Sketches of charcoal. Waning.

[weifinder]

Dissolved entirely, exposed to rain. Preserved forever under glass.

[downswing]

...your likeness of Caiyi.

[weifinder]

In Loquats and Emperor's Smile.

[downswing]

And thickened beards.


( Those... beautiful portraits. )

[weifinder]

Or spidery eyebrows. Lan Zhan, they made me hideous.

( A pout, if you will, in his voice. )

[downswing]

Likeness uncanny.

[weifinder]

Enough to send shivers down the spine, Lan Zhan, don't tell me I'm that unhandsome!

[downswing]

I speak no falsehood.

[weifinder]

That likeness is as mysterious and unsettling as that barking Fairy at the Saber Tomb.

[downswing]

The beard did not ill suit.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan. ( he laughs, he can't help it, and then sucks in a breath for the sound of horror it is, without being horrified. )

It was at least more impressive than your uncle's, I'll grant the artist's that, but to find you so attracted to a beard? Surprising, Lan Zhan, surprising. I'll try to keep that in mind.

[downswing]

Wei Ying. Age does not ill suit.

[weifinder]

I'd prefer to go white in the hair alone than to end up with an unattractive, scraggly beard...

[downswing]

Vain.

[weifinder]

I admit my faults! I'd prefer not to be ugly, where's the credit to my parents in any of that?

( Debatable how serious he is, but he will at least compliment the people he can no longer recall. )

[downswing]

Burn them incense first.

[weifinder]

Would you think me so unfilial I have not?

[downswing]

So sundered.

[weifinder]

Not so. For what I don't remember in clarity, Lan Zhan, I have not forgotten my parents, or the ones who took me into their home.

[downswing]

...Eleven yet had incense.

[weifinder]

As did I, in Sa-Hareth.
