 Just don't think about it.
Not that easy, actually.
He'd been all but ushered out of his rooms by two worried aoidei, so now the dragon king was outside. Having other things to focus on did help, just a little bit - he'd gone to his wellspring and was now tending to it - as much as it could be tended to, really. The trickle was still rather small, but a basin had been built around it, allowing water to accumulate more easily and fill the bottle he held in his hands with more ease.
He really wished to figure out who had made this...

Ifan was feeling rather more hopeful than he had been the day he arrived at the Pantheon. It was a strange place, like, a dream. It went against everything that he had ever believed. Many gods, living among mortals like this?
Still, he had managed to find some like-minded mortals to explain things to him. Now, as he was settled with the promise of help recovering and fixing his jeep he felt he could relax a bit more, do some real research into the resources and the people of the camps.
He wandered through the gardens, they were really beautiful. He could appreciate that, even coming from a city of factories as he did.

Eventually, he did notice something important.
He wasn't alone. There was someone else in the gardens - not that this was a strange thing in itself, no. A mortal, from the looks of it.
Hm, was he looking for something ? "Good morning." He offered.

Ifan stopped at the greeting and gave the creature that had offered it a smile. He wondered if they were a god. They had a feeling about them, like Phaedre. Though they were clearly not human so the feeling might be that.
"Morning." He walked over, glancing at the trickling fountain. "Looks broken." He observed.

Broken ? Well, he mused, in a way this was true. Next to what he could have once created, this was broken.
"No, not broken." He said, simply. "Just... potential, yet."
To think, that it might have been so much more, if only...
He tried to ignore that thought the best he could.
"What brings you here ?" He asked, idly. It was obvious that while the body was still very female, the voice was nowhere near it.

"My transport broke down." Ifan replied simply as he tried to make them out. His guess would be female, just with a deep voice. She wouldn't be the first he'd met. Sal who ran the 'Spanner in the Works' pub sounded like a man, though that was a lot to do with her smoking habit.
"Phaedre brought me here to get some help." He smiled and held his hand out "I'm Ifan Jones. Engineer and wanderer."

Phaedra, hmm. "I see... That sounds rather inconvinent. Are you looking for someone to repair it ?" Well, he'd certainly had found the wrong god for that. Through there certainly was someone who could fix it somewhere around the pantheon, which did seem to attract all sorts.
"I am Xun Jiang." He said with a nod, accepting the outstretched hand and raising back on his feet. He did not sound like an host... Should he reveal himself fully, or would that only confuse him ?

"Oh, I can fix it myself, I just need the parts. Though I've found someone who can help me with that. I'm just exploring a bit. Seeing what this part of the world has to offer."
he shook the woman's? hand and gave a friendly smile.
"So, do you live here, in the Pantheon?" That was still a strange word. "I've noticed not a lot of people are from round here."

"Oh, I see..." Well, good for him, no ? Really, he didn't understand machines, over all. All he had to do was shift and he could go nearly everywhere he wanted !
"Indeed, many people live here. I do, too." He nodded, withdrawing his hand after the shake. Then he decided that he might as well cut straight to the point. "After Gehenna, many sought refuge here... And many are still rebuilding." But he would know what, wouldn't he ?
"Is there anything in particular you wanted to see ?"

"Gehenna?" The word was unfamiliar to him, though that did not mean he had not experienced it. His people were recovering too. Though they had not been as badly hit as some. "Um, well. I was wondering if there was a market near here, or somewhere I might get some parts? I spoke to some of the other mortals near here. They said most of the machines and vehicles decayed beyond repair."

Oh, of course he would not know. But really, how to explain. "Remember how things went wrong, a few years ago ? That was Gehenna." He really hoped the mortal wouldn't ask for more information - information he would largely be unable to provide, having not been reborn in that time. He had been... in between, perhaps. After the failed host, but before the successful one.
"There is a market, through I do not know if it will hold what you seek." Well, he seemed aware of the existence of gods, at least. Why the split, otherwise ? "I have been there, through, if you need to know the way."

"Oh." he replied simply, so all the things that had been happening had a name? He guessed, as this was the home of the gods then this must be true. It all still seemed a bit surreal.
"Yes, I'd like to know the way thank you. I need to get the car fixed so i can get back. My sister will worry about me if I'm gone too long."

"This way, then." Ti Lung nodded, then started to walk - in complete ease in spite of being bare-footed. He liked the feel of the grass against his feet, and rocks and other hard surface had stopped being bothersome a long time ago.
And, well... That was one less thing destroyed if he had to wear scales in an hurry.
His sister ? Ah, he could relate to that. "Siblings do worry a little easily, sometimes..." Sometimes unwarranted, through his brother's worries about his absence had not been so.

"My sister always worries." he smirked a little and followed after Xun. "But she knows I'll be fine. I never let her down." He glanced down at the man? woman's? feet. Barefoot. He decided to ask a bold question.
"Are you a god too?"

"Try having seven brothers and one sister." Was the amused reply, followed by a chuckle. Well, it was less than that, with some of them with wereabouts unknown. He would much rather deal with all the fussing and have a full brotherhood, really.
Through, Ifan was doing a great job distracting him from his worries so far. "Ah, yes. I am." He said, rather causally. "You'd have to forgive me for not informing you, then - I was not aware of how much you might know."
And he had not wanted to unwittingly chase his newfound company away.
