[The name wasn't familiar, but the subject was. Sparkles floated around Shin-Ah when he realized what was going on, and he nodded once again-- this time more eagerly.]
Must be that person.
[He shared with Zeno the brief visual he had of the man thanks to their mental conversation across the city. The man seemed rough on the outside...but, so did Shin-Ah.
And, this man was willing and able to understand Shin-Ah's habit of wasting no words. He hadn't pressed for lengthy explanations, and Shin-Ah appreciated that.]
[He hadn't pushed Shin-Ah to speak at all, and accepted his strange explanations without question or comment. Truly, Auron was a good man to stay in touch with.]
[Ao chooses to perch on Zeno's shoulder, intrigued by the smell of flour on him.] You keep stumbling into intimidating men who end up being really nice.
[An innocent question, but Shin-Ah very clearly recalled exactly how his village had regarded him before he set onto the dirt pathways alongside Yona. Their own fear of him was nigh suffocating-- and he was well aware of how his manner of dress made him look to other people.
In the end, though, he simply couldn't let go of his roots. It would mean letting go of the man who raised him...and he wasn't ready to do that yet.]
Are we really intimidating? Ah, since Zeno normally isn't and you guys are cute, I keep forgetting. My first impression of you guys was adorable, but that wouldn't be the case for everyone.

[And Shin-Ah fully intended to return the bowl to it's rightful owner...after it was cleaned up properly.]

So what did the guy give you to eat?
no subject
...They were good.
[Not as good as Yoon's cooking, but still pretty darn good!]
