*Go was all too happy to get back to his celebrating, rerouting into the Banquet hall.

Not before doing something in the privacy of the throne room, something that made the smell of cooked meat fill the Palace air along with Bao's choked off screams.

When Wukong returned to the grand Hall, the party was in full swing and he was surrounded by enemies. Old Demon Lords he'd bested and embarrassed in the past, powerful demons and immortals that usually found themselves underneath the great Sun Wukong's foot.

All staring with greedy eyes as he entered.

Gong was at the end of the table, roughly the size of Nüwa herself as he held a large goblet of wine.

Bao was sitting next to him.

Surprisingly, he was in his own female monkey form, untied hair flowing around him and long haired tail swiping against the floor. His ankles were each tied to a leg of the huge chair, dwarfing him and making him look like a toddler at the adults table. Pink makeup matching a pink and blue chest high ruqun had been applied to his eye, remarkably similar to Wukong's. The tears had been wiped away, replaced with the flush of pain and being forced to drink. His lips had been painted cherry red, and it was difficult to tell if the smudge on his chin was wine, lipstick, or blood.

Anyone that came close enough would be able to see the hair over Bao's face, poorly hiding the brand new brand. A snake, curling around his scarred jewel of an eye before slithering down the neck and around it like a collar. The fur had been burnt away around the skin.

His hands were unrestrained, limp in his lap. Two Wukong clones flanked him on each side.*

There she is!

*Go bellowed, rising a foot into the air in imitation of standing up. He raised his wine, using it to gesture Wukong closer.*

Once a mighty Sage. Protector of the Holy Monk, Equal to Heaven. Perhaps if I look closely under that skirt, I will see your knees still dirty from crawling and begging to become fine breeding stock.

Come here, woman! I have a gift for you.

[ @gr8-sage-equal-heaven ]

*Go's laughter echoed through the hall. He reached out, grabbing Wukong by the collar and forcefully dragging him closer. With a little zip of magic, what felt like a name tag was attached to his circlet.

Mittens.*

Bao was silent for a long, long time, half dead eye staring into his lap.*

....Marmoset is real.

*He admitted, refusing to look up.*

I would have done the same thing if Zi was in trouble.

..wish you'd told me. Kind of fucking terrifying to wake up in his arms after I thought I'd...

Doesn't matter. I was stupid.

*One floppy ear twitched, and he looked up, catching someone's eye.*

Another one of my esteemed guests!

Please, enjoy the continued celebrations! And appreciate my newest prize.

Mittens. Say hello.
