OutOfArrows:Here.
Opening the intricately designed doors of the Gandan Khiid monastery a cool wind caressed the face of the personification; like a woman welcoming her lover from a conflict that took him away from her for many years. Bringing the fresh perfume of the plants nearby that grew along the edges of the stone paved road,and taking some of those plant's leaves away, luckily, none hitting the man in the face.Not that he would minded.For he welcomed her, and as such, he took all of her.Good and bad.
The man rubbed his forehead with two fingers, catching the warm moist perspiration that ran down his forehead;which accumulated as he watched the golden gilded statue of Avalokiteśvara, lost in the memory of how this very monastery survived one of his old leader's plans of destruction, when the brother's of this very building did not. Feeling nostalgic because of it he also read one of the many pieces of old work salvaged from the time before Choibalsan.
Before the Qing.
Before even that.
Pacing down the road that led out of the monastery the man spared looks to what he passed by,taking in the view held before him with a small smile.
Young monks in robes of gold and red walked calmly on the stone road,their boots thrumming gently as they went to either prepare for the ceremonies at the Ochidara Temple for the tourists, or to simply speak with some of them.Gentle eyes looking at everyone they lay on with something akin to adoration, and speaking in hushed calm tones that soothed all that listened to them.
Small children ran to and fro, eyes shining brightly and cheeks probably hurting from their lips raising up so much as they happily chased after the many pigeons; which lazed about in content, until startled at least. Then small caws would escape sharp beaks and wings would flap; giving the sound of a whirring helicopter as they took to the skies, only to go to the other side of the road.Where the result would only be the same.
Eyes closed, the male sighed in content.'Ahh...peace..'
That peace however, was shattered by words that usually held questioning laced with venom, and rather; the presence he felt.
Opening his eyes and immediately stepping back he found himself looking toward an oddity.
A chinese oddity.
Scrunching his eyebrows together narrowed eyes roamed the man up and down,taking in the appearance.
He knew he recognized the clothing.How could he not?
He saw it more often than he liked. However, it was worn by females...
This one is not.
After hearing the man speak again the personification gave a dubious look. "If you needed help, you could have asked the abbot.He is forced to help you,not I. So give me a reason why I should."
The Mongolian crossed his arms, an eyebrow raised in waiting. "Unless you have governmental or company business there is nothing I need to help you with."
