((Route)) [029] Video/Action Goldenrod [China's Bday]

[gochuugoku]

[Today is October 10 and it is drizzling in Johto. China can be seen walking around Goldenrod, holding a red umbrella over his head. His Glaceon, Meimei, happily jumps into puddles as she follows her master. China looks into the various shop windows until something in the music shop catches his eye.]

Oh! They actually have one, aru!

[He smiles and bows his head slightly.]

Xie xie, Lucifer.

I hope my skill with the guzheng hasn't gone rusty, aru.

[redeyesforpride]

It was quite an excellent performace. I wasn't aware that you knew how to play an instrument.

[China rubs the back of his neck.]

I've had more than enough time to learn and practice, aru. The guzheng is not the only instrument I can play either.

[Then a question pops into his head.]

When is your birthday, Lucifer?

Oh? Is yours also on October tenth, then?

[can_do_idol]

Yep! It's funny, it seems like there's a lot of 'em, huh?

[gochuugoku]

Yes, I am surprised to see so many people with October birthdays in October, aru!

My name is Wang Yao, by the way. What is yours?

[ ... and the bowing just... naturally makes tezuka bow his head a bit as well. just for politeness' sake. it was the other's birthday, after all. ]

You played well.

[gochuugoku]

[He chuckles.]

Thank you again. It's just been so long since I last played the guzheng, aru. I could not resist once I saw it. Too bad I won't be able to purchase it, though.

[gochuugoku]

Well, back home I would with my family and friends, but here Johto everyone is kind of scattered at the moment, aru.

That would be nice, though.

[gochuugoku]

It happens, aru. There are always plenty more holidays for us to get together. Chinese New Year, for example!
