[ Either option is good by Shi Qingxuan!
Just calling him "Windy"... Truly just reducing him to his role as Wind Master, isn't it? And he has no idea what "Wind Master" means! If he did, surely he would have a different reaction to that title!
Really, he should start just letting people call him "Lord Wind Master" like usual since it doesn't seem the mortals here know that "the Wind Master" is the title of a god...
Well! Regardless! ]
It's usually "Qingxuan" or "Lord Wind Master" or "Wind Master Qingxuan," but I won't object to "Lord Windy," either. [ He laughs a little as he says that again. Ahaha, he loves the people here, they're all so laidback! Truly, "Shi Qingxuan" would be just fine, but if he's letting him call him "Shino," then he can call Shi Qingxuan by just his first name, too. They're friends, after all!
Food friends! ]
Ah, you're one of those types! [ He gestures at him with his fan. ] In that case, I know a place that should suit you.

[ He'd be more respectful, it's true, because he has more respect for gods and demons (who aren't being stupid) than he does for humans, and he's... not even aware of that bias. Or how it's slowly been growing, because of his awareness of the power most supernatural beings hold compared to an average human.
Doesn't mean he doesn't still piss people off, or walk into areas he shouldn't be uninvited, but at least he has a sense of what it is to be respectful. ]
Qingxuan, then. Lord Windy when you're being impressive.
[ He may or may not later lower his face into his hands if he ever learns Shi Qingxuan is, actually, a god. It's. Just let him be for now.
Regardless, he grins, shrugging his shoulders and swinging their joined hands a bit while staying in place. The fan makes more sense now, as something he otherwise tends to associate with women by his point in history, or with actors. ]
What, a meat-lover? Who doesn't love meat! But if you know a place, then let's go!

[ Truly, if he knew he was a god, he might expect more respect, too. But since he's been playing mortal cultivator with most people, and most people have been friendly and easygoing, he doesn't mind the lack of title.
Really, hearing "when you're being impressive" just makes him preen, grinning proudly behind his fan. Yes, he is impressive, isn't he?
Enough about that, though! He lets their joined hands swing, thinking, He's like a small child, isn't he? ]
Yes, someone who only loves meat. Ah, do you want to hold onto me again before we go? We'll be going higher this time.
[ He may or may not want praise. ]

[ He is like a child in some respects, and carefree mannerisms are one of them; then again, Shi Qingxuan is the one subtly looking for praise and showing off. They're in good company. ]
I don't hate other things, but meat's the best! And sure, sure.
[ He's in such a good mood with the idea of food coming along soon that he steps out and faces Qingxuan, wrapping his free arm around his waist. It leaves him facing him, honestly, though he looks out over his own shoulder, their joined arms tucked up between their chests because it was the easiest way for Shino to position himself when it's all just a touch awkward. ]
Whenever you're ready, fly us away, Lord Windy!

Normally, being this close would be too embarrassing and ridiculous to handle - really, he's so close, Shi Qingxuan can smell his hair and see the individual lashes of his eyes - but the comfort of moonlacing really is amazing, isn't it? He gives their linked hands a reassuring squeeze as he flips out his fan.
It's only the matter of a few simple waves before the wind takes his command and rises them up. Shi Qingxuan's own billowing robes flap against their legs as they go higher and higher. Shino wanted to know how high he could go, and the answer truly is "to the heavens," but he stops much shorter than that, though he carries them high enough that the entire park is in view, along with the nearby streets, building, and anything else.
The air is particularly cool at this height though the sun is warm in their shoulders.
It feels good to be so high up and just enjoy the view, enjoy the cool whip of the wind against him. He's all smiles as he looks down at Shino again. ]
What do you think? How's this?

What do you think? How's this?
[ Shino is soaking up the affection and attention. The moonlacing is something he's getting more used to, like a cat sprawling out in the sun, because the sheer pleasant warmth of it is addictive to someone who already believes in casual physical affection for his family, the people he cares about.
Extending it to strangers is... part of why he's on board to make them friends. Strangers could be the whole of everyone on this planet. Friends are what he really needs.
He squeezes back, more of an I'm ready than a I'm reassured. He's already placed his faith in Shi Qingxuan, and just like that, he has no particular doubt. It's Shi Qingxuan's confidence that helps lend Shino that faith, and he's grinning without realising as soon as that fan moves and the wind around them lifts them up.
The robes hitting his lower legs put him in mind of Rio Satomi as they rise higher, and higher, and for a moment, up here, he feels like they're like birds, higher over the park. Not as high as Murasame might fly, but this isn't a view Shino generally has, and he's wide eyed soaking it in, grin morphing into a smile of pure pleasure. ]
We're flying.
[ He states, and yes, it's obvious, and no, they're not magically birds, but it's such a thought and a reality that stating as much has him laughing, purely spontaneous. It's not what he'd have expected. He could probably fly with the brothers if he needed to, but it's still a little different, and after days of distress and the stress of this place settling over his shoulders, this?
This is freeing.
He can't pull his eyes away from what they're seeing at first, but when he does, his bright green eyes are sparkling up at Shi Qingxuan. ]
What do I think? This is incredible, Windy!
[ See, there's the nickname for use when something's impressive. Which again, if he knew, if he knew he was talking to a god... eh. He'd still be enchanted with flight. He'd just also be more aware of how fickle such a state might be. Gods and demons, as he knows them, are not steady, unflappable personalities. ]
You're totally showing off, but it's great! How long can we stay up here?
[ Is he still hungry?
Yes.
Is he distracted from that by this whole new experience?
Yes.
Give a guy a break, he's eaten every day of his life that he could manage, he's never flown or hovered like this! ]

[ Freeing is just how Shi Qingxuan thinks of it too. This is freeing, it's enchanting, and no matter how much he does it, no matter how much plays with the wind, it never loses its appeal.
To have Shino laughing and smiling with him, he feels like he's found a kindred spirit in this. While certainly many mortals would find flying fun, at the moment, this feels like something special only the two of them are sharing. Which, technically, is the case, as he's never taken anyone else into the air like this purely for the joy of it.
The wind ruffles their hair, gently lifting it from their backs and adding a bit of coolness under the bright sun.
It's nice. He really could happily stay here all day.
Between his spiritual powers and the constant chroma generation between him and Shino, could they do that?
Maybe when Shino isn't hungry. Shi Qingxuan, for all the fun he's having, hasn't forgotten that. ]
How long would you like to stay up here? As long as you want to stay, we can stay! But weren't you hungry a moment ago?
[ Eating in the air is not as fun as it may sound! ]

[ He has a feeling if he flew with either of the idiot brothers, things would be far more chaotic. Not that they'd drop him or anything, but the whole reality of wings and their being joined with oni of thunder and lightning makes everything a bit more Exciting.
He's about to answer when his stomach grumbles, a loud enough sound that he's blushing in the sudden, acute embarrassment of how obvious it is. ]
Hahaha, uh, I think that's... still true.
[ It's not his fault he can eat... almost always... even if he was distracted and enjoying this taste of flight in such a different way than anything he knows, something a tad closer to what Murasame experiences as a crow, his body doesn't forget what it needs. ]

[ How honest! What an honest reaction! He hugs his hand in place of any other friendly sort of reassurance he can't quite give in their current predicament. ]
How about this? We can get something to eat, and after that we can go flying again? I can fly you back to your home.
[ That would be fun, right? That sounds fun. He can't really offer to take him anywhere more dangerous than where he is already. Really, it's better if they stay somewhere familiar, even if he has no fear of running out of spiritual powers of chroma with Shino acting as a convenient chroma-battery-pack. ]

[ He still hiding back there as he watches this hotheaded man fall on ass into the spring.
But- accusing him of sneaking!!
Shi Qingxuan stands up and puts his hand on his hip. If they weren't both men, this would be at least mildly embarrassing. Since they are, though, Shi Qingxuan, honestly, does not really feel that embarrassed. Clearly the way to show he's not sneaking is to just...more or less come out? ]
Who's sneaking? Isn't it normal to want some privacy when you're undressing? There isn't a changing area here, so this spot has to do!

[ Shameless!
Liu Qingge feels, however, if he looks away that he's losing ... something? He is able to stare at the naked man for a time before he drops his gaze. His jaw bunches as he feels the tips of his ears turn red.
Just think ... a few years ago, he was able to fight against dozens of naked succubi and now he is not able to look at one naked man. But let's be fair... he was really mad when he fought the women so he didn't care about their state of undress. ]
Didn't you realize that the waters were occupied? Are you thinking of joining me?

[ Yeah, that's one thing to call him, but even he feels a little awkward being stared at--ah, he's going to hurried bend down and grab his hair ribbon. Grab his hair ribbon and pretend he wasn't being stared at...
He starts tending to his hair as he replies, taking his hair ribbon and using it to pull his his hair into a high ponytail. ]
Is that a problem? Aren't public springs like this meant for multiple people?
[ He glances back over at him as he finishes with his hair. ]
We all had an awful time getting here, so we should all at least enjoy the springs. I'll sit at the opposite end, though.

[ Well ... that is a good point.
He frowns a little. Is he being unreasonable? He turns back around -- carefully this time; it wouldn't do to fall back down!! -- and tosses his hair over his shoulder. In a dignified manner!! ]
Fine. Come join me and stop standing around. [ The tips of his ears are bright, bright red and he can only hope that it isn't noticed. ]

[ He definitely notices, but there are some things you just don't talk about!!
In the end, this all worked out! No need to consider why anyone may or may not be blushing. Shi Qingxuan gives a small laugh and something of a grateful gesture in return. ]
Thank you!
[ And with that, he carefully makes his way out of the bushes, about equally unwilling to copy that earlier move and fall on his face.
As he slides into the water, he goes ahead and keeps talking. If he acts normal, this is not an awkward situation. ]
Is this your first time coming to something like this?

[ He breathes out a sigh through his nose. ]
You're welcome. [ Even if it was sarcastic, Liu Qingge wouldn't have been able to tell easily if it was. ]
It is. [ His pride isn't so grand that he can't admit something of that sort. Still, he crosses his arms and pushes out his chest. ] Normally, no one would think to share any waters with me.

[ He said he would go to the other side, but since they're talking now, at whatever questionable level of friendliness this is, Shi Qingxuan has more so settled a few feet away from him. This is fine!! The heat of the springs make the longevity lock still around his neck particularly warm against his skin, but it's nothing that bothers him.
...This man is so prideful, Shi Qingxuan thinks. Everything about him is proud. Even naked, he really has the air of a young lord, doesn't he? Nevermind that his words just reinforce that. ]
There's a first time for everything, isn't there? Most people here have no issue sharing waters like this regardless of who they are and who they're with. It might seem a little strange at first, but soaking together can actually be very fun!
[ He pulls his knees up to rest his head on them. ]
Ah, by the way, my name is Shi Qingxuan. Wind Master Qingxuan. May I ask your name?

That's getting a little too familiar.
[ The tips of his ears are still bright, bright red. He turns his head quickly the other way so that his long black hair can cover his ears without making it too obvious -- it is still probably very obvious due to how honest a person Liu Qingge is in everything he does. ]
Sharing waters with anyone... that could lead a person to become quite shameless. [ He decides to make a point of saying, because that's what's too familiar, not giving names. Names are fine!
But anyway, if they're giving titles and all that... ]
Liu Qingge. Bai Zhan Peak's War God.

[ ...What a shy martial god. Did you also cultivate a path of purity?
Regardless, Shi Qingxuan can read the atmosphere enough that he turns to face forward, eyes traveling the horizon and not his companion's face. ]
It's an honor to meet you, Lord Liu. Rest assured, if anyone was truly shameless here, this Wind Master would take care of them. I've yet to meet such people here, though.
[ Because he wasn't that shameless!! He was a normal level of shameless!! Liu Qingge is definitely talking about another kind of person. ]

[ Hm.
The person ... isn't so bad.
Liu Qingge breathes out as he feels a little more at ease. The person is showing him respect but he can't let things go with what he's said. ]
If there are such shameless people here, you should leave it to my blade. [ Right, right? Didn't he say that he was Bai Zhan Peak's War God? If there is someone shameless, he will cut them down! ]

[ It seems regardless of what heavenly realm one belongs to, a martial god is still a martial god. To Shi Qingxuan's credit, he doesn't laugh at that fact, but his smile is evident in his lilting voice. ]
Is that so? Then I shall leave any such person to Lord Liu to handle!
[ Smiling smiling. The strange sense of familiarity is comforting. ]
I don't believe the two of us come from the same world, so I'm afraid I've never heard of your Bai Zhan Peak. Can you tell me about it?

[ He gives a curt nod. ]
That is what this sword is for.
[ Liu Qingge makes a gesture to the sword in question before he tosses the sword back up into the air. The blade glows bright white before it shudders and flies back to its sheath. He didn't do it to show off! Honest! It just seems like he shouldn't keep having a sword out while talking and taking a bath with someone... ]
You do not come from my world? [ He's surprised and yet not. There are many people that he's seen that do not look like they would fit in his world, after all. But he did not get that same impression from Shi Qingxuan. Still, he gives another curt nod and explains: ]
It is a peak for fighting.

[ Thank you for sheathing that sword, Lord War God. While he's still pointedly giving him his privacy, he does let himself watch the show with his sword. It is a nice sword, Shi Qingxuan thinks, and his control of it is very befitting of his title. Xie-xiong would definitely appreciate something like that... Ah, if this guy is nice, maybe he can introduce them later. Does Xie Lian not deserve more martial god friends? He absolutely does!
Though at that question, he glances over with his eyes. ]
If we came from the same world, I feel as though at least one of us would have heard of the other.
[ But he never heard of a martial god Liu Qingge or a Bai Zhan Peak, and Liu Qingge didn't seem to recognize his name or his title. And Shi Qingxuan is very popular! This Liu Qingge would have absolutely heard of him if they were both part of the same heavens!
He explains and yet...Shi Qingxuan does not feel as if he's learned anything at all. He rubs at his forehead. ]

That is a fair assumption.
[ Who in the cultivation world has not heard of him? Even if his name is mocked thanks to countless losses to Luo Binghe, it is still known. He glares at the surface of the water for a second. It isn't his pride that hurts -- not anymore. The first two years ruined his pride; no, he only thinks that it is unfortunate it took so long to bring Shen Qingqiu's body home.
Even if he knows the truth, it still is a sore spot in his heart. ]
Fighting what? [ He turns slightly back to Shi Qingxuan. His head tilts slightly -- could it be in other worlds, they do not fight demons?? ] We fight demons, spirits, and other creatures that threaten the mortal world.

Of course, ah. [ In hindsight, wasn't that an obvious answer? Though he had to wonder if he was "of Bai Zhan Peak" before or after ascending. If before- he really could have been fighting anything!! Aren't most martial gods former generals?!
Though now he has even more questions. ]
Though I must know, is that to say your Bai Zhan Peak is part of the heavenly realm?
[ He asks, because that's the part he doesn't get. Shouldn't a heavenly realm be above any mountains? Why just that one peak at that? Are there many war gods on that Bai Zhan Peak? He's very curious now, and he's this close to turning his head so he can talk to Liu Qingge properly, but he reins himself in. ]

Do you fight something else in your world?
[ Why does he sound kind of a little too interested about that? Don't worry about it. Really don't. He is someone who has fighting on the brain no matter what -- and if fighting whatever is in Shi Qingxuan's world would make him stronger to protect his people, he will do it. Before he did it just to enhance his skills, he now has another purpose for it. ]
Part of the heavenly realm? [ He frowns and crosses his arms in thought. Did he uncross and recross his arms? He might have. Liu Qingge doesn't believe that Shi Qingxuan means the heavenly realm, but rather if its skills could place it among such a realm. ]
Of course, it is.
