[ the smile on his face takes on a little mischief - and shen qingqiu can feel the spark of his emotions. they've been very subdued up to this point, but they take on a very certain kind of Interest, subtly layered underneath something playful. ]
It's a shame our options are limited... still, I think we can put together something nice for you. Maybe something just as elegant, if a little more updated.
[ he smiles - his emotions do bubble pleased at the idea. off to sears we go! ] Believe it or not, there's a whole movement towards wearing modernized hanfu, nowadays. I own a couple of them myself, though it's usually a little too flowy for my tastes.
Time and fashion are a great circle. Trends always come around eventually, even if its centuries later.
[ not to make shen qingqiu feel old or anything. he will lead him off to the sears. ] But some things stay the same. Luo Wenzhou's supervisor told me once I ought to cut my hair to be a little more upstanding.
[ he looks over his shoulder at that, and winks, playful. ] What a strange world.
[ he feels old just by surrounded by these kids it's fine ]
Hah! To think such would occur.
[ you could only imagine what would happen if he were to return to modern Beijing. his scholarly look certainly would just get jeered at and referred to as playing dress up. what a weird thing to thing consider. there's a minor sense of loss that bubbles up but he pops that before it goes too far ]
Yet truly, the changes that happen as time passes remain quite fascinating. What is chosen to return and what is lost to history... To watch that perhaps, will be quite the journey.
[ hmmm. that feeling of loss is interesting. fei du doesn't react to it, short of an eyebrow raise, but otherwise doesn't say anything, just leading the way into the fashion section. off they go. ]
Mmm. It's like talking to someone from a C-drama. [ teasingly. ] That's right. You're immortal, aren't you?
[ it's fine. clearly, it was just a blip in the metaverse ]
Ha! A drama character. [ that's unfortunately accurate actually ] But indeed, this one has cultivated immortality. One would imagine it would be quite easy to exist hidden in the mountains until enough time has passed to surprise an unsuspecting friend in the future.
[ you know. outside the whole being stuck in a novel setting so they're probably not actually gonna make it all the way back to modern times??? airplane bro pick up your vibes he suddenly has questions.
[ C-CLEARLY THERE ARE C DRAMA STORIES EVEN IN YE OLDE TEA HOUSES. HAHA. HAHAHAHA- ]
Indeed, one must admit when things are quiet, time matters little. [ however, things are never quiet. rip ] To watch the seasons pass by without concern is certainly one of the better benefits.

It truly feels strange to think of how short human time is when years pass by so quickly. What once was can change within a blink of an eye.
