this particular form of the high elder manifests in the same size of a very long cat, and draped himself ‘round la mancha’s shoulders in a similar unbothered capacity. were he bothered with speaking the common tongue, dan feng might clarify not to mistake this as some kind of affection, and that he felt it convenient to observe the denizens of the luofu from such a perch. any teasing about such would be met with a proud raise of the dragon’s chin, a rumbling crowing noise, and a responding puff of cloudhymn.
"Aw, so you do like me. Was the whole snobby prince act just that, o' great and mighty Yinyue-jun?"
He couldn't help but tease, as this seemed like a very narrow window of opportunity when he'd get the chance. Seated on a recliner on a balcony of a ritzy townhouse he'd been lent during his stay aboard the Luofu, it overlooked the quiet Healer's Market that seemed worlds apart from what he'd heard of it. Of course, the Alchemy Commission was sprawling: for a ship that played host to tens of billions of people, its space-folding technology likely meant that billions lived in this delve alone, each probably the size of a planet on the inside, and that said enough of a ship already that large. Of course, Alonso was grateful. He possessed a degree of anonymity, seeming at most like an eccentrically dressed outlander rather than the infamous La Mancha, which he hardly resented.
Maybe he really was getting old. The warm sun, the shady balcony, the perfect temperature akin to an eternal spring day... he could nod off like this. And lucky for him, the girth of Dan Feng's reptilian body slotted snugly into the nape of his neck, making for a perfect pillow he took advantage of. Propping his feet up with a relaxed sigh, he cracked an eye open and stole a quick nuzzle from the silly if younger immortal, knowing he'd earn a scandalized look. Folding his arms on his stomach, lulled by the rustling of a warm breeze through the maple trees, he began to nod off with his new pillow somewhat trapped.
Well, not like his friends would believe him. It'd be too ridiculous, even for the High Elder, wouldn't it?
