[ despite xie lian's amazing offering, nothing happens when he makes the wish! i really hope he leaves the planetarium at some point, because he might be there for a while if not.
but as soon as he does, a figure appears on the ground next to him, mostly out of nowhere. it looks like they dropped from the roof, at the same time that no jump was actually visible.
say hello to goat, xie lian. or so one would probably assume, going by the horns and ears. they say nothing. ]
[ he absolutely waits around for a while. in fact, at one point, he even attempts his spiritual communication array. hello? ling wen? goat???
however!!! his efforts are not entirely fruitless, because there is a goat. the appearing has him shifting back, a bit surprised by the sudden entrance, and he bobbles his tomato present. ] Ah!
Oh. [ hey wait. ] Oh!! Hello, you must be ...Goat, right? It worked, you heard my prayer...
Edited (i ended that strike with a <i>? hello?) 2020-09-29 14:26 (UTC)
xie lian's very quiet when goat appears out of nowhere beside him, for the moment not looking at them, either. the realization from earlier tasted so bitterly familiar that he's still choking on it, and for the moment, he doesn't know where to start. ]
Brother Goat. [ that's all he really has for a greeting, at first. ]
...You still witnessed everything, even though you weren't there, correct?
[ amazingly, something will happen after xie lian makes a wish! he gets a new message: forest.
... well, have fun searching through the whole forest! but no, if he looks for a while, a bird will eventually start flying around xie lian, as if trying to catch his attention. if he follows it, he'll find goat lying on the ground, posed like a corpse.
they hold up a hand, waiting as the bird perches on it, before it flies off. 'sup. ]
[ like a true disney princess, he follows the bird, and therefore finds his leader laying on the forest floor, which is a whole mood.
xie lian stands there for a moment as he approaches, and then sets the tea tray down a bit above goat's head. he then eases himself down into a sitting position next to them... and then flops backwards to join them, also laying a bit like a corpse on the ground with a quiet "oof". it makes his rib injuries rattle a little but that's fine.
xie lian looks up at the sky ahead for a moment, before lolling his head to glance at goat. ] ...How are you feeling?
despite the generally terrible state of this week so far, xie lian has a smile for goat when he appears, as ever. he's sitting on the floor of the planetarium, legs crossed, and has a couple of boxes in his lap. there are a couple of those memory bubbles floating around the planetarium today, though xie lian serenely ignores them. ]
Hello, Brother Goat. Here...this is for you. [ and hands him a box!! saloon food! i laughed when i saw tomatoes. ] It must be quite lonely in the castle...I thought perhaps we could share a meal.
[ xie lian asks and he will receive; it's not long after he makes his wish that there's the usual sparkling light before swan shows up. they have their arms behind their back as they peer up at him ]
Hello.
[ they have. an inkling. what this may be about. ]
wow i didnt realize it was one audience post until right this minute
yeah. xie lian has a smile and a bow for them, serene and polite as he always is, before offers them his little offering - an apple and the wildflowers. he doesn't seem particularly unhappy? ]
...Hello, dear Swan.
I...think you may already know why I'm here... but I would like to confirm something with you, if that's alright.
Were you the one that sensed Miss Alyssa's nova was splintering?
[ the bridge is always a nice spot for a meeting! xie lian spots goat and trots over towards him, greeting him with a fist in hand bow. his qilin chitters, standing up straight on xie lian's shoulder and mimicking the bow gesture. extremely cute. ]
Hello, Brother Goat! We've seen quite a bit of each other this week. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions, if that's alright...?
[ xie lian is sitting cross legged on the floor when goat does arrive, holding his tea. he looks exhausted, and he is holding his tea cup like it's a lifeline, but the pot sits fresh and a second cup awaits goat, too.
he gives him a smile. it's small and warm, even if it's tired - after all, jeanne is still alive. ]
Come take a seat...? I'm not sure how long I can stand.
i mean!! xie lian greets rabbit with a polite bow, fist to hand. ]
Hello, dear Rabbit. I have to ask a task of you, if you wouldn't mind... It's a bit silly. Would you mind delivering two letters for me, without informing the recipients of who they're from....? It's nothing nefarious, I promise - maybe only a little sneaky.
[ when the sleeping god beauty awakens from his nice nap, lessa will find...
1) there's another blanket over him, and an extra pillow. 2) settled within eyesight of the coffin, there is a bright red, ripe tomato. next to that, there are a few small white flowers in a glass, and tucked underneath it, a note that simply reads: I am honored that I was able to learn your true name.
[ it's like really late in the evening when xie lian comes to seek out goat, when it feels like most of the rest of the realm has settled down. (save for whatever wild pcs are happening at this moment.)
he's heading for the forest to try and find him, and, if he can't quick enough, he's gonna just flop down in a clear spot near a tree, leaning back against it and waiting. maybe if he sends out a prayer? ]

xie lian's already dealt with it once, so maybe he'll be less surprised when nothing happens, and then once he leaves the planetarium, goat appears.
again, they say nothing, apparently waiting for him to make the first move. ]
