Well here we go!
A few days had passed with Meng not having any contact with Lin Chung or the rest of Big Green. And to Meng everything was the same thing. The same old routine where he would wake up in angushment, look at a naked Highroller passed out in the bed that they delbrailey had to share, remember last night's painful events and wash and repeat.
. The more Meng stayed here, the more heartbroken he become over that Big Green wasn't coming for him. Maybe he really was just east rivern, just a good for nothing east riven whore. One day, Meng just become numb.
He would sit there and stare blankly at the wall. When he got bored he would succumb to Highroller's wishes(which happen a lot). Meng didn't have a care in the world, well really shouldn't have because he was just an east rivern.

Lin Chung wake up in agony on the floor, why did he lose all his strength and let Meng down like that? Lin Chung mentally slapped himself. I'm so stupid. Lin Chung roared at himself. Why am I still laying on this floor. When Lin Chung slowly got up, he calmed himself down.
There was no reason for him to be beating himself up over this. The only thing Lin Chung could do was mediate in the forest and hope that the bamboo had an answer for him. "Lin Chung" he heard Apetrully chime. But when Apetrully saw him laying on the ground, his expression expression changed from cheerful into worriment.
"Lin Chung, what in 'Big Green's' name are you doing out of bed?" Lin Chung tried to ignore this and stood up. Despite Apetrully's annoying protests Lin Chung began and kept on walking. He needed to, this was for Meng, the man he loves.
Lin Chung successfully made it outside to fresh air. When he took in some, it instantly made him feel better. "Now off to the bamboo forest"

Meng sat in the parlor of the palace looking stoic,(but doubtful none of the least). He began to hear chatter up the hall and a servant walked in and was immediately stunned when he saw Meng. The servant realized his expression might have been rather unnecessary and bowed an apology. Meng only turned his head away in shame.
"You shouldn't bow to me"
"….Oh, I'm truly sorry"
"Or apologize"
"I'm unworthy of it, you see I'm just an east rivern"
The servant now understood, but he never thought that this man was an east rivern, he looked much too beautiful to be one, but if he is he is, but a prostitute, he could never believe. Meng looked back at the servant's disbelief.
"Are you showing me that you don't believe me?"
"I'm sorry sir, I didn-"
"Stop calling me sir, it's Meng"
That name sent delightful shivers down the servant's spine. They weren't the sexual shivers, they were warming shivers like when your with the person you like and you just wanna kiss them. The servant shook his head. Please this was Master Highroller's wife or whatever and he couldn't let this get to him.
But something inside him couldn't help it and wanted Meng away from that paranoid man. "Meng"the servant said out loud. Meng turned his head and the servant only should there. "My name is severin" the servant just played it something. "Oh…Hi" Severin got a grasp of Meng's eyes.
They were honey brown, but they looked blandish, nothing. Was that what Highroller did to him? Suck the life out him and let his shell to rot? Severin was horrified at this. Why would fate do this to a man?
A sweet, poor, innocent man…"Do you want to escape with me?" It came out abruptly, and it took Meng a minute to process the information. Something inside him just melted and Meng felt watery. His limbs were like jello when he stood up and his mind was just junk. Severin catched Meng before he could fall and Meng mumbled a "yes". Severin smiled warmingly, then he thought up a plan to get them out of here
