Tien ended up in the Tian Yue's rooms after a rather disappointing morning of people watching in the market. It was clear enough he needed the distraction from being the 'Dragon King of Paperwork' so she offered him company for a while. It was turning out to be a pleasant afternoon for the Trickster after the change of scenery and in company.
She sat on a couch, leaning against the arm with her chin resting on a hand and legs tucked up beside her. As always in his presence her mask was gone, tucked away somewhere safe. The same safe place her daggers rested, no doubt.
"Really?" She laughed and shook her head over something the Dragon King said. "You can't be serious..."

"Oh, yes, an entire elephant. Don't ask me where he found a firepit big enough to roast it. After that, I told him I would take my meals in human shape, thank you very much - much less draining on our resources." Tian Yue shook his head with a wry grin. Toki always meant well, but sometimes he went a little too far...
"Though one might make a nice feast-gift for my brothers and sister. Like a Thanksgiving dinner." That bit was plucked fully from host-memory, but he figured Tien would understand the reference.

I managed to do it I was in the building. Now I just had to find someone in the giant place. It seemed I had been knocking on doors all day. It’s only been like an hour. "That doesn't make it fun" It was suppose to be fun? "Hush” I fixed my bag on my shoulders. I continued down the hall. I stopped touching the next door. It looked almost familiar. I knocked out the tune of jeopardy none stop on the door. Just like the others door I’d give up eventually but one has to be persistent at first.
You’re just going to annoy them this way. “I said hush! Mr. God person I know your probably really busy but I need your help another God and his girlfriend Morgan!” I called at the solid door just to keep the inner voice silent.

"That it certainly would." She certainly wouldn't argue that Toki was a bit overzealous at times.
Tien's gaze flicked to the door when she heard the knocking. It took a moment to recognize that it was being done in tune, sort of, and that it seemed familiar. How odd... "I wonder who that could be." Then she heard the voice, granted it was muffled by the heavy door but...she had to be dreaming. There was no way! Surely it couldn't be her after all this time...
Clearly the goddess was very confused.

Tian Yue stilled at the sudden rhythmic pounding. His look of confusion only deepened at the words shouted through the door. "... Morgan?" he asked, looking to Tien and raising one eyebrow. "I, er, think it might be for you. Possibly. Do you want to go look?"
Xing Yun had appeared, and was waiting by the door, watching both gods, not moving to open the door quite yet. "By your hand or command, Lady Trickery," the Aoide said, bowing.
((aka... Tien can get up and open the door herself if she wants, or tell Xing Yun to XD))

"I...I'll get it." Tien slid off the couch and moved to the door, still trying to tell herself she must be dreaming. It had been years with no sign and so many deaths among mortals during the Weeks she didn't dare hope. Still, when Trickery opened the door the person on the other side was someone she never expected to see again.
Her appearance shifted unconsciously, leaving her looking quite a bit like her former host. "Ser..." The name was whispered just before the goddess collapsed in an unceremonious heap on the floor.
((Breaking post order a touch because Shawn said to and, yes, she did faint.))

Ser almost hit the person as the door opened; but she was genially surprised to see Morgan on the other side. She beamed almost ready to jump at her but when she did there was nothing to grab. She looked down at her feet finding Morgan now sleeping on the floor. “Well that is not a very happy greeting.” She said poking Morgan in the side.
Kneeling down she slipped her packsack off and undid the clasp releasing a very angry cat. She grabbed the flailing beast before it could run away. Holding to cat out to Morgan’s face, “Look who I found Morgy,” Ser chanted. “Time to rise and shine and tell us where we are”

Tian Yue blinked as Tien slumped, and the visitor produced a... a cat? That was not what the Dragon King had been expecting. At all.
... And the newcomer was calling Tien Morgy. Oh dear. This was going to be complicated, wasn't it? With an internal sigh, Tian Yue walked over to the doorway, nodding once at Xing Yun - the Aoide looked perplexed, but nodded back and stayed nearby, just in case she was needed.
"You are in the Pantheon, and I'm sure she'll be awake in a moment, and you should probably not swing an angry cat too close to anyone's face, god or not," he said, firmly. The visitor seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place either that whispered name or her face.

Ser stopped forcing the cat to play patty cake with Tien’s face, looking up at the stranger. “Morgy’s no god Mister and this can’t be the pantheon it’s smells like science class.” She little the cat go as it nuzzled up to Tien’s side. Ser stood up and bowed deeply at the waist towards the strange man. She stood staring at the man with a big smile on her face plastered on her face. “Morgy’s boyfriend is a god though and if you brought her here against her will he’ll be really mad at you. I only got to meet him once but they looked really close to each other. “
Ser looked down at Morgy still asleep on the ground. She might have hit her head! She flicked her head to one side making a sour face for a second. Fine! But what if... Ser closed her eyes shaking her head quickly before smiling up at the two inside the room again. She stepped over Tien to put herself between Morgan and the two strangers in a defensive manner. She reached out a hand to the man who had spoken to her. Her other hand clutching the bow that hung over her shoulder. “My name is Ser. It’s only proper manners to introduce yourself now isn’t it.”

Thankfully unaware of what was going on above her Tien began to stir, grumbling quietly. "No..Ser...its six am...too early for dance class." She whined softly, shook her head and swatted away imaginary hands. The irked feline was momentarily distracted by the waving hands and pounced on the goddess' chest. "No...Domino...I'll feed you later."
Wait...no...this isn't right...not anymore.
Her eyes fluttered open after a few more moments, part of her was hoping she would wake up in her bed and this had all been a very weird dream. Apparently such was not the case as she was face to face with a somewhat irate feline that looked an awful lot like her host-self's cat. Domino?
.....“My name is Ser. It’s only proper manners to introduce yourself now isn’t it.”
Trickery glanced up and sure enough an older Ser was standing there, hand poised to draw her bow. She reached out, tapping her friend on the leg to get her attention. "No need to get defensive, Ser. I will explain as best I can, but it is a long story." Her gaze drifted to Tian Yue after, hoping her expression was enough to convey that patience would be important here.

Tian Yue took the offered hand and shook it, bemused - and then, at the mention of boyfriends... well. A few things suddenly clicked into place, intensified by Tien's murmurings. So fond, so... so her, that it made a faint pang stir in the Dragon King's heart. Which was just ridiculous, really.
"I am Tian Yue - we've met, then," he said, releasing her hand. "And I suppose I would be - have been - the, er, 'boyfriend' you speak of..." By the Twin Crown himself, it was a long story. And he wasn't sure how best to tell it. He looked helplessly at Tien.

Ser claimed down dramatically at the sound of Morgan’s voice. Mostly forgetting her intent to protect her as Tien tapped her leg. “Oh...aright then, if you say so Morgy.”
She looked back at the Tian Yue; still griping his hand. Looking at him quite bemused as he stuttered over the calling himself boyfriend. “I get it know” ser said as she clasped her other hand on top of their hand shake beaming at him. “So so sorry. I did realize.” She said shaking her head laughing softly. “I should have known its husband now”

Tien's eyes went wide. Did she just say.... "Oh..Ser...its not..." Her voice just sort of died off. Really, it was Ser she should have expected something like this!

"No! No, it isn't - Tien is my friend. That's all," he said, wincing inwardly. He knew how Tien felt, and they'd had that conversation, but it probably wasn't too pleasant to hear anyway. "And, er, of course you wouldn't recognize, I've changed a great deal since the last time," he added, awkwardly.

Ser let her head fall to one side resting her shoulder. “Tien? What does your friend Tien have to do with you and Morgy?” Ser eye closed and her brow furrowed as she tried to process everything. While not letting the nagging thoughts in her mind get to her.
Her hands released Tian Yue’s and the mask of concentration was gone. She spun around and knelt down to be closer to Morgan’s level. “First do you want help up? Second translate please.”
