[ When he gets home, he sees his dogs passed out and checks to make sure they're still alive. They are, and seem to just be asleep, so he leaves them and checks the rest of his apartment. When he finds Yan Qing, he immediately assesses this as an intruder situation. An enemy. He's used to this: back home, thieves and crooks would try to break into his camp and steal his Hypnosis Mic, a more powerful Mic than the standard version as a military prototype; a more valuable one because of it.
He doesn't know what this intruder wants, and because they've only spoken over text, he has no means by which to assume this is the person he was speaking to. This means that Yan Qing will wake up tied to a chair with a double-up of rope and zipties. Except it's not the same room that he fell asleep in- no. It's cold. Riou took him to the meat locker he converted the "Guest room" in his apartment to.
This means that Yan Qing will wake up surrounded by hanging meat parts, already butchered and skinned, in a room covered in clear plastic sheets to keep the floors and walls clean of dripping blood. In a chair across from him, sits Riou, eyes serious and glaring, having been watching him sleep with a fierce determination. He doesn't take kindly to enemies or intruders. There are empty meat hooks hanging from the ceiling, and the lights are off so the only light is the natural light coming from behind a clear plastic sheet. It makes it harder to see exactly what animals are hanging from the ceiling, but the position that Riou put them in puts the majority of the light on the two of them. ]

[ Yan Qing wakes up to the darkness, cold and bound. The scent of blood alerts him to the danger and his first instinct is to look up. Riou's there. So are the carcasses hanging from the ceiling, and Yan Qing thinks he knows where this is going. Cook? Don't make him laugh. He's met cannibals before — hell, he's worked with them — but he's not falling victim to one today. ]
Fuck! I knew you were crazy. Should've known this was a setup—
[ Yan Qing attempts to break free, but to no avail. He thinks he's run out of Chroma to expend, too. Coming here on an empty stomach was the worst idea... Did that man on the internet know Riou was like this? That's terrible! ]
I ain't answering your questions!
Re: I didn't forget this thread I was just figuring out how to reply to this masterpiece
You broke into my home. You set off multiple traps and persisted. An intruder doesn't have the right to declare someone crazy.
[ Quite fortunately, Riou does not eat people. Yan Qing is actually perfectly safe right now, but it's good to know that his set up is working plenty fine. ]
[He squints at how Riou's name is absolutely ridiculous when juxtaposed against a situation like this, but you know what? He's not going to fight it. He still feels like he'd die if he did.]
Urk... I guess you got a point there. Call me Shin.
[Real names aren't important right now. What he wants to do is get out.]
Anything important I gotta worry about, uh, Crazy M?
[ Either of Riou's hands move to Yan Qing's wrist, pushing down on them slightly as if to emphasize that Yan Qing is the one trapped here. He's not in the position to be asking questions. ]
You have gall, breaking into a soldier's home.
[ He lowers his face so he's eye-to-eye with the intruder. ]
[As someone who tends to forget his place and run his mouth? He totally deserved that. It doesn't hurt, but Yan Qing winces and grits his teeth, leaning away from Riou back into his seat. Thank god he didn't transform into Riou to get past the traps... That would have been way more difficult to talk himself out of.]
Woah, easy! I just wanted to do a background check. You know? I, uh...
["Have trust issues and am nosy by nature," but he can't say that. Quick, play dumb.]
I get nervous around hot guys.
[...]
My last boyfriend was super hot and tried to kill me.
Why are you trying to do a background check on me?
[ Hot?? Boyfriend????? Riou is very confused right now. In fact, the expression on his face is rather like a certain math meme for a moment before he figures it out. ]
Are you the person I was speaking to online? The professional eater.
[Because he has trust issues and being a spy is part of the job. What job? That depends on when he asks. Thankfully, the topic changes before it comes up.]
That's right, that's right! Ahhh, for a second I thought you were having me for lunch — in ways more than one! [shut up yan qing]
[ After a few more seconds of silent contemplation, Riou reaches for a hunting knife in his boot without explanation. He leans in, slowly holding the knife toward Yan Qing and then...
Turning it around to cut the restraints off. ]
I don't eat human meat. You should be more careful whose home you break into.
[ This is it. He didn't want to have to kill anybody in a relatively peaceful world like this one, but he thinks he just might have to. Yan Qing clenches his fists. Riou's a big guy, so there's no way he cam make this look like an accident. But if he wants to make it alive and return to Chaldea's side, then— ]
