A yawn, a stretch, and waking up to the sounds of celebrations all very loud outside. Baofeng shifted and let his legs fall off the bed as he stared out the window. It wasn’t very often he afforded himself some time to relax and have fun, but he had arrived in the city a day early, so he had partook in some of the celebrations the night before. He rubbed his head for a moment before pulling on a pair of pants that had been made for him due to the needing room for his tail. With heavy steps he went descended to the common’s room where there was still drinking and singing taking place in the merriment of the festival.

It was time for him to go about collecting the needed goods for the rest of the season, which would mainly consist of food needed to make sure his students didn’t starve, and a few new blankets to replace ones that did not survive the between seasons. Baofeng was a simple being with not many wants or needs and tried to keep his life rather easy going with the only things weighing heavily on his shoulders would be the thoughts that many others shared. He found that by tossing away the idea of fineries, and social ranking he achieved more for himself on a spiritual and emotional level allowing him time to consider the secrets of the world and himself.

The crowded streets didn’t bother Baofeng in the least bit as he moved easily between people his broad shoulders carving a small path through the crowd. Stopping he heard the sound of a fiddle playing accompanied with clapping and the sound of dancing. His head lifted and suddenly he was stunned. HIs eyes staring at one of h te most beautiful creatures he had ever laid his eyes on. She was a burning red, and moved not gracefully, but with abandon and without shame. Which  to Baofeng only made her more attractive.

Without even thinking he moved closer to the stage moving people out of his way as he got closer for a better view of the red hybrid. Stopping at the edge of the stage he stared up at her watching as the black and white squares danced in front of him spinning, his tail swaying back and forth as he smiled inwardly at her.
