“I feel like I should have known that. I moved to China the least I could do is to learn the traditions.” Cal said. 

“You have me to tell you them.” Jiaying replied. “You have done much for the people here. More than anyone who knew our mythology has.”

“It doesn’t seem fair to rely on you to tell me everything. I should take some initiative to learn on my own.” Cal said calmly. 

“I like telling you things.” Jiaying told him. “It gives me something to say.”

[brokencalvinzabo]

“I would hate to take that from you.” Cal said. “I guess I will have to get used to it. I will do anything for you. I want you to be happy.”

“No that is a common means of celebrating, what it is about is Zhinü, the weaver girl, and Niulang, the cow herder, whose love was forbidden so they were placed in the heavens separated by the silver river of stars. Their love was so strong though that ever seventh day on the seventh month a flock of magpies fly up and form a bridge allowing the lovers to reunite for one day.”

“Wow… That is really romantic.” Cal said calmly. “I really need to brush up on my Chinese mythology.”   

“So girls look to impress a Niulang of their very own.” She finished explaining the tradition. “You don’t need to look them up Cal.”

“there is no way of knowing that,” Jiaying said placing her hand on his cheek in a gentle loving manner. 

“Yes I do. My heart knows it to be true.” 

“You are a bold man Calvin Johnson.” 

[brokencalvinzabo]

“I wouldn’t describe myself as bold.”

“Qixi Festival is it’s own tradition with it’s own story.” She said, “One where I would be giving you a gift to show I have the domestic skills to make a good wife.”

“That is seriously what it is about?” Cal said. “I don’t know how to feel about that. You are more then just your domestic skills.” Cal laughed nervously. “I mean… That is a very western opinion.”

“Happy American Valentines Day.”

“You do know there is only one, don’t you?” Jiaying asked taking the offered flowers into her arms.

[brokencalvinzabo]

Cal gave her a little pout. “I looked it up and everything but I guess if you are going to be technical about it then you are correct.”

“I’m older than your grandparents, I’ll never bare your children, and my life is full of responsibilities I cannot share with anyone. I just fear in time you would come to regret choosing to follow a path with me.”

“I don’t care about any of that. I will never regret my decision.”

The air around them shifted, and then like the fabric of reality was unzipping a window to another place opened like an eye-  Ojal Anand stood on the other side holding open a doorway to Xīn de bìnàn suǒ the inhuman sanctuary. 

“It is safe,” Jiaying promised her people stepping forward and passing through the eye- “Come with me to safety and a home we can build for ourselves.”

Seymour hesitated as if going to this place was somehow forbidden to him. He had to remind himself that she had invited him and if she invited him it was okay. Seymour made a decision and stood up. He walked over the portal, which he should have been shocked about but he wasn’t, and stepped through it. 

The inhumans and Seymour found themselves in the beautiful fresh sea air on a member of the Surin Islands. Other inhumans came out of the trees and over to the new group welcoming them and taking them under the canopy. 

Jiaying found Cal as the small crowd thinned to almost no one. “Welcome to Láishēng.”

[brokencalvinzabo]

Seymour looked around in absolute awe. “Huh... It almost feels like home.” He said calmly to himself. Things suddenly felt more comfortable and more familiar even though he had spent most of his life in Milwaukee.

Jiaying left his side then and returned to check on the others who were there waiting. Her people. She spoke to each one in quiet whispers, looking them over and making note of their needs. It would be a bit still before their transport back to Xīn de bìnàn suǒ arrived.

Seymour not knowing what else to do sat down and just waited for whatever it was they were waiting for. He sat by himself mostly because of him feeling like her didn’t belong.

The air around them shifted, and then like the fabric of reality was unzipping a window to another place opened like an eye-  Ojal Anand stood on the other side holding open a doorway to Xīn de bìnàn suǒ the inhuman sanctuary.

“It is hardly the same thing, and carrying one burden does not lessen the weight of another.”

“Okay I clearly made the wrong comparison. What I meant to say was I am not just going to run when things get difficult… Or complicated. I am completely dedicated.” 

“And I would not be much of a good woman if I allowed a man I cared for to dedicate himself completely to something that would cause him pain. Now would I?”
