Secret gifts in the night are a courting ritual in his part of the Middle Kingdom. He frowns in thought for a while, and eventually he comes to the conclusion that it is probably not meant that way here. He picks it up and moving a little way aways he plays a few quite tunes. Its been a while since he has played, and he is relieved that he manages not to embarrass himself.His face lights up when Tatlock explains the meaning of the inscription."Yes yes. The rain make monkey wet!"Xiao is rather chestfallen at Tatlock's blank look. Xiao stumbles through an explaination, something about rain and bad time, monkey not liking rain cos they don't like being wet, unless it is in winter when the monkey sit in the hot water pools but thats different and anyway wet monkey get all sullen and hide in the branches and caves and how monkey is not a good friend not that anyone really has a monkey as a friend but where Xiao come from to call friend a monkey means that are not true friend when it rains.Xiao gets to the end of his explaination and grins hopefully at Tatlock.***As the city hoves into view, Xiao stops and takes a moment to gaze upon the it. Its so different from the cities he is used to. Messy, and squat looking, in his eyes. And drab. But as they get to the gates, his nose and ears remind him that certain things remain the same, the world over.Xiao's attention is all over the place as they walk through the town. His head goes this way and that as he constantly gets distacted by one thing or another. He only just manages to avoid walking into his companions (or their horses) on several occasions.ooc: <a href="http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Xiao#160356" target="_blank">Perform 16</a>, <a href="http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Xiao#160351" target="_blank">Spot 14</a>, <a href="http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Xiao#160352" target="_blank">Listen 29</a>.
