[downswing]

I lack warmth.


( THE MOST PATHETIC, HIS QI IS REDIRECTING. )

[weifinder]

Two bodies produce warmth between them, we'll be fine.

[downswing]

Shameless.

[weifinder]

And practical!

[downswing]

Do not let pity oblige you.

[weifinder]

I have never been motivated out of pity. Spite, a handful of times, sympathy many, but not pity.

Come to my bed. Cuddle, burrow, rest. Obliging by desire and design.

[downswing]

You and I. I did not think we spoke plainly.

[weifinder]

It may help if we did more often.

[downswing]

It comforts to know Wei Ying nearby. To hear his living breath.

[weifinder]

Is that enough? I don't know... I'm not the man I was, once. I don't know that Wei Ying can ever be enough.

[downswing]

'Enough' speaks of existence subordinate to another's needs.

Wei Ying need only be.

[weifinder]

Being is its own doing. If I simply am, I do. And no one, not you or anyone else, truly wants that. I don't know if even I do.

[downswing]

What is there left to fear in you?

[weifinder]

Is that an honest question, Lan Zhan?

[downswing]

Wei Ying.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan. Your blood painted on my lips, for swearing you wished.

Trust is long for healing. This sickness, first.

[downswing]

( Ah. )



I offended you.

[weifinder]

No, Lan Zhan. I'm resigned.

The water's boiling.

[downswing]

If you must hide, hide better.

[weifinder]

I'll pull the blanket up over my head, I promise.

[downswing]

An unruly head.

2/2 WAIT

[downswing]

It requires bathing?

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, all of me requires bathing.

[downswing]

( Pikachu face. )


Shameless.

[weifinder]

It's nothing you haven't seen. I'm well aware of who tended to me following that fight on the stairs.

The point, Lan Zhan, is my hair's not that kind of concern for the time being. Are you coming?
