[Video] 🌙 if you can't see the sky there's too much artificial light

[Koumyou turns the camera on with a smile. The sun is briefly too bright behind him, until he adjusts how he's holding the phone.]

Hm, I suppose it's safe for me to make one of these videos now, right?

Let's see, here.

[He turns the phone around and shows a small and pretty edo-style building. The shrine has an outdoor bell which can be rung to pay homage to the spirits and/or make a wish. Behind it, there's some kind of garden or park with cherry and maples trees' leaves blowing in the breeze.]

I'm told this is on... ah, Thistle Avenue and 8th Street, of the main city. I am its... caretaker, now? Anyway, make use of it if you wish. I've cleaned up most of the mess left behind. Ah--

[The camera pans down quickly to show a Silvanshee from the recent ruins exploration. It butts its forehead against Koumyou's shin, through his pristine white robes.]

Be careful of Mr. Wiggles if you visit. She can be a little territorial! She accepts opened cans of fish as tribute.

[Yes, there's a demon cat living at the shrine. W H E L P . That's what they get for putting Koumyou in charge.]

Oh, and before I forget! Again...

[He pans the camera back up to himself with another smile, his brown eyes barely open.]

I am priest Koumyou Sanzo. It's nice to meet you all.

Koumyou noticed that fleeting little smile and his own simply intensified. To his Empathic son, the level of affection coming off Koumyou had to feel like a heat wave.

"It's good, isn't it?" Room temperature and kept under the floorboards for possibly days, but sake really took on a different quality when shared with the right person!

"Yes." Before Koumyou had reappeared, Sanzo would have thought, to himself only, that water would be delicious if shared with his master. He wasn't sure if his opinion on that changed. Probably not.

Sanzo felt surprisingly calm, peaceful, despite the lurking cat, somewhere. It was good to see Koumyou again, it was better to see him smile like that.

Koumyou beamed and was content to just drink with his son. There were a lot of things he needed to ask the younger Sanzo... a lot of painful things...

They could wait for another time.
