Back at the apartment,Zi hua tells Jinn of his unease about this place.
They sat in the living room consoles in their hands talking as Jinn selects a player.
"The others aren't composed either, Fei Bai and Richard should've been here but they had an errand" Zi hua leaned back and tapped the console on his head. He wasn't sure what Jinn thought of it nor how certain he was that things weren't normal,Maybe it was just Taeh-he seemed better now- The doctor had given him a prescription and all but his nerves prickled unending.
"what do you want to do about it?"Jinn's questioned, eyes still fixed on the screen,his hair damp from an earlier shower,Zihua shrugged and took his head back in thought.
"find the old lady?" he closed his eyes eyebrows scrunched in frustration "pick one already-am getting bored- you've been on it since, forever"
"patience" Jinn grinned,"I saw the lady the day we took Taeh to the hospital" he finally selects a player and leaned back, getting into position Zi hua turned to him. Jinn remembered the unfinished conversation he had with the lady, she knew his father and that was great news , perhaps he'll visit tomorrow he wondered.
"For real,why didn't you say something,what did she say?"
"Not much, I'll meet up with her and see what I can find" he brushed his thumb at the edge of his console "name a price" did he still have to worry about Taeh? he was taking medications he bowed his head.
"your laptop"
"no way!" Jinn said taking his head up, amused he tossed a pillow to Zi hua "your new runners then" Jinn raised a brow and stare mischievously at him.
"my what, dude do you know how difficult it is to find those shoes? they are like only 40 pairs in the country! you wouldn't believe how lucky I am."
Zi hua emphasized in disbelief "what I am saying is no way, new price"
"Zhang Kai's fried cakes,for a week_"Jinn sang and Zi hua spun to face him bewildered"_he loves baking I'm sure he wouldn't mind, plus the looser gets to pay for the ingredients"
"you sure you want to go there Jinn?" Zi hua laughed.
"positive, shall we begin? five rounds!"
"no three"
Taeh leaned at the stairs behind them watching as they yell and laugh in excitement.
"Zi hua is loosing that game" Rou Bai declared without a doubt and descended the stairs glancing at Taeh then the screen.Taeh smiled and slightly lifted his shoulder, he breathed warily and looked around, the house was quiet and apart from Jinn and Zi hua's occasional uproar nothing agitated Taeh, he had not heard from The Second since earlier that morning.The second had given him a task the night at the hospital, his vassal was coming.
Although his vassal would be at their house in the evening to meet Jinn privately,it didn't bother him how he'd get Jinn alone- since Jinn loved to spend time by himself in the evenings. He wondered how Jinn would react and if he would refuse what they wanted of him.
He had no idea but mostly what bothered him was Jinn's value,The Second had told him of Jinn's purpose and he feared for his friend,he didn't want them getting involved in this but that was unavoidable.
" Oh! Richard said he needs you, his having trouble with his new lyrics" Rou Bai said heading back up the stairway carrying a food box and Taeh followed up.
