All right, that's all I'm asking XD Definitely keep posting pictures of the birds you see, though, they're really cute. [And Huaisang is adorable when he gets a little encouragement but shhhh, nobody needs to hear that said out loud.]

[fanfavors]

[Well Shen Yuan, guess what!!

It's another bird picture. Has he been wandering around looking at birds actively, this whole time...? Who can say.]

This Huaisang has mastered the magnifying 'slide,' so you see, I'll be fine!

[xiaoxiuya]

[So fucking adorable ;.; Huaisang has a headpat coming next time he and Shen Yuan see each other, just on basic principles]

I see, I see! Well done ^_^ And what kind of bird is that, does A-Sang know? It's very cute regardless <3

[fanfavors]

Ah, I think it looks like a finch, like my caomeimei! But not a type I've seen before.

[And, like, not as cute as caomeimei, but that's a given.]

[xiaoxiuya]

[Watch out, Shen Yuan is about to be very helpful [/s]]

It's probably a North American species, given where we are. A-Sang might be able to find some books to help with identification in the library, if he's interested.

[fanfavors]

[Hold on, hold on!!]

Ah, you know where we are? It isn't a monster realm?

[like. there are monsters. a building tried to kill him. how is this not a cursed realm.]

[xiaoxiuya]

[Oh, right.]

This one has formed the impression that this world used to be very similar to the one in which he grew up, before the Pthumerians arrived and changed things. Based on some of the maps I've found in the library, I think Trench is on the eastern coast of what used to be the North American continent, but I couldn't say anything with more accuracy than that. Even if it is like my homeworld, I grew up in China, on the other side of the world. And we didn't have monsters or buildings that moved under their own volition like this, either.

[fanfavors]

Shen-ge, nothing about the North American continent means anything at all to this one, just so Shen-ge is aware.

I believe you!! But it sounds like figuring it out is more trouble than it's worth.

[what the fuck happens in north america]

[xiaoxiuya]

...

I just realized I have absolutely no goddamn idea what the world map even looked like in your world.

Like...please tell me "the middle kingdom" or "the central plains" means something to you, at least?

[fanfavors]

I've seen maps.

[All China-centric, naturally, so yeah, he could find Qinghe on a world map. Maybe even some other things. But not a North America.]

Does it matter if this one knows nothing about the North American continent?

[xiaoxiuya]

Of course it doesn't matter [He'll love you no matter how much you suck at geography, Huaisang!] but it does mean I've been running off at the mouth without establishing a common baseline of knowledge. No wonder A-Sang's been so confused :(

[fanfavors]

[Okay, okay. Hang on. Terrible, that he must drag the emotional maturity out from where it is usually buried, but buddy.]

Not everything is Shen-ge's responsibility. You worry too much about small things, you know!

[xiaoxiuya]

Do I? XD; But you never know when one of those small things might be important...

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take things a little more slowly than I have been, though.

[fanfavors]

[absolutely never will maps be important to daily life--]

You do, you do. You need to relax! Come drink with me at the Red!

[xiaoxiuya]

...You know what? I think I'd like that. When would A-Sang like to meet?

[fanfavors]

Ah, wonderful!! Anytime, anytime Shen-ge would like! They will let this one have a private room whenever he asks. I'll host Shen-ge for an afternoon, like a banquet between friends!

[Please, he hasn't planned a party in eons.]
