Tsuifan Hurin
Beach
Tagging: Elune / Anna (Youkai), Fae (rogue-rider), Shoolurel (Sashanna)Anna was still acting strangely, despite the lack of fever and her apparently returning energy. She was moving fast between Tsuifan and Shoolurel, as if determined to resolve everyone's issues and generally be there for everyone at once. Her devotion to this job really was something else. Though it was strange to see how calmly Anna reacted to Shoolurel's very strange attempts at communication. Using the orb as an apparent translator, she named her swimsuit as
"Jewelry?" Which of course, Tsuifan first assumed was some type of error in the translation. At least, until she began to tie that bikini bottom around her neck.....
Tsuifan practically fell over at the sight. And she might have then hopped over to help out, but with Anna around it seemed like the semi-nudist was already in good hands. Not so certain was the fate of the mer-girl, however, with the dangerous company that she seemed to so enjoy. So Tsuifan hurried over to the bar.
The trademarked Tsui-pan love sign was returned; this really
was a true fan! Tsuifan giggled a light
"Wuhuhu!" at the way Fae struggled to pull it off. Clearly this cutie was a little too flustered by
the Tsuifan Hurin's presence for her fingers not to fumble. Rather than correct her fan's fumbling form, of course, the longtime celebrity Tsuifan kept her at ease with a charming smile and a double-pat on the arm. She didn't even consider that those pats might be too presuming, though she hoped the physical contact wouldn't overexcite her dear fan...
The magical shapeshifter was understandably a little put out, when warned to be cautious of her mechanical friends. Still Tsuifan insisted
"they act like adorable dummies now. But with one flip of a switch, those dummies can cause some disasters...trust me, I've seen it before." The more immediate problem, of course, was the potentially demonic bombshell hanging around the corner. And fast approaching them...with a hushed warning about her, Tsuifan hoped that her precious fan would have the good sense to stay wary. And that hope would be immediately dashed, as Fae so carelessly blurted her response.
"so avoid people with red eyes huh!" Fae much-too-loudly exclaimed, just as Elune came back to their table. Whether or not Elune was actually paying attention to those words (she really wasn't), one had to assume she would've heard that...
"Grk-! ...Errrrr...I didn't mean that exactly..." Tsuifan awkwardly scratched her cheek, avoiding eye contact with both Fae and Elune.
"I've just heard some rumors that demons have bright red eyes. Eyes just like yours, Miss...Elune, you said?" Of course, it would be rude not to introduce herself at that point. Or not to look Elune in the eye, which Tsuifan eventually found the bravery to do.
"Call me Tsuifan. And I really wasn't saying that to scare her away from you...um. From anyone with red eyes, I mean. Even if you are a demon, wuheh, it's not like that's the same as saying you're a monster. Right? I mean, sure, a lot of demons are obviously doing horrible stuff. But I know at least a few of them stay on the right side of the law...and the truth is, I actually came to Auralis just so I'd have a chance to challenge one." It was true, though since that time Tsuifan had been taught some humility by her Mistress. She knew, thanks to Mistress Serpis, that she wasn't remotely ready for a contest with a demon...at least, not
before she began her training. Now she felt like she could take on a whole army of demons! And she might've been closer than she thought to her chance, at least to challenge one particular demon. If not in the way she was imagining.
"Did you say 'singing?' Singing to share your feelings, like in...!!" Just like in Tsui-pan's Pandamonium Hour! Season 3, episode 29: "Do-Over With Emotion!" After being poisoned by the seven dischordal bamboos, Tsui-pan and her Pandamonium Pals had no choice but to sing through the whole episode!
I really acted my heart out for that one. Still makes me cry to think back on some of those songs! As Tsuifan suspected, her fan was truly a woman of culture. Someone who appreciated the message she was trying to send, in that most experimental of episodes!
"Wuhuhuh! Singing is the language of the heart, isn't it?" While Tsuifan proudly nodded and reminisced about her puppet show, Fae noticed that Shoolurel was still struggling with that bikini bottom. At least with Anna's help, she
almost had it in the right place...much too polite to keep staring at Shoolurel, however (or any woman in the process of getting dressed), Tsuifan once again scratched at her cheek and looked away from that scene. With a slight tinge of red showing up on her cheeks, even the one not being repeatedly scratched.
"I think that Anna's got it covered, she should be okay...so the two of you aren't friends? I thought I saw you waving to each other out by the water. Which reminds me, how did you change your whole body like that? Is it some kind of spell? Or one of those hidden chakra type deals?" As a martial artist, Tsuifan had met her fair share of experts on manipulating the human body's hidden energies. Not that any approach to it ever made much sense to Tsuifan; as a fighter who relied on her good old-fashioned muscles and instincts. But if moving your
Qi or whatever could change a person's whole body shape, then maybe that would be worth looking more into...
