[ Huh. That's... interesting. Stephen takes a second to wonder whether he might have come through the veil without noticing, but even if that were the case he's not a usual sight. He should be more of a shock to behold.

Present company is accustomed to this sort of thing. ]

I see. [ Hell is pressing, but first this mystery. ] Are you a medium? A sorcerer?

[scrapgege]

Ah, no, not really.

[Xie Lian scratches his head, looking a little embarrassed.]

I'm a Heaven Official. I guess you could say a god?

You're not a ghost but I didn't realize anyone among us could do astral projections like that.

[ A god. Well, at least this isn't the first time he's run into one of those. With the revelation provided, Stephen settles a little, eases into the interaction. ]

Surprise. [ A brief jazz hand - here he is, astral projecting. ] Nothing as impressive as a god, I'm a sorcerer.

I wasn't expecting to be spotted. Sorry for sneaking around.

[ He's doesn't sound that sorry really, but it's the thought that counts. ]

[scrapgege]

It's alright. It's not like you could have known.

[he tends not to trumpet the fact, after all. And he is significantly crippled by the cursed shackles at the moment, even if that doesn't impede on his ability to see spirits and sense qi.]

Did you see anything familiar ?
