!

[txt]: don't tell anyone else

"I'm sure they'll be happy to see you." Even if maybe there was something between him and Break, he's sure the guy would be happy to see him. If Nicolette was happy for Wang Yi's return then he had to be, right?

"Let's grab a drink and hang out." He gestures foe Wang Yi to follow him and for just a moment, he walks in silence, tail swaying behind him then twisting loosely,

"I got me my own place in the isles not far from Monkey King. Zhang San isn't here. The stars sent him back and a friend from our world...he's here. And everything was returned back to me." A lot certainly happened.

"Your hair...I'll believe it," he says with a smile. Sun's seen everything and for someone whose hair can make clones and such, it wasn't a far-fetched thing to believe that Wang Yi's hair in his current life would be magic.

"Oh, you know," Sun waves his hand. "Nicolette is here. So is Zhilan and Break." He knows THEY'VE missed him. Shit, Sun has missed Wang Yi just as much. "Eiden's been here too. He'll be ecstatic to hear that you're back. Maybe even a little surprised by your magic hair."

"But as for your growth spurt, aren't you passed that age already though? Something tells me you'll be shorter than me for a long time." Oh, he's cocky alright!

[sxnburst]

"She's dedicated and motivated in making sure these guys are healthy that's for sure." Sun can relate though. He has his own garden in his home. Some were hidden, but the ones others could see were certainly well taken care of.

"Sometimes tells me she doesn't use any kind of magic to keep them healthy. I've been meaning to ask her what kind of fertilizers and such she uses."

the slight shift of his attention works; Titus finds himself looking at their surroundings in admiration. there really were so many pretty flowers to look at...!

"Yeah, that's pretty amazing! Think she just has a green thumb or somethin'? Seems like a whole lotta work to keep all this stuff healthy."

[sxnburst]

"Your hair...I'll believe it," he says with a smile. Sun's seen everything and for someone whose hair can make clones and such, it wasn't a far-fetched thing to believe that Wang Yi's hair in his current life would be magic.

"Oh, you know," Sun waves his hand. "Nicolette is here. So is Zhilan and Break." He knows THEY'VE missed him. Shit, Sun has missed Wang Yi just as much. "Eiden's been here too. He'll be ecstatic to hear that you're back. Maybe even a little surprised by your magic hair."

"But as for your growth spurt, aren't you passed that age already though? Something tells me you'll be shorter than me for a long time." Oh, he's cocky alright!

"My hair is magic, I don't need tips," Wang Yi says with a straight face. Is he lying though? Who knows.

"...hahah, who's 'we' though, seriously? Don't keep me in suspense."

He has a good idea after checking the contacts list, but he still wants to hear it from Sun's mouth. It's possibly an even better way than tracking down each of the names one by one.

"Anyways, I'm still in the middle of my growth spurt this time. I might end up taller than you, so don't get too cocky, tch."

[sxnburst]

Oh, he can't help but laugh. Not at her, but just at the reaction. "I wouldn't do that. Though, I think he'd be flattered if anything." Though Nezha had been pretty popular in the past, hadn't he? Sun wonders if he was popular on Earth. In this body of his. Hm.

Ooooh, he outed himself. WELL, not outed. It's not a secret if you know the story and it seems almost EVERYONE knows the story. Never mind that though. He blinks a few times, "I see." So she was an angel of some sort? A divine being? OR someone who could connect to those in heaven.

"Doesn't it feel nice when you know you're not the only one? Can't help but be excited even if it isn't something to be excited about." Something about not feeling alone in a world where you felt alone.

"Oh my lord, please don't," Ari mutters, bringing a hand to shield her face as if she can preemptively stop such a thing from happening. "I don't want him thinkin' I'm weirdly oglin' him or nothin'..."

Ari's not surprised to be corrected, though she can't help but crack a small smile at the way he talks about him.

"Oh- no, th' one here, darlin'. I think if I got stuck in ice back home, I'd file a complaint directly with management." Her finger points skyward as she says 'management', wiggling it a bit for emphasis.

"Though... why'd ya sound so excited about that? Can't imagine it'd be fun-?"

[sxnburst]

"mm, more or less." What is that supposed to mean? Is he pulling Wang Yi's leg with that comment? "Looks like someone's gotten shorter, but I did get taller for sure." A lot had happened and he's not quite sure why his size even changed. Must be all the stress (even though it doesn't work like that.)

"I have plenty of hair tips if you ever need 'em." Though knowing Nicolette, she probably has a plethora of tips on how nice her hair is!

"...."

"We missed you."

Something else could be the posture, the air, or the lightness to his steps. Wang Yi knows enough to get he's different, but even he can't tell after a decade of living in this body.

"So it is you. Sun."

"Thanks, but combing it can be a pain. Did you get taller?" More like I got shorter, I think?

Conversation clicks into place like always as he settles his self between the cracks. This was, at least, familiar.

[sxnburst]

Wang Yi's voice pulls Sun right out of his thoughts. His tail curls upward and his head turns to look over his shoulder. Sure enough, as expected, is the familiar man. Though, he's changed. Not much physically, aside from the hair length, but something else.

"Like what you did to your hair, Wang Yi."

@nobully "There's much to catch up on."

💭 + nezha 💭 + mary sue

Send 💭 + a topic and my muse will tell you what they think about it. @kleinstar

nezha

"??? Eiden, are you oogle-eyeing Nezha? You might get lucky, but he's difficult. Like the final boss or something in a game." Oh right, Eiden isn't asking about that probably. "Believe it or not, we weren't friends at the beginning. I'd say we were enemies to rivals and then suddenly Nezha became my closest friend. There's.....A lot of guilt in me for what I've done and what I continued to do after. I'm making up for it, but how do you make up for such a large crime? How do I repay for such a large sacrifice? A price he paid for my wrong?"

mary sue

"Mary Sue didn't remember me. The last time she was here, she didn't remember who I was, but I think that's for the best. It was for her own protection and she did it because, well, you know how I was back then. I hurt her and Mary Sue was the most important person in my life and I treated her like...." There's so much guilt. So much of it.

"Did you know that she wanted love? The kind that only looked at her and loved her and Mary Sue was deserving of all of it. Something I couldn't give her. But....she'd always give me something. Anything I ever wanted." And he couldn't give her the one thing she wanted.

💭 + freedom, duty, memory

Send 💭 + a topic and my muse will tell you what they think about it. @ringlorn

freedom

"You know how much freedom is important to me. my journey was for the promise of freedom and even when I lost my memory and lived in that hellhole, freedom was what I craved even if I wasn't sure exactly what that meant. It's still something I look for. Even here where I can practically do anything I want. I have freedom, but not in the way I want 100%. Does that make sense?"

duty

"There's always going to be some sense of duty for me, I think. the need to do right in everything I do and a lot of the time it didn't matter HOW I achieved it as long as it was right." He's definitely been working on that. Learning that that kind of method wasn't correct was a learning experience.

memory

To admit this to Nezha or not is difficult. Still, the man asked and the man will receive an answer. Sun exhales and lowers his head, closing his eyes. "I get scared that I might lose everything again. A lot of it came to me at once and then some more after, but I don't think it was the heavens doing. I think it was the Stars doing or something. At both times, it was a different period during my time here. I don't know...I guess if memories could have been brought back to me, they could be taken back...That's what I fear. I don't want to lose them again." He's come too far. He couldn't forget everyone again.

People of type Three are very ambitious, efficient, and goal-driven. That’s because their personality is built on the belief that you are only valuable if you’re the best at everything you do. They work hard to earn the love and admiration of others. To do that, they have become good at turning off their emotions to get the job done and power through. But sooner or later, they struggle with having a clear picture of who they are apart from their achievements.

The positive can-do attitude of type Three is often tremendously inspiring. Their effortless charm makes them incredibly persuasive. People of this type inspire you to be more, to do more, to dream bigger.

"Ah...no treats for me."

He's kidding once more.

[sxnburst]

"I wonder if he brought any treats." He's kidding.

There were no pictures of Nezha and himself considering where they came from and then what happened on Earth. There hadn't been a chance to take any pictures, so...maybe having a picture with him would be nice? It'd be the first.

He doesn't get a word in when Nezha pulls him along toward some pink tulips. "They match. Your hair and all that," he says with a smirk. "Here, let me take a picture." He pulls out his phone and aims it toward Nezha.

"This place with all its flowers, kind of reminds me of back home."

"Don't you just mean a picture with me?" Nezha jokes. Come to think of it, he hadn't checked if the host had a pond. It was probably too early in the season for lotuses, anyways.

Clearing his throat, he sees some pink tulips and grabs Sun's wrist to drag him that way.

"Sure, these seem good."

Whatever the case, it was good that Sun had made friends while he was here. Anything was better than the crap he went through back home. Heck, had Sun even seen flowers there?

[sxnburst]

Sun chuckles and shakes his head. Honestly, the moment Nezha has all his arms, the moment Sun is going to have A time. "yeah, I guess the old age is catching up to you too," he teases playfully.

"Let's go get you something to drink."

And Sun knows just the place. He'll lead them there and enjoy some nice refreshments with his friend!

Sometimes Sun changes so quickly it makes him dizzy, especially when it's been years since the guy's had free use of his powers.

"You'd better not," he mock-threatens. "I can't grow back limbs as well as I used to right now."

All that aside, he's freely reaching out to tousle Sun's hair while taking full advantage of their different heights.

"Chasing after you made me thirsty. You wanna grab some drinks?"
