[How Jingyi discovered this is irrelevant. That he does not usually celebrate is also irrelevant, considering their circumstances. The important thing is that today is Jingyi's birthday and he is not dead of something horrible! If that is not cause for celebration he does not know what is.]

It is my birthday!

What do you do for birthdays where you are from? Are they things that we can do here?

Sect Leader! Hello!

[That comes out as a slightly uncertain chirp, but ah well.]

I am 19 now!

[porndealer]

Huuuuh? Oh no no, that would be da-ge. I'm not sect leader, but I guess people could get us confused?

[Said so very uncertainty. No Huaisang, no they can't confuse you two.]

[gusumouthcannon]

Oh--? Well, I mean, yes, Chifeng-zun was sect leader?

[Um. He is not sure how to handle this, so he just ventures:]

How old are you?

[porndealer]

[Was? Ha-haha... Just going to pretend he didn't hear that. His brother was FINE when he was taken here. Well, er, he was okay!

Huaisang trues not to think too much about it for the moment.]

Twenty-one...

[gusumouthcannon]

Oh. Huh.

[This is a very long pause at this point so Jingyi can think about this. It is a puzzled pause. He is not trying to be ominous or anything.]

You are much younger than when I met you?

[porndealer]

Younger? How much younger?!

[What did that mean?! Was Jingyi some how from the future?! How was that possible?

Huaisang you're all here right now, how is THAT possible.]

Oh no I want to ask questions, but at the same time what if I won't like the answers?!

[gusumouthcannon]

Kind of a lot younger! Maybe ten years? I do not know how you are supposed to tell when everyone are cultivators!

[Because that is the relevant issue here. Cultivation makes 'guess your age' carnival games hilariously easy to win.]

And I do not think you should ask any questions. At all.

[porndealer]

[This is not helping at all, but with Jingyi straight up telling him not to ask any questions... he won't, but now a boy has so many of them. Too many and bad feelings he's going to try and ignore.]

W-Well, I guess if you think about it maybe it's not so weird that you can come from another time than me. This place is so strange and they can already steal us away so--

[Huaisang is just going to change the subject now. Haha.]

But it's your birthday, so you should do something you enjoy. If you can.
