Taking a bite out of the mooncake there was a laugh that followed. The taste was amazing, better than what he thought it would be.

"I am goin to need to know the recipe for this. These would be wonderful to have on hand! Your skills impress me yet again."

During the hours she was away he had done his usual patrol around his mountain. It wasn't until she returned with the gift of a peach mooncake that his eyes lit up. A treat just for him?

"Patrol is the same as ever. No trouble, but even if there was it wouldn't have been that way for long."

Stopping for a moment he took Jingu Bang and extended it like a tree, hanging on at the top. The view from up here was always breathtaking. His eyes scanned all they could of the mountain to see if he had missed anything.

Even though things were nice and calm now he continued his patrol. You could never be too careful when your name is Sun Wukong. It still took some getting used to having everything be so peaceful after the life he's had. Maybe this was actually a good change of pace from all the chaos. ↓

Meanwhile back at Mount Huaguo the Monkey King was on patrol making sure everything was going smoothly at home. No violent visitors or uninvited guests from his many enemies.

The other monkeys on the mountain were enjoying their lives, the elder was meditating. ↓

It was like she had him all figured out now. After spending so long together was there really any surprise that she knew how he operated around here? Giving a nod his clones departed and he gave a grin.
