“….I’m honoured that you think of me that way…I’m sorry i cannot be here so often.”

Hey Mo. you use the title "master" for a lot of people, and I know they all teach you different things but....if you had to chose, who is your main mentor?

"Hmm... I suppose if I had to call anyone my "master" not just in a respectful sense but in the sense that they are my mentor and the one I follow.... That would have to be Lord Nezha, I look to him most for guidance and he was the first to step up and take me under his wing. I know he cant be here often, but...he's the one I consider to be my Master."

Nezha listened closely, eyes falling on the replaced spiked collar as he continued to run his hands through Mo's blue fur. His expression scrunched up in displeasure. He wishes he could beat some sense into those cats, but one thing he was certain about was that his base strength alone would kill them when all he wanted was to teach them a lesson in humility and lack of judgement. Unfortunately as a celestial, He will not be able to take them in either,, no matter how much he wished he could. The Lotus prince squashed all his lingering thoughts to focus on Mo's words.

"...Will you be informing Sandy that you will be departing permanently?? He tried to offer a reassuring smile.

"I can accompany you in informing him, if you would like."

The idea of trying to judge Mo's act fairly has completely gone out the window. The scenario....it was all too familiar. Being named a freak, a monster...and lashing out in response? It reminded him of himself. Nezha inched forward carefully, gently running a hand through Mo's fur....reaching to pull the demon cat close.

"It's alright, little one, breathe.....It's not your fault..."

( response to @lotus-protector-official continued from here)

Mo jumped slightly when the deity appeared so suddenly, but he remained where he was. The kitten shifting his stance to actually be sitting before the Lotus Prince, head hung low and ears pinned against his head. The moment that happened earlier back on the house boat was playing on repeat in the feline's mind, his heart was heavy with guilt.

".....I lost control." He shut his eyes tightly as the tears started to fall, water was starting to gather in puddles around his paws. "I attacked one of my siblings on the houseboat. Things were hard enough without all fifteen of my brothers reminding me they hated me, that I've always been a monster...a freak to them. Ginge called me it again and... And I.... I snapped. I attacked him in anger. I...I didnt... I didnt mean to... I just wanted them to stop!"

He shifted back and covered his face with his paws, there was still blood on his claws. No mortal cat could take a demon's claws and teeth...and Mo wasnt sure what he had done to the other cat's ear when he bit it. His mind went blank on that. But his claws had most certianly dug deep into the mortal feline's shoulder.

"I don't know what to do now..." The young demon cub's voice was choked with sobs, he never meant to hurt anyone! Never...

"....Do you take me for a fool?"

[lotus-protector-official]

(from crossed-worlds) (Mo)

The kitten looked very different now than he was since they had last met. No longer lost and confused but instead guilt and fear had instilled in the feline's eyes. The kitten was very much upset, as evidenced by the water demon leaving damp footprints behind him with every step.

Mo couldnt exactly track Nezha anywhere like Wukong or other deities could...but he COULD find one of the Lotus Prince's shrines in the city. He had brought one of the butterfly pea flowers that Sandy often grew on the house boat.... leaping up to leave it on the shrine since he didnt know where his deity friend and mentor was.

"Nezha? A-Are you there? I...I did something bad...." The kitten was trying his best to keep it together, even as his whole body shook with held back tears.

Nezha could hear the demon's plea from all the way in Heaven, and he didn't hesitate to appear before Mo in a burst of pink flame. He kneeled before the kitten, and hesitantly reached to pet him. Before his mind caught up with him. Mo did something bad....he can't just let him off easy just because he was sad and they were friends. He had to fairly judge the situation. "What is it? what happened?" He asked, softly enough. But he couldnt hide the urgency in his voice. "Tell me."

[lotus-protector-official]

“I apologise, my duties have consumed me- as I’d expected it would.”

“Nevertheless- I wish everyone here a wonderful Year of the Rabbit. May this year be a year of prosperity , safety and health. 恭喜發財，出入平安，身體健康！”

[lotus-protector-official]

How do you feel about your shifu, Taiyi Zhenren? Did you ever see him again after he sent you off to join the Zhou army?

"I still meet with him daily to hone my technique and to discuss my daily duties. I respect him immensely, especially for dealing with my temper while I freshly returned from the war."

[lotus-protector-official]

You won't remember me. And that is fine. I have ensured none of you will remember me. However, I do wish to tell you that you have been performing exceptionally. Keep up the good work, young prince.

Nezha narrowed his eyes heavily at the ask. Who was this from...? He had too much on his mind to look deeper...

"Thank,...you?"

[lotus-protector-official]

Zha works thoughtfully with a small comb, making the other nezha's hair ready to tie up back into buns. He weaves in another one of the flowers that he brought back from his trip into his xiaodi's hair. Leaning from one side to the other, he surveyed his work carefully. "And we're done, I think."

Nezha sighed. He bit his lip as his alternate self ran his hands through his messy hair a few minutes ago. The way he used the comb....it...it reminded him of his own mother. He suspected, that his own alternate self's mother. too, taught him well. It wasn't quite difficult to blink the dampness from his eyes, but....

The third prince mustered a soft smile as he reached up to his hair, which grew a bit wider as he noticed the flower.

"Thank you. Truly."

If you had a chance to have a good relationship with your brothers, would you take?

“…perhaps….though our values differ and thus we were always meant to dispute one another.”

[lotus-protector-official]

Hello, brother.

It has come to my attention that you have come into a sort of, 'scandal'. Though I highly doubt this is true, seeing as the rumors are a bit low, even for your standards, I do wish to ensure that you are ok and have not suffered any bodily harm. I have no doubt this is just another rumor, but I do advise you act with a bit more caution.

Sincerely, Li Muzha

!?!?!?

“What?? What’d I do?!”

Nezha immediately demanded, as if the mere mention of a scandal instantly brought up unwanted feelings of hostility and guilt.

He cleared his throat, taking a deep breath before fully processing what his brother (?) said, pleasant surprise setting in. Since when did his brother care?

“Thank you for the concern. I will act with caution and try and see whose grievances brought this rumours about.”

[lotus-protector-official]

“Those who abuse their position to hide from the consequences of their actions will never not enrage me. And yet I can do nothing about it. How can anyone let this stand?!”

[lotus-protector-official]

(KKDJDJSJJSJJSJSJS HELP I STILL LOVE THIS…..he going through it)

for zha’s little brother @lotus-protector-official i’m so sorry but also not sorry. this is zha’s CONSTANT mood istg but namely in our thread…………

[lotus-protector-official]

Do you have anyone who you believe to actively care for your wellbeing Nezha? You seem like you work too much...

"Your mortal standards of work do not apply to a deity like me. It is important that I do my duty so the mortal world functions as normal."

"The Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin, has compassion for everyone. And I share a sense of comradery with the heavenly soldiers."

"And even with our....previous misgivings and current quarrels, I know in my heart that my family cares for me. That is what they keep saying, anyway."

[lotus-protector-official]

How would you feel if one of your brothers broke into you house, gave you a hug and a pat on the head and then left?

"I'd think they were drunk..."

[lotus-protector-official]

I saw Jinzha planning to break into your house earlier today. If it makes you feels better, I saw some presents on his table, so he might just be trying to surprise you.

"I believe you've misread the situation...My brother Jinzha would never do that to give me a gift. And it isnt like I did anything worth a gift..."
