Alright.

I'm not dead.

Tis to say I've been a mite bit busy as of late, and I hope none of ye have managed to set anything on fire while I've been in.

[Being very sick]

And sayin' it now, I'll be in for the rest of the winter, none of ye are to ask me to leave the shop for any other reason than to buy food, because I ain't goin'.

It's colder than the frozen center of hell out there and it's only going to get worse.

We're havin' a sale on preventative herbs. Things for sniffles, sore throats, stuffed heads and bad lungs. Get them while ye can because I sure as bloody blazes ain't savin' 'em for ye.

I'll trade some items for soup products by the way. Still feelin' a mite bit under the weather.

And here I thought you finally choked on one of your crows...

[Does Yukimura need ANY introduction at this point. He's all scowls and sass today, priest. Careful.]

Do you plan to stay within your shack all winter?

Re: Video

[feckinboomstick]

I've been livin' off crow meat for a month, beastie, probably the only thing keepin' me on this planet.

And yes.

Yes I do.

There's not a thing ye can do of it, tis my house and I'm livin' in it regardless of what ye think.

Re: Video

[tsukihito]

How much do I want to bet that your fondness for bushmeat will get you killed?

[He scoffs.]

Expect my arrival today with proper food and medicine.

Re: Video

[feckinboomstick]

Haven't died yet, I've got quite a streak of that goin' now. Don't jinx me.

I don't need any feckin' medicine right now, I'll be fine.

Re: Video

[tsukihito]

Of course you don't. You sound so convincing.

[The Fox deity grumbles as he prepares his satchel. For once, he's actually indoors. Yukimura has taken up shelter somewhere in Fayren and his little home looks relatively nice.

The floors were made out of cherry wood giving it a slight reddish gleam. Most of the furniture matched with a simplistic old world feel to it. There's a few dim lanterns here and there that create a rather relaxing amber ambiance.

To say the least, it looks better than the shack.]

Do you even have suitable heat there? That old worn down stove looks like death.

Re: Video

[feckinboomstick]

It's warm enough, damnit!

[Meaning probably not, but damn has he saved up a lot of money]


Don't ye go mockin' me house, tis a fine place.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

Y-You aren't feeling very good...?

[There was probably no surprise that he looked pretty worried. It wasn't hard to worry him.]

I-I could try to heat the place u... up? Or... Or bring something warm!

Re: [Video]

[feckinboomstick]

Take a breath, Bracken, tis the time of year for me to get sick.

I'll manage, don't ye start sproutin' gray hair over me.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

Wh-Why do you have to get sick?

Re: [Video]

[feckinboomstick]

Tisn't a requirement, just the way the world works. I get sick in winter, always have.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

Wh-What if you can stay somewhere... Somewhere warm and n-nice for the winter?

Re: [Video]

[feckinboomstick]

Because me shop is over here and somewhere warm and nice costs money.

[He came in the late evening, because he happened to be in the neighborhood in Everglade and he wanted to say hello, since it has been while. they're fellow priests after all, so they're like bruhs. By now, he finished his bounty task of washing the windows for Murky Eye, but all of that windows washing left his hands dry and chaffed, but that can't be seen as he wear gloves.

He came in, entering the door with a chipper tone.]

Hello? Cassian? You're here? I heard you wanted some soup products.

Re: [Action]

[feckinboomstick]

Aye I'm here.

[He looks a bit like a living corpse, but he's there. Gray, tired and worn.]

What do ye want in exchange for this?

[Action]

[02crusnikabel]

[Abel noticed that. Is he very sick?]

Nothing really. It's to pay back for the tea leaves you gave me a while. This is on the house.

[He laid a grocery bag on his front desk. If Cassian inspects, there's enough to last him a week. Abel recently got his paycheck from Murky Eye, and he's happy to share his wealth.]

U-um...are you all right? Do you need to see a doctor?

[Granted Everglade hospitals are perhaps not very technological and up to par as their neighboring cities. Not a good idea.]

Re: [Action]

[feckinboomstick]

I ain't seein' a feckin' doctor, Abel.

[And that was tidily that.]

Rather be dead.

[Action]

[02crusnikabel]

All right, fine.

[He won't push. But still, from Abel's point of view, he looks rather ashen.]

Um...[He wanted to ask. Abel is curious and nosey like that.]

Is there anything else I can do to help?

[Abel has no remarks on his humble store/home. A man's home is his castle.]

Re: [Action]

[feckinboomstick]

[This house is amazing, thanks. It's better than what a priest of his original era could expect]

Ye still lookin' for good teas?

[its_dad_sanzo]

[Not dead? Well, that calls for only one thing!]

Congratulations!

[The blond priest isn't even being a snarky shit about it.]

You know, on not being dead. Mmmmmm... I might be able to bring by some soup, but I've never been there!

Kouryuu? [He turns his head away to talk to someone off-camera.] Do you know how to make soup?

[He turns his attention back to the camera.]

You eat meat, right? Meat's good for you.

[Koumyou has never claimed to be the pinnacle of Buddhism, even if his rank and the raised, bright red chakra on his forehead -- from the Gods themselves -- would suggest otherwise.]

[feckinboomstick]

[Cassian knows very little of Buddhism, he's never wandered too far from the lands of England and Ireland. One would think two thousand years of life would lend itself well to exploration.

You'd be wrong]

Aye, can barely think of a man who doesn't.

I won't be alive for very long if I can't keep this damn house warm.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Me neither.

[Let's face it, even most Buddhists Koumyou knows sneak the stuff anyway. Kouryuu didn't as a kid, but he grew up and learned better.]

Y'need firewood?

[feckinboomstick]

Firewood might be nice, aye. Perhaps a lamp or two more than what I have, since I'm not going to be sleeping for a while.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Very well! I'll send my son over with some supplies once he's done sweeping! And cooking. Make him some soup, would you, Kouryuu?

[That last is said to the person off camera again. There's the distinct cadence of bitching just out of range for the mic to pick up. Koumyou just turns back to the camera and beams, as though everything that comes out of his cranky kid is sunshine and rainbows.]

He'll be over soon!

[feckinboomstick]

I can make me own soup!

[Oh are you ready for dual bitching? HE DOESN'T NEED COMPANY TO MAKE HIM THINGS.]

[reaction][tagging in spirit]

[youfool]

[Admittedly, Ted's tempted to think of Cassian's illness as God's reprimand. It's not that he disliked talking to him, either. Far from it; there's far too few in the world who mock, and even fewer who mock quite as well as he does. It's funny! He almost offers a generic well-wish before holding back.

Rules are rules; no talking allowed but for absolute necessity. The only thing Ted could do for him was pray, which he did most days. Besides, looking at the video responses, it seemed he was well tended for anyway. Good old Genessia, rushing to the aid of sourpusses. He knew the feeling.]
