((ahh, sorry. my fault. i thought you only bolded words for emphasis..)) Mutatsu flinched and looked away. "Ahh, I'm sorry.." He took a deep breath before straightening himself up. "You see... um.. I lived by some.. harsh.. rules... one of them was to never make eye contact as it was disrespectful.. I apologize for not making this clear..."

Xaphy smiled up at the man. "You don't need to do that here," he giggled. "Here, everyone is equal - " he looked down at his feet remembering the incident that had just happened. "Well...almost everyone. I guess us weirdos just have to stick together, yeah?"
Sometimes he wished he wasn't so cheerful all the time. He felt like no one could take him seriously, but he never really had an occasion where someone actually HAD to take him seriously. He dismissed the thought ans smiled up at Mutatsu.
"Whatcha doing today, mister?"

[[ BOLD IS FOR SQUARES ]] As Xaphy flew from his arms, Zhou stumbled to catch him, but in the end, was unsuccessful. "Should you uh... be flying? -_- " Zhou didnt like that He was just cozying up to strangers like he'd known them forever... Strangers are dangerous! The could try to attack you, or lure you with candy back to their giant windowless white vans... "Xaph... We should find Raien. Im getting worried..." Zhou whispered... He knew Raien could take careof himself, but Zhou, who had ultimately taken the job of his caretaker, needed to keep tabs on him always. In fact, He knew he was in the market. He had to be! Zhou asked him to, and therefore he should be... A simple phone call would have solved the whole problem, but NOOOO~ ...They never actually have candy when you get to the vans...

(LOOOL XDD ILU)
Xaphy glanced back at Zhou. He had to give the man credit for being cautious. Perhaps the dragon was far too trusting. He was glad Zhou was his friend for that. He had gotten into a lot of trouble by being far too trusting.
"Jojo, it's ok," he smiled at the man. "Mister Mutu doesn't mean any harm. He won't even look at people. How can someone so humble possibly want to hurt me?"

"There's a fine fine line between Humble and crazy... he DID Try to appologize for something he didn't do... A normal person would have denied it..."
Zhou could finally cross his arms without worrying about the little dragon... It felt good to be stubborn. He turned his attention, as thin and irratic as one's could be, to Mutatsu.
"MY Name is Zhou.... You dont need to know much else."

"Nothing, really.. Just watching the days go by.." Mutatsu answered, then stopped to listen to Zhou and Xaphy converse. When he was sure they were finished, he spoke up again. "Pardon me, may I ask who... Raien is..?"

"Uh... How exaclty would you describe our relationship... He's my best friend... MY Partner in work, My Room-mate, My bodygaurd- like i need one- and ... the man i love more than Life? This is why i need to find him, becuase I'm worried the same thing that happened to Xaph will... happen to him."
Zhou's face sagged; he really was worried... but, to be honest, no one in the entire crescent could do to raien what they did to Xaph... He's too big!
He finally took the time to look this mutatsu fellow up anddown. He had noticed the ghost flame before, but hadnt put enoughthought into warnimg him about it. POintng to the wisp, he said, "You should probably hide that... People with things that" float behind them are usualyl mistreated around here.

"Yes.. I know.." Mutatsu cradled Myon in his hands. "I've been homeless for three years, and it certainly has been rough. It has been since my life started..." He recalled the memories of this lifetime. "I... was abandoned by my biological family, and taken in by another... Even then, life has not been any better. I had to be kept inside the house... and people would just come by and throw bricks and anything they can find.." He sighed. "it's been hard."

Xaphy looked at the two conversing men. He certainly knew how Mutatsu felt. He'd never known his parents. He was also curious about he thing he called "myon." He wanted to ask Muta so many questions, but he didn't want to interrupt.
He also hated seeing his friend so worried. He opend his mouth to tell Zhou he had seen Raien, but closed it again, thinking otherwise. Raien had contacted the man already...hadn't he?

"I hate to sound rude... But seriously, Grow a spine, and maybe a few balls. The whole Homeless thing is completely fixable, And I, personally, dont have any compassion for the homeless. With the prospectors market the way it is, theres NO REason AT ALL Why they cant live like fat rats. Leave the comfort of Crescent and Adventure..."
Zhou didnt mean to bluntly state 'its homeless, and its your fault' but in reality.... He was right. Why couldnt Mutatsu go out and take control?
"What are you doing tomorrow..."

Mutatsu flinched. "I apologize. Nobody really wanted a man with a detached soul to work for them." He said, then he went onto Zhou's question. "...Nothing really.."

"That makes no sense! The souless make the best workers. " Zhou joked... It wasnt funny though >.>
"Be at the gate by 12. Were fixing this... mess."

(LOOOOL)
Xaphy watched the two men talking, still saying nothing. He really wasn't sure what to say.
He diecided he'd better tell Zhou. It seemed he didn't actually know where Raien was.
"Um...JoJo? I was just with Raien..." he said meekly. "We were in the park. I'm not sure where he went after that, but he told me that you two were going on a dig later..."

"Yeah, Tomorrow."
Zhou wasnt sure if what he said before made sense, so he thought he'd ebtter explain better.
"Tomorrow morning we leave for a few days in the east quarter. I have information about the whereabouts of a Indigo quarry, and We're going to get in there before the scrubs get to it. By scrubs, I mean the innexperienced, greedy, bastards who clean ou tthe mines, and dont respect the natural order of things..."
After a few huffs and puffs, and some kicks in the dirt, Zhou grumbled, "I better get home... I dont care you show up tomorrow or not, but Its for the best..."
And with that, He walked off.
[[ See you guys at the gate. When the threads up, I'll let you guys know ]]

Mutatsu listened intently and nodded. "Okay... I'll come with you then.... I'll see you tomorrow." Mutatsu bowed one more time before Zhou left as a sign of respect and watched him leave. "...I'll be here anyways....."
