I.
Luo Binghe has nothing in particular against people who've failed to join with the Kenoma. But he also doesn't have any integrity, and he wants to make sure the Regent's people think he's well-behaved. The stakes are a little higher than anything he had to do to win over the cultivators at Huan Hua Palace, but that's fine -- he hasn't fought without his sword Xin Mo since he claimed it in the Abyss, and he wants to test his strength without it.

He borrows a sword from one of the soldiers ("borrows" -- he has no particular intention of returning it) and lets his demonic qi radiate from his body, a halo of malevolent energy that would scare off animals and chill rooms full of civilians, if there were any around. Here, it mostly just makes it obvious that he's here for a fight.


II.
Although his demon blood allows him healing far quicker than an ordinary human's, Luo Binghe's battles in the ruins have not left him in good shape. The worst of it is already beginning to recede by the time he and his fellow Kenoma are on the river, but he's exhausted with the effort of mending his body, in a way he hasn't been since he was trapped in the Endless Abyss. His clothes need mending too, the garments he was furnished with earlier having been damaged pretty badly in battle, so it's kind of hanging saucily off him in the unfortunate way that tends to happen when you were created to be the protagonist of an erotic novel. It's not revealing exactly, but it's almost revealing in a way that looks kind of contrived.

You can find him either:

a) Circulating his qi to try to heal himself. The way he's sitting out on the deck it's pretty clear he's meditating, but maybe you're enough of a jerk to interrupt him.

b) Below deck, sewing up the holes in his toga with a needle and thread he's persuaded one of the sailors to let him use. (He still has trousers on, although they aren't in great condition either.) He does seem to know what he's doing, the stitches small and neat; if you get his attention he'll look up from his work and ask, "Would you like me to mend yours, too?"

(If you are somebody he's already found he doesn't get along with, the offer is sarcastic, but otherwise he means it.)

III.
The first night on board, Luo Binghe decides to do some snooping -- as much to see to what extent his dream powers have returned to him as to learn more about the other Kenoma. If you're asleep that night at a usual hour, whatever your dream is, you might notice this unusual figure lurking around the fringes of whatever's going on...

(OOC note: This is strictly opt-in; I will not assume Binghe is able to see into a dream your character is having on the ship unless you reply to this prompt. Conversely if you'd like to let me know what he would see in there without threading an interaction with him within the dream, feel free to just reply with a description of that!

ALSO i will match format so if you'd prefer to use brackets go ahead and tag with em and I'll switch)
