Oh, I wouldn’t call this breaking in, [ He said with a laugh. He had not paid. Cover fees were highway robbery, anyway, as far as he was concerned. He reaches for a shot and knocks it back - someone inexpertly, though he tries to look cool. ]
But I did spend some time in the Rosedale vault. If you could really call it a vault. You think with that much money they’d be able to afford better protection spells. Can’t say it was that interesting, though, turns out a lot of their magic is based around illusions, and not even super unique ones. So I suspect any of their really complex stuff is probably held by indivuals rather than the sect as a whole.
[ He reached for a second shot, but just sort of tapped his fingers around the glass before looking at her. ]
Did I get you in a lot of trouble?

[ He reached for a second shot, but just sort of tapped his fingers around the glass before looking at her. ]
Did I get you in a lot of trouble?
Nah. Once I told them it was you and showed them your sleeve, they pretty much forgot about me and got into emergency planning more to reinforce the wards and maze arrays around the place. My brother did freak out a bit, but only because he wanted to be sure I was okay. Like he expected you to have attacked me, or something.
[Her brother can be a little irrational sometimes when it comes to her and her safety.]
So you really had nothing better to do tonight than come say hello to the girl who found you with your hand in the spirit jar a month ago?
[Her brother can be a little irrational sometimes when it comes to her and her safety.]

[ He chuckled. ] Seems my rep is still intact, then. I have literally never once hurt anyone, but that seems to be a pretty pervasive part of the myth. Maybe it’s so that people save face, I don’t know.
[ He flashed her a grin. ] You say that like it’s a waste of time to pay my debts, [ He teased. ] Pretty sure I owe you at least one decent night out. And I said I would, didn’t I?
[ He leaned back, smiling amusedly as he looked around the club. ]
Besides, crowded places like this are always a good way to show off. Should I show you something fun? Pick an animal.

[She knocks back another shot, and then looks him up and down for a few seconds.]
I'm not gonna say you look like you wouldn't hurt a fly... more like you would hurt the fly, but then you'd feel really bad for the fly afterwards. and it's true that from the rumors I'd have expected you to be more.... I don't know. They always make you out to be this spooky, really dangerous guy.
['Really dangerous' she can believe. he'd have to be to get into the sword shrine and stay in undetected as long a she did. But mostly, he just looked like a kid her age who had too much power and time on his hands.]
Heh? Show off? Why do I need to choose an animal? A boar, I guess?
[.... Well, she is a Nie, after all, so hope you were not expecting her to choose something cute like a bunny or a bird, Fox.]

Well, better for them to think that than to think I’m a horrible nerd, [ He said with a laugh. ] People are always afraid of what they don’t understand, and are happy to other you as quickly as possible. You think my rep would protect me if they knew who I actually was? At least this way most people leave me alone.
[ He was smiling as he said it, though, warm and amused, as he pulled his shot closer toward him. Instead of drinking it, though, he dipped two fingers into the alcohol and then started tracing symbols on the table. ]
A boar, huh. Not quite as flashy as a tiger or a dragon, but it’ll do. Don’t turn to look behind you until you hear other people make noise - don’t want to project that you know what’s coming.
[ He grinned, and then started to murmur to himself as he drew, wetting his fingers a couple more times. Finally he completed it, leaned in to blow across the liquid, offering a first breath, and—
A second later there were shocked gasps from the dance floor, everyone quickly moving out of the way of the large, pale spectral boar that had appeared there. It raised its head, snorted soundlessly and waved its tusks before it started to charge around the room. People scrambled to get out of the way, but even when they couldn’t, the boar just passed through them like it wasn’t there, continuing on it’s stampede. ]

I don't even know what you need to protect yourself from. The way the Elders talk about you, you'd think you're the boogeyman or something.
[There is a lot of 'information' floating around about Fox. Huaisang knows better than to believe most of it, and meeting him, she can see she wasn't wrong.
She watches the drawing with curiosity and follows his instructions not to turn around right away, and then when she does she laughs at the panic around, emptying another shot.
And then smiling at him.]
That's cute. But I hope that's not how you show off normally. Even I know how to do something like that and everyone knows I suck at almost everything.
Your cloaking spells are a lot more impressive. I wish I could make mine half as good as yours.
... Does it make a difference, drawing those with alcohol?
[She works mostly with traditional ink, even if she's dabbled in other things, and she knows that in an emergency, a sharpie works just fine. But it's interesting to see, and his rune work is unlike anything she's ever seen.]
You create your own stuff almost from scratch, don't you? I wish I could do that too.

Well, maybe I am, in a sort of way. I’m definitely a threat to their worldview, if nothing else.
[ He chuckled, then ran his fingers through the array. The boar instantly turned into a fox, who did one jump and then disappeared - his signature. Everyone burst into chatter and Fox looked amused and pleased with himself.
Small pleasures. ]
Yes, well, cloaking spells unfortunately don’t make for a good public show. I just like reminding people I exist, sometime. Though I’d be up for seeing yours - most people aren’t very good at illusion magic, you know. It requires a good imagination. But I’m really not surprised that you fit that description.
[ He took the rest of the shot and tipped it back. ]
The alcohol? Not really. It’s about the same material component value, but it leaves less of a trace. No paper to burn.
[ He grinned, and nodded. ] I think I’d get bored following everything by rote. Something tells me that you might understand that.

Yeah, but you know the difference between flashy and impressive, don't you?
[She certainly does. None of what she can do well is flashy by any means, not in the way the Nie sect is used to being flashy. Blade magic is something that requires flashiness almost as a rule. But she sucks at it and she knows it, so she's focused on other areas and just hasn't told anyone who doesn't absolutely need to know.
And as it turns our, illusion magic is one of her strengths. She smiles at him.]
You're already seeing one of mine. I'm wearing one right now.
[After all, why bother buying super expensive make up - although eyeliner can also be great for tracing runes quickly on skin - when you can just glamour your face the way you want it to look?]

Oh really?
[ He grinned and raised his arm, pulling down his sleeve a little to reveal one of his tattoos. When he touched it, it glowed softly, and a second later there was a similar glow in his eyes. ]
Ohh, nice. Glamour make up. Very subtle, I like it.
[ He released his tattoo and his eyes faded back to their normal green. ]
Alright, here, I’ll show you some textile magic. Watch this.
[ He hummed, tracing a couple lines on his sleeve, before slowly the fabric started shimmering and shifting. A moment later, it looked like a completely different shirt, texture, cut and everything. ]

Is that... a way to see through illusion charms? You tattooed it on yourself?
[Most people she knew would use straight qi or a paper talisman... a tattoo seemed a little excessive, unless he expected to have to use that kind of spell a lot.
She watches his next offering with wide eyes, and even wider when she touches the fabric and tests it between her fingers.]
... You actually can go down to the molecular level? That's... super precise.
[She definitely can't do transfiguration on that level.
Of course, whatever spells he's wearing means no one is really paying attention to them, but by now the noise of the club and the throng of people are just a bother, plus she's starting to get hungry.]
Hey, Let's go somewhere else. Grab some food somewhere quieter.

Not just illusion magic, [ He said smugly. This, after all, was a spell of his own design - and one he would probably be chased down for if many people knew. Which was why he was immediately bragging about it to a girl he’d met twice. ] I can see almost all sources of magic, this way. Wards, protection spells, trap spells. It has to be super advanced to be able to go unseen with this.
[ And explained how he managed to get by so many of them. ]
Not quite molecular. It’s still the same material - it won’t change cotton to silk. But weave, colour, that sort of thing is easy enough.
[ He stood up at her suggestion, stretching like a cat. ]
Sure, sounds good to me. Someplace you got in mind?
[ And explained how he managed to get by so many of them. ]

[Her eyes widen again as he explain what the design actually does, and dart down to the tattoo himself and then back up.]
.... Should you really be showing me this? Do you know how many people would kill to get this hands on a spell like that? You're crazy!
[They've literally met twice and the first time was when he was breaking into her family's ancestral shrine and now he's showing her something that would put a target on his head three times over if anyone knew he had it?
Boys really are stupid. In some sort of way, because to tell the truth, if he put on his cloaking spell and left she wouldn't be able to catch him but still!
And she knows no one will be listening in, but it still doesn't feel comfortable talking about this here.]
Let's just find a place with good burgers. I'm hungry.
[And unlike most girls her age, dieting is not in her vocabulary. Maybe she's lucky in terms of metabolism - her brother does lament that she can't seem to bulk up or gain the muscle mass needed for the saber. So when she eats, she eats.
She goes to garb her coat at the entrance and slip out after waving good bye to a few people. Once outside, she sighs and looks up at the night sky, then quickly checks her phone before putting it back in her pocket.]
.... You're lucky I'm not as blade-happy as most of my family, I hope you know that. And that I know I don't even have enough qi to work something so complicated. If i were someone else, they might have already tried to cut off your arm.

[ He activates his cloaking spells and seems to disappear from her side, but when she’s back outside again he is suddenly right beside her, grinning. ]
I wouldn’t talk to anyone else in your family. And even if they took my arm, it wouldn’t do them any good. The enchantment would be broken and there’s a lot more to it than the design, so they wouldn’t be able to replicate it.
If you were ever going to cut off my arm, it would have been when you could just feed my corpse to your shrine and have me disappear off the face of the earth. I think I’m safe.

[Well he's not wrong, except that she could be hiding something or have been playing a long game.]
... I wouldn't have fed your corpse to the shrine, by the way. Then we would have one corpse too many and that would have tipped the balance.
And it's still incredibly intricate magic and you don't even really know me. I still think you're crazy. But whatever.
[She can understand the theory of what he showed her just fine. She wouldn't be able to perfectly replicate it, or even make it work with what she's working with, though. He must have a tremendous amount of power. Between that and the fact that he can maintain some level of cloaking almost at all times... yep, definitely way out of her league power wise.
And also....]
... I don't know how I should take the fact that even random strangers find me nonthreatening. Actually, probably as a compliment. I'd hate for anyone to think i can actually do stuff.
[She'll lead the way down a few streets, watching with interest how people barely seem to register he's here beyond a presence and smiling a bit to herself, because what he does with spell, she occasionally manages to do by just being herself. People frequently forget she is around, but someone like him has too much charisma and power to go unnoticed if he were to reveal himself. He's almost radiating, even with the cloaking.
She choose a smallish place, a mom and pop store that gives big portions and orders for the two of them - and pays too, handing the woman at the til her jade token. And once they're seated, she rests her chin on her hands.]
Did you really come to see me just to say hello and show me a few tricks that I really shouldn't have seen?

There’s a big deference between not being able to do anything and not being a threat to me in particular, [ He pointed out, sliding his hands into his pockets as they walked. ]
I don’t know. You just seemed like someone who it was worth showing it to. If that makes me crazy, then fine. What am I supposed to do when my illusion magic doesn’t impress!
[ He waited while she ordered their food, and slides into the chair opposite her, lounging ias he leaned over the table to grab a fry. ]
I thought we could be friends. [ He says it in the way a six year old might - cheerfully and without guile. ] Why, do you think I have some nefarious scheme afoot? [ He pops the fry in his mouth and then grins. ]
Honestly, I just didn’t have a place to crash tonight, so why not hang out for a few hours?

[She blinks at him while munching on a fry.]
... You don't have anywhere to sleep?
[She ponders a moment.]
You can come to my place if you want to. I don't live at the family compound. I finally managed to convince my brother I needed my own place and some privacy. It's all guys over thee and it's frankly stifling at times. And it helps if I can show i can make it on my own a little.
[She's still expected to go back for her lessons and assemblies and anything related to the Clan, but at least she has her own space.]
You can stay for a few days if you really need a place to rest. I don't mind.

Yeah, I can tell I’m starting to annoy Jade again and she probably needs to get laid, but having a random guy on your couch tends to keep the ladies away. [ He said it easily and without any trace of shame, grabbing another fry. This was, perhaps, part of the reason he was so hard to find: he had no permanent address.
At the offer, he lit up. ]
Yeah? You sure? I can pay you back with a couple enchantments, if that’s okay. I can do just about anything you need, if you’ve got the components.

Yeah, it's fine. I live on my own anyway, and it's not like I have people randomly dropping by a lot.
[Not that the location is secret, her friends know where she lives, but she keeps it private.]
I don't need you to pay me back. Just meeting you and talking with you, that's... probably the most interesting thing that's happened to me lately. Too bad I won't be able to tell anyone.
[Because no one would even believe her.]
Finish your food first. We can buy some drinks on the way back.

"I only care about hearing it from you," Mingyu murmured in return, watching Fox strip every bit as appreciatively as his lover was watching him. Fox was handsome to be sure, but his beauty ran far deeper. To Mingyu, it was in everything. The way he moved, his solid build, how he smiled with his whole body and not just with his lips. The starscape of his freckles, the swooping curves of his tattoos. All of it was uniquely Fox, and Mingyu could not tell if the traits were what endeared him further to Fox, or if Fox was what made those into endearing traits.
Whatever the case, he was certain he'd never tire of this view either.
As Fox finished stripping, brought his arousal to plain view, Mingyu couldn't help but wet his lips in want and anticipation. Much like its owner, Mingyu found Fox's cock to be charming, well-built, and impossible to resist. Before he had a chance to reach out and give it the appreciation it deserved, however, Fox's fingers found Mingyu's cock instead and made him gasp aloud, biting down on his lip briefly to stifle the sound as he strained into the touch, at once desperate for more.
"Mm, I'm not the sun," he protested, trailing fingers down Fox's chest, over his abdomen, teasing just above his groin. "I'm yours, remember? You can't own the sun. But me, I'm all yours."
Palming over Fox's own erection at long last, Mingyu lets out a satisfied sigh at the familiar heat against his palm, stroking him nice and slow.
"—oh, did you pack any of our toys, Huli?" he stopped to ask as the thought occurred to him. He'd meant to ask last night, but Fox hadn't left him with breath enough to speak pretty much the whole time.

"I don't see why you can't be both," he teased, his voice a little lower, a little rougher, letting out a pleased sigh as Mingyu's fingers found his cock. "Mine and the sun. But fine, a star, at least."
He pauses when Mingyu does, and then gives him a bemused grin, leaning down to steal a quick kiss. "What, I'm not enough on my own anymore, huh?" He teased, but it was clear he was pleased. "I've made you that insatiable? Well, I guess lucky for you I did plan ahead. In fact I actually made a couple with new enchantments myself. I edited the control commands so I can set it to either pure thought or finger ta--" He topped mid sentence and then grinned sheepishly as he stole another kiss and then peeled away off the bed.
"Sorry, sorry. Demonstration first, description after."

"Sorry, sorry. Demonstration first, description after."
Mingyu laughed again, bright and happy and full of light. He couldn't help it. Every last thing about Fox only made him fall that much more in love, including and perhaps especially how passionate Fox got about things. There was a fire in him that had long gone out in Mingyu. Had Mingyu ever loved the way Fox did before Fox himself...? He used to find joy in his erhu lessons, liked cooking well enough, but—
It'd never come from anywhere as deep as where Fox seemed to feel all things. So Mingyu watched in quiet wonder as the light of his life got up to fetch their bag of toys, turning on his side, face half snuggled into a pillow to better watch Fox with.
He truly was the luckiest man alive.
"Have you been working on them in secret?" he mused, a playful pout upon his lips. "Why wasn't I invited for the testing?"

“Because they were a surprise for our special weekend,” he said, naked as the day he was born as he strode across the room and grabbed the bag. “Keep touching yourself, I’m only paused under duress.”
He brought it back to the bed and started pulling them out, each indivially wrapped before he took those off too.
Two dildos, a plug with a cute little tail on it, a few vibrators with cords, as well as a cock ring that almost looked like it was made of jade.
“The question is how cruel I should be,” he wondered aloud, picking up the cockring and then looking at Mingyu with a mischievous glint to his eye. “We do actually have places to be, today, but...”

The prompt to touch himself made Mingyu flush hotly, but he dutifully trailed a hand over his thigh all the same, giving himself a few delicate strokes as he kept an eye on the items Fox produced from the bag. He liked to give Fox a bit of a show, but since Fox's attention wasn't on him at the moment he kept his touch light and leisurely, just enough to be following instruction but not wasting any real effort on himself while Fox was distracted.
At the question, he looked up at Fox, arching an eyebrow at the phrasing.
"Huli, please. As though you have a single cruel bone in your body," he mused, eyeing the pretty ring with nothing short of hunger, casting the briefest glance at the wall clock.
"I'll bet you that if I beg prettily enough, we'll still be showered, done eating, and out of here by eleven."

“I’m sure I could find it in me to be a little bit cruel,” he replied with a grin, flipping the ring around his fingers before giving Mingyu a wink and bringing it to his lips. He gave it a brush of a kiss, and glowing characters flared to life on it right before it started rumbling with a low vibration.
He blew Mingyu a kiss and it stopped.
“But I have to admit, I do find it very hard to resist when you beg.”
He dragged the toys with him as he crawled onto the bed, planting kisses on Mingyu’s knee and then tracing them up his inner thigh. He tapped the ring with a finger and it expanded ever so slightly before he put it between his lips. With no more warning than that, he slipped the ring over the head of Mingyu’s cock with his mouth, and then lowered himself, pushing it down to the base with his lips wrapped around Mingyu’s cock. Once there, he tapped it again and it constricted as he ran his tongue cheekily up the length of Mingyu’s cock and then sat back up, wetting his lips.
“But you know that sounds like a challenge, right? Aren’t you worried about challenging me?” He reached for the plug.

Magic held no particular interest to Mingyu, or at least— That was a previously uncontested truth in his life, but now Fox did things like that with magic, effortless as anything. With the usual Fox flourish, kissing the damn thing to activate it, blowing a kiss to stop it when Mingyu was pretty sure he'd just said it was just as capable of being thought-controlled.
Fox was every bit the showman Mingyu was, just in a completely different way.
Before Mingyu could even finish absorbing the nature of the magic Fox had imbued the ring with, Fox was upon him and chased away all ability for higher thought. He gasped openly as Fox's mouth followed the cold surface of the ring, its icy slide sharpening the heat of Fox's tongue, overwhelming sensation crashing through him. He choked a little on his breath, whimpering, bringing a hand up to muffle the sound.
"Fuck—" Mingyu rarely swore, his immaculate TV persona too well trained into him, but Fox had a way of unraveling that too, and Mingyu could only lay there panting, already feeling outpaced. "That's— That's how we're doing this, Huli?"
If there wasn't a challenge in Mingyu's voice before, there was now, propping himself up on his elbows to level Fox with his gaze.
"You wanna add some stakes?"
