[Xingchen presents himself as neatly as he is able, his appearance immaculate right down to his horsetail whisk. Said whisk rests on his lap, his hands toying with it nervously.]

Greetings, fellow travelers. I am Xiao Xingchen. [He gives a small bow at the waist before straightening with a soft smile.] I am a Cultivator who is unaffiliated with any sect. For those who do not recognize the title, a Cultivator is one who can combat, silence or exorcise ghosts, demons or other monstrosities.

[Here, he pauses.]

I have heard that demons are present in our number. I mean you no harm as long as you remain peaceful.

[Well. He seems okay, for a demon hunter. Even if he did indirectly call her a monstrosity.

Still, best to introduce yourself. Diplomacy is key.]

Hi, demon here. Appreciate the assurance that you aren't going to kill me, I guess?

For posterity, I've never killed or tortured any humans, and I don't intend to start now. I just live here.

[His experience with demons has been...limited. And his Master ingrained certain perceptions in his mind before he left her side.]

The demons in my land only know how to hurt and harm. They would not ask for permission nor would they warn anyone before they attacked.

You are different.

[doiteventually]

Yeah, I don't blame you for being careful if that's your main demon experience. My past encounters with demon hunters have been pretty unpleasant, so I get it.

It is a pleasure to meet you in that case. I am not a violent man. I believe in mercy and justice.
