- 73 [Action]

[Anyone passing by house #8 today will see an old man sitting in a nice wooden rocking chair, situated on the porch. He seems to be enjoying the weather. There may be clouds overhead, but it's still a nice temperature. His cane is leaning against the wall next to him. Anyone familiar with Yuan will recognize him, as it's hard to mistake that bright blue hair. It may have a few grey streaks, but aside from that it's barely changed.

Is he... sleeping? Sure looks like it. Then again, he may just be faking it.]

[[AU info can be found here, but it's not very elaborate or surprising.]]

[Halfway across, he'll stop and stare at the figure on the porch. There's something vaguely familiar about him, he just can't quite put his finger on it.]

[Yuan's perfectly aware he's being observed. However, he hopes to be as nonchalant as possible. If Ratatosk is affected like everyone else, he won't remember Yuan being old. Sadly, if everyone else was able to identify him, Ratatosk would be able to do the same.

Keeping a low profile seems like the best option right now, yes. Yuan coughs a few times, not meeting the spirit's gaze.]

[Ratatosk may be an ancient summon spirit, but like hell he's going to forget the face of one of those who betrayed him, even if said face is a lot older than he last remembers it being.]

... you. You look familiar.

[... Uhoh.]

That isn't surprising. I've been in this village for two and a half years, according to the Luceti calendar.

... did you always look like that? I remember seeing someone who looked sort of like you, but he was a lot younger.

This is what old men look like. [And that's what he is. Old. So there.]

Yeah, but you look older than old. In fact, I'd say you look downright ancient.

[He sees what you did there, Ratatosk!] No need to get smart with me, kid! I'm aware of my looks.
