{He is fastidious about his appearance, brushing off imagined pieces of dust and grime with delicate hands. Runyu is not a tall man nor does he look particularly strong, yet jumping to conclusions about his abilities would be a mistake. Before you stands the Emperor of Heaven, though he earned the title through underhanded means.}

I am not practiced at welcome speeches. However I will do my best. {He clears his throat and stands with all the pride he can scrape together in this moment.} I am Runyu, son of Emperor Tai Wei and Princess Su Li. You need not fear me if you have done nothing wrong.

{His gaze sharpens as if he can detect wrongdoers through the device.}

Yet if you have committed this crime against me, I will not be merciful. You have removed the Emperor of Heaven from his duties and now hold him prisoner. Kidnap on this scale can only result in your death.

{Those are big words for someone who doesn't have an army to back him up, but Runyu is, perhaps understandably, mad. Furious, actually.}

Furthermore, if you have harmed my wife... {A chill climbs his spine. Soon, she could be his wife. He must return to her!} I will kill you myself.

{His hands curl into white fists as if he imagines snapping necks with his bare fingers. He could.}

[Each year... is only a day?

The harder Takemichi tries to conceptualize this concept, the further away he feels from it. For all the time leaping he's done, he's never had to experience a time out of sync with his own.]

Oh. Guess you'll just have to visit me for a couple minutes instead.

{Yes. Which is why a millennia or two is really no big deal.}

I will. I just hope you remember me.

Kinda hard to forget an immortal emperor who'd kill a whole army of gods if they looked at his wife wrong.

[heavensdragon]

I suppose all of that does stand out. {He chuckles and hopes, to himself, that their memories aren't wiped clean. That would be bothersome.}

[crybabyhero]

Just a bit. [Snicker.] I kinda thought that was the point.

It is useful at times. But I don't always like to be seen as...

Above. If that makes sense? It's lonely.
