[ ... ]

To speak with?

[ He might have suggested Naomi, but from what he can tell, she's amoung those who has since been pulled off the world again. Why does he... ]

I may have someone to recommend, if you would appreciate speaking to another woman, and not a man.

[ PRIMROSE. HE'S TOTALLY GOING TO SAY PRIMROSE. ]

[At first she just nods... Until she remembers this is voice.]

Ah... yeah. Someone smart... but a lady. Smart about... lady things.

[NOT JUST FEMALE.............]

Ah, yes, I believe I understand. [ A pause. ] Do you know a Miss Primrose?

[ She has a way about her that to him reads as a woman who knows her fair share of the world and of relationships within it, for better or worse. Smart about lady things? He'd bet she is. ]

I don't, no...

Would you mind me putting the two of you into contact?

I would... definitely not mind.

I'll send her a message to start the process. Just one minute, please.

[ which he literally does right now, while konoha is on hold with some lovely percussion music playing. he comes back on the phone after that. ]

A message has been sent. Was there anything else?

Thank you...

[she's always in his debt...]

Do you like rice cakes, Master Shen?

Mm? [ Wait. Oh no, is she going to offer to make some for him? That's so...

... incredibly great because he's going to be a walking stomach for Cordis and Three Woof Moons too??? ] I do happen to like rice cakes, yes. What brings you to ask?

[ feedme

he can be intelligent and he can network for her (and himself) and he will still think: feedme hopefully ]

Just for a small thank you, is all.

Not just for right now, but. For a lot...

Thank you, Konoha. I look forward to your rice cakes... and I'm happy to have been able to offer assistance as I've been able.

[ HE'S GONNA BE FED says the part of himself that is absolutely all for food, thanks! ]

And... do you like sweet miso dumplings?

I do, yes.

[ Is it edible food? Then he likes to try it, and will decide after how much he particularly liked it. However, sweet miso dumplings are for sure something he enjoys, and hasn't had for a while. ]

How much are you planning on making?

[ A light sort of amusement in his tone of voice at the question. ]

Oh, you know, just enough to make the effort worth it...

[Cause, she's talking homemade, yo.]

THen this Shen Qingqiu looks forward to tasting what you'll make.

[ A pause, and then he says: ]

One moment, Miss Primrose has just gotten back to me.

[ He has to switch lines over, but then he's talking with her, and switching back to Konoha. Only ancient cultivator who knows the multi-line function! Probably! ]

Miss Primrose says she's willing to help answer as she can. She's Sanguis cycle herself. She's just asking that you contact her directly yourself.

[ He taps on his screen, sending a link with an associated number to Konoha... making it a direct click and be taken to the right person affair. ]

[Master Shen;;;

Konoha feels spoiled, that he would oblige her- and so quickly! Just a thanks seems insufficient, but how... to express it...]

And... does Master Shen like red bean soup?

[ He considers it delegation, Konoha, to a better person to achieve the task at hand... and if nothing else, he's learned how to quickly, efficiently delgate in the last six years. ]

Ah, yes, from the time's I've had it before, I can say that I do.

[ He's going to say yes to everything made or caught fresh. He's just going to. ]

Surely you're not intending to make so much at once?

Well, they all need pounded rice, so... as long as I make the red bean and miso beforehand it will be pretty easy to do once all the rice is dealt with...

[she can delegate, too! ... in the kitchen and the lumber yard anyway]

[ both good places to delegate! he'd be very proud! the number of people who never figure out delegation... it is too pitiful to consider.

he chuckles lightly at this, part of him still thinking food! as if he's really just a walking stomach, but he knows its more anticipation after how willing she'd been to learn different ways of making things. he's curious about her cooking in general. ]

I'll defer to your wisdom in this.

[Ehe...]

Then... watch out! I hope you're hungry.

I'll be looking forward to trying anything you make, Miss Konoha.

[ he'll be hungry! he's decently good at being hungry, unless you're serving him tasteless things! ]

I really appreciate you asking after me, Master Shen...

[so cooking is the least she can do!!!!]

And saving me before, too... Like twice now...

[which actually reminds her...]

... Can I ask a question, a ctually?

[ The thing with asking permission to ask a question is they're always already asking a question, and even when he does this himself he still finds it a little absurd. So they have to ask a question about asking a question out of politeness, and—that's beside the point! He'll keep saving her because he has the capability to do so, and the drive to do so. Sensible! Correct! What any good cultivator should aim for. ]

Certainly, please ask.

[ Because now you've made him curious! It's not about intimacy, that's what he's hooked her up with Primrose for, so what could it be? ]

When you saved me the first time... did you, um. Carry me? Like... in your arms? Or did I hallucinate that part?

[ He blinks, thinking back to the chaos on the roof. ]

It wasn't a hallucination. [ He admits, speaking a little slowly. ] I did pick you up in my arms at first.

i'm laughing at how much networking he's doing to get konoha connected to people lajsfd

this is what happens when a lost centaur imprints on you on arrival fkwnglw

she's so sweet, he's just "of course i will help" MILLENNIAL CULTIVATOR DOES HIS BEST

she's that girl who doesn't trust movie reviews in the newspaper and just asks her friends ok

to be fair, at least you know your friends tastes to guess if it'll suit yours or not

why post to a network of strangers when u can call a friend...

the true social media question
