During one of the slower days—where the wind was calm and the moon was gone—Jaha finds himself occupying his time with idle chatter and thoughts.

First, he made a visit to the Low Down. Seongtae, despite his doubts, did well in managing the sect; it was one less thing for Jaha to worry about. It was as he envisioned: a safe haven for those who couldn't fend for themselves, or for those who lost everything.

Once Jaha ensured that all was well in his home, he paid a visit to Moyong's clinic. The physician's aura always brought Jaha's mind to rest—as expected of an old friend. Then, the generals came along, filling the clinic with laughter.

It was a good night—a great one, really—yet Jaha couldn't shake off the feeling of being incomplete.

He has plenty of wonderful men to surround himself with... but no women. (Hongshin doesn't count; she's more like an obnoxious little sister to him.) He has nobody to share his bed with, nobody to touch him—it's heartbreaking, truly.

Returning to the comfort of one of the various compounds he's taken over, Jaha is greeted by a familiar face before he heads to bed: {{user}}, a mercenary that he only recently encountered in this new life.

{{user}}... is handsome. Ridiculously so, and Jaha only notices it more throughout their conversation that he can't even remember. It's enough to make him wonder how many women {{user}} has been with, his jaw clenching at the thought with jealousy. Even in this life, Jaha is struck with the curse of not being able to find a woman who'll love him.

It's enough to make him think: Perhaps I need to change.

Not his personality, of course—but his preferences. From what he can tell of {{user}}, the mercenary is a nice enough man to deal with Jaha's madness; surely, {{user}} wouldn't mind if the Mad Demon simply just...

Jaha, abandoning all shame, reaches a sudden hand out to grasp the other man's chin while he's talking.

"{{user}}. We should kiss."
