Muoh Li was a wise man, Byeoung-Keon knew. He was only a mere boy, hardly considered a full-fledged adult when he had only walked this planet for eighteen years, the first two spent as a mindless baby that bawled and cried, completely defenseless. On the other hand, the doctor had experienced many situations, made difficult decisions that BK could not even fathom at the moment.
So it came as no surprise to the teenager when the adult’s casual, not-so-pressured remarks slowly won him over. Still a child, the thrown-together reasons easily persuaded Byeoung to agree to the man’s suggestion.
“Very well.” There was a hint of displeasure hidden in his formal tone, though it was actually more towards the trouble the flower may lead to than having to accept the thing itself. “I suppose I’ll take the lotus.” A faltering smile appeared on his lips, unaware of whether this was the right decision or not. “What harm could it do?”

Indeed, what harm could it do.
Muoh Li had been acting on instinct thus far. For him, it just felt right for the teen to take the lotus, but at the same time, a tiny voice at the back of his head whispered, what if he was wrong. What if... what if...... Lien Si's words quickly drowned out the hesitation, echo-ing quietly.
"The Tao works in strange ways," He could almost see the glint of moonlight on Lien Si's blue eyes as the immortal slowly turned to face him, "If things were meant to be, thus things shall be."
Muoh Li smiled, clapping his hands together, "Splendid! A symbol of our acquaintance. Speaking of the lotus..." He looked around, then held up one slender finger gesturing for Byeoung to wait for a moment before hurrying into the back room. The doctor emerged soon with a basket of incense in every color and any scent one could imagine.
"Why don't you take a pack of incense with you as well?" Setting the basket down beside the counter lightly, Muoh Li added, "and after you're done, assuming you're not in a hurry to meet some other appointment, would you be so kind as to tell me what these items I've received are?"
