The house before you is a single floor home in an strange mixed style of architecture that suits, very well, it's strange owner. Although adapted slightly to fit the occasionaly brutal weather, the archetecture is overall a mix of Japanese and Chinese influence, heavily leaning toward the Japanese, with long 'prows' extending from under the roof on either end, elaborately carved into dragons heads. Foo-Dogs crouch either side of the walk way a male and female pair as is traditional, and Snow lanterns decorate the yard, though it doesn't look as though the stone structures have been lit in some time.
Through the front sliding doors is an open layout with sliding screen doors and open round 'windows' peering between many of the rooms. A modern sound system and game systems hooked up with a large television look politely off with the traditional decor, and the shelves of the book cases are scattered with an combination of art books, eastern philosophy, and stacks on stacks of manga. The bed room, in the back of the house, opens onto the garden, and the bed, an matress on the floor in a western parody of the eastern style, is overhung by an mosquito netting, the uper frame of which is hung with paper cranes, small prayer scrolls...and an strange collection of anime-character charms. Likewise the walls are hung with both modern posters, block prints from another age, and a few painted masks.

Shen strolls up the path calmly, letting one hand troll across the fierce and snarling head of the foo dog in passing, a smile playing on his mouth as he continues up to open the door for Flaim. "What do you think? There's an bath house too, connected to, but separate from the main building. Japanese style, enjoyable, if you get used to it..."

Flaim glazed at the building from the side walk following the tip of the roof to the brows and dragon heads. His glazed flickered from the dragon heads, to the foo dogs, and the snow lanterns. "Well it suites you I have to say that." He said moving to catch up Shen. "It's lovely." He smiled. "Japaness style bath?" He questioned looking up at Shen.

"Yes...you wash up outside of the bath, scrub off, wash off the soap with cool water...then there's a hot bath to soak in after, so that the water stays clean. The floor is tiled, there's a fire beneath to help heat the water. Quite spectacular afair really..." He says, stretching languidly. "I can't say I've ever seen anything that improves on it in my opinion. Though it can be a little hot for some peoples tastes..." He smiles slightly at this. "I'm glad you like it...the bedroom is this way...we can pick some clothing..."

"Hmmm it sounds quite wonderful. Perhaps latter we can bathe in there after we go out." He glanced around as he followed Shen to the bedroom slightly nervouse. The bedroom was rather personal. "If you don't mind?"

"Of course." Shen smiles as he steps into the bedroom. "I don't mind in the slightest..." He steps over toward a large inlayed wardrobe and swings it open. If theres anything here he's trying to hide it doesn't show in the slightest as he sifts through a broad variety of outfits. Several photos and an open letter, all very old looking, have been taped to the inside of the black laquered wood, one figure standing out in particular in an grainy old fashioned photo. A rabbit anthro so similar in appareance to Shen as to be his twin, were his hair not stark black, and worn up in the dramatic knot of a samurai. His smile too, has an polite nobility absent in Shen's predatory flashes of amusement, but there's some of that in it too, in this faded sepia toned photo.

Flaim glanced at the outfits before his glazed wandered to the pitcure. He glazed at the old sepia tone photo. It looked a lot like Shen but the hair was different and the polite look was a lot different then Shen smiles. "Is that your brother?" He questioned glazing back at him watching Shen go threw the outfits.

"His name is Long SiHung..." is the cryptic answer. "Thats from the Meiji era...right about the time that Japan began to open it's doors to the west...right around the time of the Civil War..." He smiles slightly. "So probably not my brother...interesting though isn't it?" He pulls out an sort of open jacket made of heavy brocaded silk in dark colors, blue grey flames dancing across a charcoal field. "Try that on...it's worn open..."
((there's a name for that kind of coat but I can't remember what it is...))

"It is he looks so very much like you." Flame glanced at the coat shrugging out of his blanket and reached over taking it running his fingers across the heavy silk. "It's soft." He murred before trying it on carefully. It was cool on his skin. "I like it." It was open and easy to move in.

"Good..." Shen nods, reaching back into the wardrobe. "lets see what we can find to go with it..." He glances sidelong at the photo again with a twitch of a smile. "It's so very strange isn't it? It's like looking at a picture of yourself and not remembering where it was or who it was taken with, even though you feel as though you -should- know..."

"If they had photos of my past, I would be doing that alot." Flaim shrugged brushing his cheek against the soft silk. He grinned and twirled slowly in it watching the helm bellow out. "I don't think my tribe had cameras it wouldn't of matter anyways really." He glazed at Shen. "This isn't enough?"

"Much as it's adorible to watch you flaunt, the blanket sort of clashes with the coat." He laughs, pulling out a loose pair of pants of black cloth. "Modified Hakima...they're meant to make it look as though you're floating when you walk." he says, draping them over one arm. "Needless to say they're loose...I think you'll find them comfortable..., and I think they'd suit you."

Flaim giggled and glazed at the pants. He gave a small squirm unsure about them. He played with a strand of hair. "I'll try them." He said glazing at the pants after listening to Shen slightly intrested. Float as you walk?

Shen held up the pair as he takes a few graceful steps aruond the room. "They conseal the movement of your legs and feet....samurai wore something similar sometimes. It made it more difficult for people to read the movements of an attack, and secondarily...it was beautiful. Thats a trait I love...functionality combining with beauty perfectly..." He pets the cloth softly with one hand before offering it back out.

Flaim took the pants carefully feeling the fabric before he stepped in them dressing himself feeling rather akward. They fitted around his hips and the fabric floated around his flesh. He took a tentive step towards Shen eyes on the rabbit face."How do I look?"
