Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34163681-20180113172051/@comment-5374090-20180113203107

cuietly i open my poich. quietly i remove a pale gray mushroom i had found earlier, and, slipping from hiding i offer it to her. though when she has trouble getting it to her mouth on her own, i gently help, smiling at the woman as i feed her the mushroom i know she will find a treat.

she seems to relax at my hospitality, and i play her a song of our friendship, her bells trill and acompany my instrument, and after a few more songs wer are greeted by more company. a male from my home village, I know he's not going to like seeing me out here cavorting with the dead. but a plan hatches in my head.

bidding the jiangshi to stay back i go out and greet the man from my vilage, quietly adjusting myself to apear more the shrine maiden i know i should be. "Sorry did my playing disturb your travels?" he tells me things i don't care to hear or listen to, though i listen patiently. and give him kind words.

after earning his trust i offer him some of the meal i was having. He accepts and i present the cloth wrapped mushrooms to him. there is mischief in my eyes clearly at this point, but, he doesn't see it as he takes his first bite, and i lead him back to where i was sittng, and introduce him to his new wife.
