Extended stay

XuanYe runs into the innkeeper practicing with a weapon. He goes to talk to him and is immediately challenged. The fight looked very real and I wasn’t sure if he meant to harm XuanYe or not. They end up having a chat while XuanYe notes his armor and they talk about his time in the military. It is rather a sad story as they were on an outpost that was forgotten when a new empower took over. They were eventually rediscovered but it took 20 years for their post to get recognized. They have literal eyes watching everybody. I am not sure what connection there is between visitors and the dolls the daughter makes. She is very eerie and mentions a brother that ran away. Seems she wants to follow BanXia home. Cats have been seen but nobody has had a conversation with the 9 lives demon yet. BanXia runs into her cousin. Qiu was last seen in the woods with his demon wife. It isn’t clear how this was possible but this is what he thinks is happening. XuanYe has questioned the innkeeper if he has seen any demons and he acted odd. He did not freak out at the moon bug, so he passed the not demon test. Demon or not this entire place seems to be “other”. One of the constables got attacked by someone when they were heading back with the body. This whole arc is creepy and weird and interesting. It is funny that Rabbit thinks our couple was kissing🤣 in his defense it sure looked like it. I am surprised they are not putting forth more effort to find the cat they want to talk to and get away from the inn. It is not seeming a high enough priority. But maybe their senses are being numbed the longer they stay.
