stolid features lingered , at odds with smile offered in the close of reasoning behind actions to be cut short . no reception nor antagonism were found amidst complexion unsullied by age : even as stare fell to rings on subtle display in transitory instant , eternal traces were colored in unyielding tones ― stance didn’t falter under the attention and hands were kept crossed behind immortal’s back as words fell between then once more . ❛ you're welcome to admire … with your eyes , not your hands . ❜
gentle reprimand was to move evenly under voice touched with perpetual calmness , giving split - second of silence before moving again onwards the other . ❛ why publicity if we don’t like visitors and the outside world problems they inevitably bring ?! which leads me to : what do i owe your visit ? ❜
request is acknowledged with a quick nod, no desire for argument among a being that clearly commanded respect for such moral crusades. where one may rely on intimidation, the other is calm & collected. an ideology shangqi himself shares. attention continues to wander though hands do not, avoidance of a question he himself hadn’t even taken time to consider. visit was unplanned and unwarranted, perhaps based solely on curiosity that seemed to have grown under ownership of rings. so many questions seemed to accompany the events of the last few months, the world he once knew now unrecognizable. “ i seek answers. ” countenance does not reveal any further motive, shoulders roll in an innocent shrug. “ this world has proven to be filled with countless mysteries. there are many things i can’t find answers to, but this place ? i could see for myself . . . curiosity, that’s all. ”
Nikki Giovanni, from “Mirrors”

it’s the kind of morning where keeping six cups of coffee in motion are at the bottom of the list of things occupying the hectic, corporate sphere turning turmoil between sam’s temples. she has the two standard trays stacked with lattes ( one soy, low-fat, one pump of vanilla & a splenda, the other with enough sugar to cloy cavities into her teeth ), black coffees, & the requisite green tea. each balances uneven ; her phone jitters in her pocket, her briefcase bumps against her hip.
oh, & she’s FIFTEEN MINUTES late for her morning meeting. “ you — ” she starts, shoulder dipping to try & steady the wobbling of one of the cups that spits up a burble of foam in response. “ —- are a LIFESAVER. ” relief sags the aftermath of offloading the tray. sam just manages to unearth her cell to find a slurry of messages following the missed call. “ believe it or not, this is kind of a typical day for me. are you headed this way? ”
a hand waves off gratuities, hands reaching to grab the tray with a gracious smile. this wasn’t exactly in the list of superhero duties wong had hinted at, but – close enough. “ sort of. i’m here on business . . . plenty of time to help juggle some coffees. ” tray balances easily in one hand thanks to heightened reflex, the other reaching to tuck his phone back into his pocket. spam of texts from katy can wait, likely a series of tiktoks not exactly appropriate for public. quick glance is given to the other, noted change in her demeanor once load is lessened. of course, his experience with trays of drinks had typically been attested to rough hangovers demanding treatment by mcdonalds. actual adult business was a welcomed change of pace. “ you work around here ? based on the briefcase, i’d assume one of these skyscrapers, huh ? ”

@shangsqi : “ i was trying to be more than just a trained killer . ” ,
“ well , you’re 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 going to be one in their eyes . believe me , it doesn’t usually get better . ” it does them no favors to lie about this . “ besides , once someone has 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 made up their mind , it’s hard to convince them otherwise . ”
“ i suppose no amount of good can erase the past. ” hope for sweeter truths are futile. a weapon is a weapon . . . it did them no good to deny the simple fact of their upbringing. “ have you managed to convince yourself otherwise ? ”
sorry for the delay on starters / replies, work was a lot more hectic than i anticipated this weekend but i’ll work on queueing everything today and tomorrow <3

the workshop was his pride and joy, albeit scattered and blemished with a smattering of : papers, tools, and hard drives spread aboust every which way you looked. to say harls had a method to madness would be the correct term when referring to the clutter before them and how easily harley picked out what it was they were looking for. “ don’t judge, dude. what works, works. plus i get plenty of shit done here. “
hands lift in quick defense, mouth turned in an amused grin as the other sorts through the chaos. “ no judgement, just not what i expected. i’ve only really seen dr. strange’s office . . . not exactly a fair comparison. ” he finds himself wandering, digits drag along desk & papers with idle interest. “ what is all this for ? ”

gaze lifts from work as nothing more than a momentary flicker as the office door opens, expecting a student or some lost patron of the arts, but recognition flourishes into immediate curiosity as she notes a familiar face. ❝ shangqi. ❞ a tone of surprise that he should find himself in london and speaking of a certain need ; artifacts, plural. ❝ of course, come in. ❞ he’s ushered close with a beckoning hand as the eternal rounds the desk and extends a hand in greeting. ❝ i’m sersi. i was just telling my … college friends about your video actually. quite impressive. ❞
rings promised to alter the trajectory of his life, a beacon for chaos. and so far, wong’s predictions had been proven right. “ thank you, ” hand extends in return, a polite smile offered in hopes of masking faint flush of features at the mention of infamous video. “ ah, still getting used to that. y’know , i got a lot of stunt job offers after that . . . sorry - not relevant. ” hand lifts to rest at the nape of his neck, nervous rambling strikes again. “ i’m sure you’ll find these even more interesting . . . ” digits move to pull back a sleeve, subtle glow of rings revealed once a quick look is given to ensure they’re alone. “ no one seems to know much other than these are very old & very powerful. ”

message received , @geosis : please tell me you didn’t eat that.
limbs seem frozen at the other’s words , a mixture of guilt & worry making itself evident on paled features. eyes don’t bother to lift to acknowledge the plea , an audible sigh precedes fingertips pinching at the bridge of his nose. “ you didn’t think to warn me beforehand ? ”
message received , @iahras : well , i guess that’s broken.
swift reflexes had always proven beneficial. decisions made in an instant , coalescence of grace & brutality a keystone of his training. reflexes , however , could come too quickly at times – resulting in these exact situations. features are quick to flush as an apologetic smile is offered in response. “ my bad . . . ” hand lifts to brush against nape of his neck as eyes fall to the ground. “ i would offer to pay for that , but it looked a little out of my price - range. ”
message received , @hakune : did you find what you were looking for ? ( xialing )
memories of times before things fell apart are few but treasured , souvenirs of what could’ve been kept locked deep beneath hardened surface . reminiscence had only been entertained in isolation , nights after shifts or battle when he can only wonder how things had ended up like this . reconciliation had 𝑆𝐻𝐴𝑇𝑇𝐸𝑅𝐸𝐷 the chest housing those memories , finally free to come & go as they pleased - especially at the sight of his sister . “ you’re here , so i’d say so. ” child - like grin follows his words & brightens features faintly bruised from last night’s events . “ can’t i pay my beloved sister a visit ? ”
message received , @druisg : how about we don’t do that .
abiding by the requests of others was a 𝑫𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑹𝑶𝑼𝑺 habit forged in austere upbringing . his hand is quick to retract from the artifact before him , raising in defense as body turns to face the other . “ just admiring . ” gentle smile reassures the justification , careful to approach the other as arms fold across his chest , sleeves retracting just enough to expose lowest rings . not a threat - but certainly an insurance policy . “ i wasn’t sure if the legends were true , but this place does seem unusually . . . peaceful . no conflict , no greed . though , you could use better publicity . ”
