Pets can shame their humans too

[The camera is a little shaky as it moves through corridors, twisting and turning. Whoever this mysterious poster is he is moving slowly, as if he were exploring somewhere dangerous and frightening.

There is a noise in the background and as the phone gets closer it is recognisable as singing. The phone moves around a door to a kitchen where Shen Wei can be found at a chopping board surrounded by various ingredients, meat and vegetables.

He is singing as he works. In full flow of the song. There's a soft laugh from whoever this mysterious individual with access to Shen Wei's temple might be.

The image fades and refocusing, clearly later. Or another day. It's hard to say but the camera is now at a different angle, as if the filmer might be in a tunnel, or hidey hole close to the ground.

This time Shen Wei at the oven, frying meat, boiling noodles and once again he is singing as he works.

The footage is posted with just a single line in text.]

See he is not as stuffy and strict as he makes out to be!

[There's only two people Ginia can think of that would be at Shen Wei's temple, secretly record him, and post it on the network.

The only reason Ginia doesn't immediately suspect Zhao is because he doesn't seem to be the kind of person that would bother posting anonymously. Also the camera is suspiciously low and Da Qing is a cat.]

What a great voice!

He should be on stage.

But should I be worried that he only sings the villain parts?

[unlucky7]

Agreed. Think he's shy about people knowing he sings well?

I say it depends. Does he have an evil laugh too?

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Now you mention it. His laugh is quite villainous.

[Was this Shen Wei's dark secret? That he was a musical theatre villain?]

It's a good job you had me to warn you.

[unlucky7]

Hold on, we can't judge him for his laugh alone.

Is he someone pone to posing dramatically?

[cloakedinruins]

[ Just. This. Face. As in he spotted the cat and is now just looking down at him and his phone camera. ]

[thetopofthefoodchain]

[Ah. Well.

Da Qing transforms back, smiles up at him, and casually puts the phone in his pocket. Nothing to see here.]

Shen Wei! I was just...

Checking for mice. I hear they get into everything and I wouldn't want all of Yeye's hard work to be ruined.

[cloakedinruins]

[ Continues to watch him, one eyebrow rising even as he snorts in disbelief. ]

Checking for mice. [ He crouches down, tossing his hand towel over his shoulder. ] With your phone.

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Documenting evidence is important. [Said with complete sincerity. Clearly he was only protecting this temple from the evils of mice. What else would he be doing?]

[cloakedinruins]

Is that how a cat hunts mice? [ Clearly he is still unimpressed even though a smile it threatening to take over his face. It was so ridiculous that he had to laugh. ]

Somehow, I doubt it.

How unusual, to hear German here!

[ D2 didn't even know that anyone besides him spoke it. Though, of course, it's always possible to sing words without knowing what they mean. Nonetheless, how nice. ]

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Is that what language it was in? [He'd got as far as not Japanese and that was it. He'd wondered if it had been whatever language Shen Wei had spoken before he became a god.]

I had been wondering.

[smilingbullet]

It is! It's really unexpected to come across so casually.

[ Not usually, but here. ]

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Well Shen Wei knows so many things, I'm not surprised he can speak different languages.

[smilingbullet]

Yeah? It's great to do so, the more languages that you know the more useful it is. So good for him!

[yasei]

Oooh, applause!

[ He did not need to say that, since he's applauding. It's audible, Obi's applause. ]

[thetopofthefoodchain]

He's good isn't he.

[yasei]

He is! It sounds really nice, you should show him off doing it more.

[thetopofthefoodchain]

I should. I think he's a little shy about it but hopefully when he reads about how people like his singing he won't be as much.

[yasei]

[ Unless he gets angry. ]

Encouragement is very important, after all. I'm sure he'll be all for performing on purpose with enough of it.

Hey, who would ever think he's just stuffy and strict!!! He obviously has a super cute side, it's clear as day!!

[ Not even minding the clear home invasion going on there.. ]

I didn't know he liked singing too though, that's so nice!

Re: text;

[thetopofthefoodchain]

He's really good at it as well.

[She has clearly not been on the receiving end of one of Shen Wei's long looks, the kind that tell you you are in Trouble.

But he has a sweet side to, more people should know about it.] Do you know him well then?

[reloves]

I don't know if I should call it "well" yet.. We haven't talked that much yet, just here and there! [ Minako just gets friendly easily with people. Very, very easily. ] But just from those moments alone, he's always been super friendly! He's so cute with his boyfriend too.

[thetopofthefoodchain]

Almost too cute. They are always flirting with each other.

[What's a cat to do with two lovesick humans? Except tease them mercilessly.]

Yunlan's not bad though, I think he's a good influence on Shen Wei.

[reloves]

[ That first sentence is slowly making something click in Minako's mind. Maybe there are some good things about this odd home invasion person. ]

You mean you've seen them flirt in person?! I need details!
