today, jiaoqiu is wearing something like this, minus the guns and sword. he's poking around in the olive garden, nose wrinkled at some of the plants. his ears are just constantly swiveling, trying to catch any noises, and if shadowheart comes up on him, he immediately tenses and looks in her direction.
a beat. ]
Oh. Miss Shadowheart. Good to see you again. This your first time here?
[ he rests his hands at his hips, kind of like he'd be tucking them into belt loops if he had them. ]
[she's approaching him! she does not look baby, just like her normal self. she looks a little contemplative, almost worried about something. but then as he turns around, she takes in his swiveling ears, his hands at his hips. it seems like she decides something, and looks less visibly worried, more confident.]
Lan, yes. The Hunt. The Aeon - the one I follow. [ which isn't correct, because what he'd mentioned before was IX was the nihility one that he loosely was associated with. ]
Perhaps I'm good at pretending. Did I really never tell you any of this? Thought we had a conversation about it.
[ he brings a hand up to push his hair back out of his face. ]
The Hunt broadly applies to those who prefer using violence against violence, in order to subdue it. Those of us who follow Lan appreciate THEIR swift decisiveness regarding punishment, bringing justice to those who hurt others.
Or, at the very least, this is what Galaxy Rangers believe. [ does a little. hat tip motion. he's not wearing a hat. ]

Perhaps I misunderstood. What does the Hunt stand for, then?

How did you first get on this path?
