Moving In
(Open to Jingyi's new roommates. :))
Jingyi is not used to the architecture of this strange new world and he's thrown a little by the townhouse he is apparently living in for the foreseeable future. Still, he is meant to stay here, and so he finds his way inside to the bottom floor and then simply...stops. He underestimated how different this would be.

Taking everything in with wide eyes, he finds himself observed by someone...not in robes and a headband, so he can tell very little about them. Immediately, a smile springs to his face. "Hello! Do you live here as well?"

Chicken Dance
The chicken costume is very large and very warm, though the overcast days in Maurtia mean that this is not an entirely bad thing. Still, he encourages people to go to eat chicken by standing on a corner of two streets and flapping his arms at them. It is very much not dignified, and Jingyi takes a well-deserved break from flapping at people to sit outside the back of ChickenYEET! and take off his head. The breeze is very nice, and in chasing it, he has made it so that he is not very well hidden.

Unfortunately, the breeze also has a mind of its own. His chicken head is caught by a sudden gust and flies its way out of the alley. All that is left is for Jingyi to chase after it. "Hey, come back!"

[ooc: poke me and I'll whip up a custom starter. :)]

The new person's entry is not startling not because they do not take him by surprise, but because Jingyi has been bombarded by too much newness and he cannot spare any emotions to be startled. He turns and blinks at this food-carrying person for a long time before his thoughts return and he shakes himself.

His sword is sheathed and held in one hand, and he pulls it close to his chest in comfort. "I am to live here," he tells her. "So I think I am your newest roommate. Do you often have visitors for your other roomates?" He asks without thinking, then blinks at her a little more. "Ah, you are a girl. I did not think I would be put in the same house with a girl."

"My other roommates? Yeah, they sometimes bring other people over to visit for a bit, but they never stay for very long. I haven't done that yet, but--" She shrugs a little and then offers him a friendly smile, in an attempt to make him feel more comfortable. Just judging by his reaction alone, she's almost certain she can make a safe bet that he's not only a new roommate, but a new ImPort as well. His last sentence does make her blink a little, though.

"I'm pretty sure the government here just puts people in houses at random without thinking much beyond that," she rummages through the bag she brought back, and idly pulls out a bag of oranges, "but if it makes you feel better... I promise I'm not going to be a bother at all."

She can try not to be, anyway.

It takes a moment, but Jingyi catches up to her thoughts after a moment. "Oh, no. I am not worried about us bothering one another," he says, already a little put at easy by her friendliness. He tries to be equally friendly. "It is just that I have not lived in the same building as any girls. They keep the junior disciples who are girls apart. I only mean that it is different."

He spots the oranges and his face lights up. With only a little bit of ulterior motive, he cups his hands in front of himself and bows in greeting. "I'm Lan Jingyi. May I know who you are?"
