"Uuuhh you sure you're okay there bud?"
No. he was not. Infact he's been restless and the black bags forming under his eyes would be the evidence of it. The way Mk and Wukong stare at him, of course he knows that they're really concerned about this sudden change of mood from him. the bags, loud yawning, Grumbling and annoyed remarks. he's like a woman on period.
"I'm fine" He shortly spoke, covering his eyes with his scarf and Grumbling 'I need sleep so bad' eyes restless, body sore and his head throbbing. whenever he close his eyes the events that happened yesterday would always play out his head. too clear and real. was it a dream? who knows, yet he dreams rarely. well in fact maybe his dreams were weird and unexplainable. yet This one seems too good to be a dream, it's like an Unknown memory. he has no recollections of such thing as meeting a Maroon eyed lady nor visiting that House and attending a wedding.
"you don't look so fine for me bud"
"yeah! here I got some milk for you, maybe it'll help to knock you out"
Mk offered, the shadow monkey Sighing and accepting the mug from the boy "It's just, I've got a bad dream." He spoke, making Wukong and Mk look at each other "Bad dream? that's....weird I thought you just knock yourself out to sleep and then wake up refreshed" The boy blurted, making Wukong snort. "Kid I can't even explain what the fuck I just dreamed of. it's too...realistic for my taste" too Real for him if he would say. and if ever Mk experienced it , he's sure that the boy will be also confused.
"Hey uh...Monkey king I think it's best if we don't ask him about his nightmares"
"hm? why not?"
"maybe because Macs uncomfortable or it's just Macaque being Macaque." Mk Shrugged, best that they leave the shadow demons nightmares alone or else maybe he's going to be pissed and worst, ignore them for another 3 weeks just like the last time "Oh yeah! hey Monkey king you said that Master Subodhi Invited you?" He chirped, The King glancing to his Succesor.
it's been like—a very long time and suprisingly, the Old Immortal Subodhi Invited him. The old man popping out his Mountain the same as ever and then, taking a tour around for a little bit before giving him two tickets. He was Confused. I mean—psh the old guy rarely does things such as hanging out, Subodhi prefers staying much inside his Home and taking care of Immortal things.
But. well maybe things are Bound to Change and that includes the suprise visit from the great Master Subodhi himself.
"yeah the Old man Invited us to this...Peking opera I think? not really my taste but the master Invited us sooooo"
"Oh! oh! I Love watching stuff like that! let's go!" Mk jumped, eyes Sparkling at the thought of going out with his Mentor and the Immortal Teacher Subodhi. "Oh well okay then!" Wukong Shrugged, clearly can't say no to his Young successors request and Ethusiasmn "Hey Mac wanna go?" Mk Tugged him, the shadow monkey, with tired eyes looking back to the boy.
