"Oh my gods, are you okay, Leader Lee Seng?" Fae asked. The strange girl in front of Lee Seng wasn't anyone he had ever met. Fae's yellow and black tail flipped into view and Lee Seng's eyes widened. He looked over to Keng who smiled.

"We're in Daros." Keng smiled. "I told you this before."

"Everyone's told him." Fae reminded Keng. "They didn't mention his assistant was a Fox Spirit, though." Fae set the drink on the night stand and took a couple steps back. "I guess this is the first time you're officially seeing me. My name is Fae. I come from the Jungles to the East. I'm a Savior-in-training." Fae bowed and Lee Seng looked at Keng and then back to Fae and then back to Keng.

"You'll never believe how—" Keng began to say as a knock came to the door.

"Fae! I thought I told you to get the Leader. Why are you taking so lo—" A tall young woman stepped into the room bega nto say when her eyes landed on an awake Lee Seng. "Holy ass of Rox'su. YOU'RE AWAKE! AHHHH!" The young woman rushed to Lee Seng, practically tackling him with a hug.

"Lily, he's fragile! Don't kill him!" Keng shouted. He moved in to pull Lily away from Keng.

"I can't believe you're awake! Oh my gods, I prayed every night you would wake up! Ahhhh, I could cry right now!" Lily sniffled. She pulled away and looked at the confused Lily. Lee Seng looked at Keng and Keng smiled.

"Yeah, uh… This is Lily." Keng motioned. Lee Seng looked over to Lily, eyes still wide. "She grew up! She's an adult now. Tada!"

"Wao." Lee Seng barely managed to let out. He leaned in to study Lily and looked at Keng, nodding. "Wao."

"Mmhm." Keng smiled. He patted Lee Seng, who made barely audible groaning noises.

"Leader! Don't hurt him! He has just woken up!" Fae shouted. Lee Seng twiched and Lily rolled her eyes.

"You're hurting his ears. Shush!" Keng shouted.

"Here we go…" Lily sighed. She straightened her self out and looked at the both of them. "You two are both hurting him! Shut up!"

"I can't believe you yelled at me!" Keng pointed. "I'm the Leader here!"

"I'm your right hand! My say goes!" The two began to argue. Fae was shocked by all of this. It was the first time she's seen any of this.

"You're the one who yelled!" Keng pointed at Lily.

"You're yelling at me to stop yelling! You should shut your mouth first!" Lily shouted. The two fought over Lee Seng who was struggling to even push them away. Fae sighed and lifted her finger up. Vines flew up from the ground and pushed the two away from each other.

"Let's not fight in front of the Leader, alright?" Fae spoke loudly. "I'm sure his ears are going to BLEED from all the yelling." Fae put her finger to her lips and scolded her two superiors. Lily and Keng sighed and looked at away from each other.

'Such a strange sight.' Fae thought.

'I stink.' Lee Seng's thoughts reached Fae. 'How do I ask them for a bath?'

"Leader Lee Seng wants a bath?" Fae asked. Lee Seng looked at Fae in shock. "How did I know? I'm very telepathic. Like… too telepathic."

'Waooo~' Lee Seng thought as he nodded.

"He wants a bath?" Keng asked.

"Yup." Fae nodded. "I'll start the bath outside and then tell everyone the news."

"Nononono!" Lily shook her head. "We should surprise them! Put the instant regeneration bath on! It should help give him all the strength he needs to go to Mom's!"

"Alright." Fae nodded. She dismissed the vines and bowed at all of her superiors before leaving to make the bath. Lily and Keng smiled as they looked at Lee Seng.

"I can't believe she could telepathically read you! Why didn't we think of this?" Keng asked, giddily.

"You're an idiot who's 'doom and gloom.' You should really fix your style. You look like a hobo." Lily motioned. She moved to sit on the stool to Lee Seng's left and grabbed his hand. Lee Seng looked at her and smiled.

'So, you are Lily?' Lee Seng asked.

"Mmhm." Lily nodded. "Never would've thought, huh?"

'Was I out for like six years or something? You look like an adult.'

"A couple cycles have passed here. Hybrids start to age faster when they're kids. I've finished the aging cycle and it's slowing now. I'll look like this for a bit and then age like a human according to the Earth cycle."

'Oh.' Lee Seng nodded.

"Welp, let's get you to the bath!" Keng grabbed Lee Seng and lifted him up. "Get the blanket." Lily nodded and pulled the blanket off. Keng rounded the bed and with Lily's help, got him down the stairs of the strange house and out to the back. Fae had already got the bath up and running and was in the middle of adding the last bits of materials.

"All done?" Lily asked, stepping out after Keng and Lee Seng. They moved to the edge of the outdoor bath. Keng sat Lee Seng down and started to pull his clothes off.

"Basically. Needs a stir." Fae made a stirring motion and watched as vines grew out of the ground and stirred the water.

'Whoa! Not with the girls around!' Lee Seng told Keng. Keng smiled and held Lee Seng's half-pulled off shorts.

"C'mon, they've seen everything already. Especially Fae." Keng smiled, ripping the shorts off of Lee Seng. Lee Seng moved to cover his parts, falling backwards.

"Oh!" Lily shouted. Lee Seng froze mid-air as Keng stood up. He flipped Lee Seng and set him in the bath. Keng chuckled as Lee Seng tried to turn and glare at Keng.

"My bad! I thought you would stay put. I didn't think you'd have any energy in you." Keng smiled. He sat at the edge and rubbed his smiling face in Lee Seng's face.

'Get away from me, asshole!' Lee Seng's eyes rolled away from Keng.

"I'm sorry! I just… I've missed you that's all."

"Missed me… I wasn't even… Asleep that long…" Lee Seng quietly spoke. Keng's smile faded. He sighed and shifted into a small fox. He sat on the edge and looked at Lee Seng.

"It's been… almost two cycles…" Keng sighed.

"R-really…?"

"You should rest your voice, Leader." Fae rounded over. She handed him a drink. "Drink this. This is an herbal remedy that will help fix your throat while the bath does the rest on your body. Naturally, you'll probably wanna take it light until then…"

"He needs to come eat with us! We should really celebrate!" Lily excitedly said. "It's only natural."

"I agree." Keng nodded. "We'll take him over. I'm pretty sure Mama Wang ha something easy for him to eat."

"This easiest thing would be porridge." Mama Wang spoke.

"Mom. What're you doing here?" Lily asked as Fae, Lily and Keng turned. Mama Wang sighed as she descended the steps.

"I was wondering what was taking so long so I came over here myself. The rest are enjoying drinks with your father. I guess they'll be thrilled when they see their friend awake." Mama Wang motioned. She made her way over to Lee Seng, so he could see her and waved at him. "It's good to see you up. I'm glad I can officially meet Keng's twin. I'm Mama Wang. Call me Lady or Mama, it doesn't matter. Mrs. Wang is fine, too."

"H-Hello…" Lee Seng bowed his head. Mama Wang bowed back to him and smiled. She turned her attention to her grown daughter and the rest of the group.

"You two young ladies should come with me. Leave the men alone. Don't want to get any funny ideas, hm?" Mama Wang grabbed Lily and Fae and pulled them over to the back door. "Leave them alone to talk. The others will be ecstatic when they find out anyways. Come come, my daughter needs to eat and Fae has been working so hard today. Eat eat!"

"Mom!" Lily groaned.

"Yes, ma'am!" Fae smiled.

"Funny, huh?" Keng asked, shifting back into a human. He pulled his clothes off and hopped into the bath. He sat next to Lee Seng and smiled at him. "Mama Wang has been like that cause her only daughter is home. You should wait until she see's Philip in a couple days. She'll be ballistic again."

Lee seng turned to look at Keng and studied him. Facial hair didn't fit Keng. Keng's long hair also didn't really fit him, either. He looked like an emo and at least Keng answered that  for him.

'I would like bad.' Lee Seng nodded.

"Hm?" Keng raised his eyebrows.

'I forgot you can hear me.' Lee Seng chuckled. A tightness grew in his chest and Lee Seng sucked in ragged breaths. Keng scooted over and helped Lee Seng catch his breath.

"Easy. It's not going to get better all at once. This will help us get you over to everyone else and surprise them at least." Keng smiled.

'So I'm hearing therapy?' Lee Seng asked.

"Probably. Soak it all up while you can, boy! You're gonna get whipped back into shape! We should cut your hair and remove all that facial hair. You like horrible!" Keng motioned.

'Cut yours too then. You look horrible.'
