*Cheong Myeong by now was still on his first cup as he drank water, coupled with the juice, while also allowing for time to pass by conversating with Lady Senia.*

```"Miss Senia is too too humble, kind, and gracious. I too am but a simple Taoist, trying to reach ascension"```

*Cheong Myeong continued to smile, taking another sip and finally finishing his first cup, his kept his eyes on her, nothing else in the room. How fun this was and to spend time with someone whom he had fancied, it made it all the more better.*

```"Ha ha ha, yes indeed, this Taoist was simply happy to learn more about Miss Senia. Ah, yes yes, let me help"```

*Cheong Myeong carefully helped her up and watched her attempt to take a step, however, seeing her in this condition did not look too favorably in moving current. Thus he picked her up, carefully and slowly so that it wouldn't make her nauseous. Then began walking slowly, carrying her all the way up to their room, he also took with him the drinks and their food using qi to levitate the object with him. The entire way there he just kept watched over her smiling warmly*

```"What would Miss Senia like to know about this Taoist?"```

*Cheong Myeong asked, as he didn't know what to tell her, so he would hope that she could give him something to tell himself about. He spoke gently and warmly, so that she would feel comfortable with her in his arms. Once he got into the room, he carefully opened the door, placing the food down on a table, then walking over to a bed and setting her down gently. Cheong Myeong pulled up a chair next to her, sitting down.*
Carolyn
*Leaned into him as she held on to ensure she wouldn't fall, as he lifted her up, she closed her eyes she was to say the least embarssed, she felt this was unbefitting of a lady.*

`"I apologise it is unladylike to drink this much."`

*As they began to head to the room and he would set her down on the bed she would smile softly she had, been happy through there while conversation, her face was still red from the juice.*

`"Thank you for helping this lady, I wish to know how did this young taoist well... Become a taoist... A swordman...? I also didn't think you would let this lady drink so much alone."`

*She would say teasing him slightly as he sat beside the bed with her*
Patricia
*Cheong Myeong chuckled lightly as he thought this was so cute to see*

```"Miss Senia, you have nothing to worry about. Ha ha ha, if only this Taoist kept up"```

*Cheong Myeong took a sip of his second cup, as by now he was very much Tipsy, but could still hold his own*

```"Of course, it's my pleasure Miss Senia. How did I become a Taoist? Well, I learned from my mother, father, grandmother, and grand father. A way of life and philosophy. All my life, I have lived the life of a Taoist, I live on my own free will. But how I became a swordsman, well at the age of 3, supposedly I had picked up a stick and started to "Play" With it, although back then I didn't realize, I was swinging it like a sword. From there I began training, but unlike most martial talents, I found martial arts boring. Around my peers, I had already surpassed them, comparable to inner disciples of major sects. So I chose to train on my own time, and on my own accord. I would be up late at night simply just swinging the sword, or early in the morning. But that was also because I was known as an escape artist, each time I would somehow escape the clutches of my father and instructors. Ha ha ha, how mischievous and cunning I was. However, something changed on the day I learned MNount Hua's True essence of the sword and saw the basics of the 24 movement plum blossom sword technique. Now here I am, still training, and learning. Though I strayed off path with a chance encounter, with a wonderful violinist and swordswoman, whom I wonder who that may be"```

*He explained his history and origins with his sword, trying to be somewhat comedic with some of the parts in his story. But with the last 2 sentences, he was being rather playful, still sending signs that he was interested in her, although it be obvious*

```"It would seem that this Taoist needs to learn to keep the Lady company, including in numbers of drinks, ha ha ha"```
Carolyn
*Rested her head on the pillow as she looked at him turning to lay on her side her hair gently falling across her face seeing him drink from the second cup she didn't mind she wanted to listen to his story. She looked interested on each word he had to say a soft smile still befell her face as she listened, before she spoke.*

`"It seems that the young taoist is similar to this lady in many aspects only a few differences in skill and where we grew up, I'm sure the taoist has far exceeded any skill I hoped to achieve through my years of training, I had trained from every high elf across the county, from many different families and there instructors being able to avoid my family surprisingly, and my families instructor's I also went to every single adventures guild to become an apprentice to the best swordman's across the nation until I chose three sword arts that have many different variations to hone and master."`

*She would gently and playfully give a little push to cheongs chest, it would be a simple and very weak one before she replied.*

`"Maybe the taoist should learn to keep up with this lady in the future... If he wishes to try and gain her favor."`

*She would close her eyes and slowly begin to fall asleep as she was a tired person when she got drunk all she would do is sleep she wasn't rowdy angry emotional only sleepy*
Patricia
*Cheong Myeong chuckled softly, it was rather true, they had both lived quite similar lives. Rather interesting, like a parallel of sorts.*

```"Truly impressive Miss Senia... Ha ha ha... Oh, it would seem she's fallen asleep, ha ha ha how cute. Sleep well Miss Senia"```

*Cheong Myeong said this, as he sat there, he deployed multiple white and black flames around them, protecting them from within. Any intruder or dark force who came would be burned by this flame.*

```"Ha ha ha, perhaps I may have gained Miss Senia's favor already, though it is rather presumptuous of me, ha ha ha"```

*There he sat, beginning to cultivate until the next morning*
Carolyn
*Would awake placing her hand above her head before leaning up she didn't have any hangover as the juice was null of any of those after effects she only felt bubbly, her eyes began to wander around the room she had remembered most of not everything from last night*

`"Cheong...?"`

*She would say gently before rubbing her eyes tiredly follow d by a big yawn she was thirsty for some water looking around the room she would look for water*

`"Is there any water in the room... This young lady apologizes if the young taoist took offense to this lady falling asleep, I get very fatigued upon drinking the juice and sleep more often then not, and don't become rowdy like most do when they become impaired."`
Patricia
*Cheong Myeong slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes together, and yawning softly.*

```"Yes yes, let me get it for you Miss Senia, and do not worry, it is alright. The juice got me quite tired as well."```

*He himself didn't feel a hangover because he had cultivated, thus purifying the impurities of the alcohol, thus allowing for him to feel fine htis morning. Cheong Myeong then went to grab a glass of water, going back to Lady Senia and handing it to her*
Carolyn
`"Oh the young taoist decided to stay with this lady while she slept, luckily the juice doesn't leave any hangover effects in glad I don't drink that distasteful substance of liqour."`

*As she was handed the cup of water she would hold it gently and began to drink happily she would let out a soft gasp of relief before speaking*

`"The lady must get ready for our travels may the young taoist set the bath and give this lady some time to get ready?"`
Patricia
*Cheong Myeong chuckled lightly. Waving good morning to her*

```"Ha ha ha, of course, this Taoist couldn't simply leave a fair lady alone. Though call me old fashioned"```

*Cheong Myeong nodded, hearing her request, thus went inside the bathroom to get it ready. Inside, he began to draw the water into the tub, then using his qi flames, on a controlled level, to warm up the water for her. He sat there warming it up for about 5-6 minutes before finishing. Then he put on a blind fold, then walked out casually and sitting on the chair beside the bed*

```"You may go inside, I'll keep myself blind folded just in case. So do not worry, I will not peek"```

*He said in a comforting and assuring way, so that she understood he had no ill intentions or ultierior motives with her. He simply wanted to be safe*
Carolyn
*Slowly slid off the bed her feet hitting the ground she would get her clothes and new dress she would wear for when she completed her bathe, once he left the bathe area she would see him sitting on a chair beside the bed with a blindfold this was new... Strange as well... She had never seen anything like this before she would speak.*

`"Young taoist stop being so weird..."`

*She would giggle before untying the blindfold and gently took his hand leading him to the door*

`"This young lady needs her privacy I won't be long you don't have to worry so."`

*She would smile as she gently closed the door behind him and went towards the bathe to undress in privacy she didn't know how to feel about his action but it may be him being concerned and over protective? She would shake her head she wondered why he held have to do that did he learn to do that from someone else he had to travel with? With her she wouldn't allow it at least, she had some boundaries even though it felt nice that he was protective she slowly sank into the tub and began to relax as her white hair floated in the bath gracefully, after a small while she would finish and slowly get up fry off and come towards the door to open it dressed in her new outfit*
Patricia
*Cheong Myeong laughed, nodding to her request. Thus he sat there outside the door simply waiting. When she came out he stood up, grabbing her hand and spinning her for av moment, before holding her close*

```"How beautiful and fleeting, your deep blue ocean eyes, resemble that of a vast ocean, never ending"```

*Said smiling warmly, staring deep into her eyes*
Carolyn
*Would see him as he stood up and hugged her as he soun her then set her down on her feet she had gasped, `"Oh!"` softly as she felt his close embrace she was caught by surprise.*

`"I have only just woke young taoist, so brazen."`

*She would place her hands gently on his chest before booping his nose*

`"The young taoist also may need a bathe."`
