Yeah. I'm glad such a diligent person has such a reliable partner.
[She keeps stroking this Servant's head, her own smile turning a little wistful before she catches herself and covers it with a bright smile.]
That title is a bit outdated, but I was, yeah. I'm still a Master, though, even if the War's over. My name is Hakuno Kishinami, pleased to meet you! I'm from a place called the Moon Cell.
[ He is diligent. He is reliable. Ah, he almost wants to be in this form forever! Only not, because Sanzang and Raikou would kick his ass. But Yan Qing does notice the slight change in her expression. Does she miss Nero and Tamamo that much? She and Ritsuka are similar in that regard. Both of them pay attention to Servants who don't quite deserve it.
Sanzang beams. ]
Then, Hakuno! Li Shuwen and Sir Gawain did mention something about a Moon Cell before... It's nice to meet you! [ She accidentally steps on her foot. You know, just to make this Sanzang authentic. ] Oh, sorry...
[ A quiet gasp escapes Sanzang as she feels her cheeks color. ]
Y-yeah, I guess so. [ Let's see if he can fish it out of Sanzang's stock knowledge. He feels like he's heard it before. ] Anicca, dukkha, anatta. Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. Those are the three marks of existence... Understanding those things is the first step to enlightenment.
[ Another gasp. ]
Hakuno, are you on your way to becoming a Buddha too!?
I have to ask, how does the whole Wukong thing factor in with your practices? Did he go vegetarian, does it not count if you aren't the one in control of the body...?
Hey, hey, don't sweat the small stuff. You're probably data from the moon and I don't ask you what that's like. I eat what I want when I want. Monkey see, monkey do! That ain't how the adage works, but you get it.
I think this song's just about over, Hakuno. Sorry for keeping ya.
[ He is quiet for once, his cheeks pink and spirit vulnerable. A Master with many Servants, just like the one from Chaldea. He didn't think he'd meet another like her, but when Hakuno pats his head without knowing anything, he believes it. ]

[She smiles, but a bit of a teasing glint comes into her eyes.]
Diligent people are cuter if they're a little clumsy from time to time, anyways. Wabi-sabi and dukkha are kind of like that, right?

[Though, those tenets do hit pretty close to home.]
But, no matter what I am or might be, it's fine to learn about these things, right?
no subject
Yeah, there's no problem with that! If we're both learning things from each other, that's enough for me. My disciples are a different story, though.

[She smiles and...
Gives him a pat on the head, as well, just as gently as the one Sanzang received. It's a bit trickier, since he's taller, but she does her best..]
Thanks for the dance, Wukong. It was fun in a lot of ways.
no subject
A-ah, yeah... You're welcome!
[ He fidgets. ]
It was fun!
