[OPEN] A good boy doing good things.
Who: Lan Xichen and YOU??
When: throughout the month
Where: around the city and into the edge of the Wilde, wherever
What: catch-all for quests and general shenanigans
Warnings: none so far
I. Harbor negotiations (Hazard at the Harbor quest)
[When Lan Xichen hears about the trouble in the factories, he has to go investigate. The possibility of children using the machinery as a playground concerns him, and if the orphans are really in need of things to do, they probably need more attention themselves. So one evening he is staking out a factory. Maybe you went with him or maybe you are on the job alone, but when you arrive, you find a cultivator doing a rather poor job of hiding--in that he isn't hiding at all. He's out in the open, waiting to see what children are out making mischief at the wrong hours.]
Ah, hello. Where you investigating as well?
II. Chasing wormies (Cavern Cowboys quest)
[Visiting the underground caverns again is more pleasant each time he goes. Xichen is happy to help the city with their living, and hunting for escaped worms is something similar to his hunts from the past. He feels useful as well, tracking the prints left behind by the many legs. He's worried about the cavern predators or nomads hurting them, focused on keeping them safe. Any fellow adventurers on the quest are treated to a more serious Lan Xichen, who for once is all concentration.]
I think they must be close. This trail is fresh.
III. Magic training
[If anyone happens to find the spot out at the edge of Aefenglom that Xichen has claimed for himself, they will find the former cultivator there practicing with his flute, casting spells that move wind and water. After some time, he even begins to manifest flames, shooting small bursts out in front of him as he gets better at it. Sometimes there is a little flying squirrel wearing a tiny headband perched on his shoulder, apparently listening to the songs he plays as he casts his spells.
Other times, he goes through sword movements. With his blade drawn, he does show a good amount of control, channeling magic into the edge as well so it shines as it cuts the air. Between sessions, he sits cross-legged and meditating, recovering his magic and renewing his focus for the next bout. It's been some time since he's been comfortable enough to try real sparring, but these days he might be willing to give it a try again. When someone approaches, he either opens his eyes or stops what he's doing to greet the new company.]
Ah, you've come out far. Are you looking to train as well?
IV. Trying something new
[For some visitors of the forge, sometimes Lan Xichen is out in front. When he's not actually learning blacksmithing from Percy, he's lifting materials and moving them around. It's both exercise and to keep the open yard clean, doing his best to make things look orderly despite the boys' attempts to maintain their personal messes. These days he's wearing a surprisingly white set of clothes adorned with cloud motifs. The outfit might not seem practical for labor, but he manages to keep it clean somehow. Even when he hoists larger barrels or pieces of scrap around to organize them. Once he has a relatively clear space, he chooses a nice pole and sets it down on the ground in the middle of it. Focusing on that, he starts a new spell he's been working on--levitation--and very slowly begins to lift it off of the ground.]
[ooc: I'm open for any other adventures or random meetings as well! Toss me a prompt if you just have an idea you'd like and I can have Xichen run into it, or you can also plot with me at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
