Dragon Spirit

[valuesfeelings]

[ This wasn't the Douluo Continent but that didn't stop him from taking note of the slight pressure wrapping around his wrist. He wondered, honestly, if the dragon was a Spirit Animal. If the animal on his wrist was like the girl that he'd taken to. Could the dragons turn human?

He doesn't believe that the dragon on his wrist will hurt him. He, himself, also wasn't a push over no matter what he looked like. His Blue Silver Plant was pretty powerful on its own. ]

Are you hungry?

[ If someone were to catch him talking to the dragon wrapped around his wrist then he didn't truly care. He's come a long way in his life to let someone judging him bother him.

If whoever was around them was hungry then he'd provide for them too. ]

[ She notices the movement out of the corner of her eye but she knows better than to turn to look. As it is, what she could catch hasn't seemed strange enough for her to think she needs to investigate in particular, so she keeps her vacant gaze just slightly off from in his direction. ]

There's a stall down this way that makes really tasty buns! They're really nice there, too; sometimes they'll give me one if they have leftovers when it's getting late. And there's a restaurant on the other side of the market that smells really good, but I've never been inside... Gege, are you going to get some food for me?

[ If there's any chance that she could score a full meal off this guy, she's absolutely going to give it a shot. ]

[ He almost wondered how long she'd keep the ruse up. Though, it does throw him off a bit when she calls him Gege. He's only ever had a few others call him that, one in particular that he saw as a little sister. So it was interesting to hear a stranger call him that.

He listens to her as she mentions the stall and then the restaurant. ]

Let's head to the restaurant on the other side of the market and I'll get us both some food.

[ Wait, this is working? This is almost suspiciously easy, but she's going to go along with it until something goes sideways. No use in passing up an easy meal if he's going to be generous. Maybe he's rich and it's no big deal to just pay for extra food? If it turns out he's trying to trick her, she can always turn it around and get him in trouble instead.

But for now she's playing innocent and naive, so she gives a big smile. ]

Really, gege? Thank you so much! I can take you there, come with me!

[ She doesn't entirely trust him not to try to run off on her, so she reaches out towards him and pretends to fumble as she feels for his hand or arm, coincidentally the one that the dragon is wrapped around. If she has a hold on him, she has an excuse for noticing if he tries to lose her in the market's crowd. ]

[ He doesn't mind the big smile but he doesn't believe her to be innocent and naive in the least. He does, however, watch her. When she goes to grab his hand he moves enough so she grabs his arm instead. After all, she didn't need to grab a hold of the dragon.

Though, he wasn't someone who would just disappear on someone either. Not that she actively knew that. ]

Really, I don't mind taking you there.

[ Tang San will let her lead him toward the restaurant but he's going to keep an eye on her too. ]

[ Once she makes contact with his arm, A-Qing shifts her hand a bit to get a good grip, still holding his arm in the place he made easy for her to grab.

Now that she's sure he can't just vanish without notice, she turns towards the market and starts walking in that direction as she taps with her pole. She makes sure to move a bit slower than she normally would: after all, she's not intentionally running into people right now. Instead she keeps up her blind act as she makes her way down the market street, avoiding louder groups as if she's hearing them and weaving between the rest of the people around as she hits her pole into them. Some people turn and start to complain, but she ignores all of them as she continues forwards.

Most of the way through the line of stalls, she pauses for a moment. ]

Ah! Gege, do you smell that? It's that smell! That's the place!

[ She picks up her pace very slightly as she leads him along. A bit of a ways down the street is a large building painted a bright red that exudes the wafting scent of cooked meat and fragrant spices. ]
