That's... a lot to take in and he glances down at the pond again. "It's real?" he questions, it's unbelievable but it just all feels surreal. He can hardly be blamed for a little disbelief about it.
"I can," he confirms, though, exhaling. "Thank you..."
"It's real. And it will remain. A spell just for you. This might be the most fertile spot in your garden now. I hope it grows what you want."
But he smiles. At least he could do this one good thing. And the guy seems REALLY happy about it so that's good too. For the first moment he almost feels good about all of this.
"I don't have anything I can do like this for you," Huaisang says, words
don't feel like enough to return his gratitude. He still remembers how much
his friend had loved his home at Lotus Pier in Yunmeng, had loved the Lotus
that grew and their seeds. Now he would have a piece of that friend.
"So?" Billy asks, genuinely confused as he tilts his head at Huaisang. "I... could probably use clothes that people here won't have problems with. Bet you know some tailors to make some really nice stuff? This is just what I can do."
And his gift. If he's going to be a part of this place, he neds to offer the man what he deserves in a partner.
Huaisang smiles and he glances over the other. He does like Billy's clothes
as odd as they are but people don't really understand them maybe with time.
However, making an effort to connect with their culture can go along way.
"I can have some robes made for you," he nods, eyes mirthful at the idea.
"Daoist magic and astronomy," Huaisang answers, leading him back to where the food is. "I'm quite the disappointment. The Nie Sect wield blades and our blades have spirits and that is where we cultivate our magic. Martial arts is what is respected here."
Huaisang smiles. This...may not be so bad after all. Billy really does seem
like a good man, one he could like and one who he thinks would treat him
well even given their circumstances.

“That is a kindness you do me, my dear,” he says, trying to be polite and formal. He isn’t very good at this, okay?

Huaisang smiles at him.. He's good enough. He's cute.
"Do you think you can eat now?"
no subject
“Yes. I think I am. But be patient with me, I’m not familiar with your foods. Teach me how to eat them right if I’m doing it wrong.”

"I'd be happy to show you then."
Good closing point?
And he starts into the food. Too bad he's horrible with chopsticks.
