Husband.



( He is trying. )

[weifinder]

( there is something small and wildly pleased in reading that word, some cemented sense of bonds that can be, are, seen as tangible things, and he plucks at it, that word, in his mind. he thinks he'd like to hear lan zhan say it, soon. )

Have you encountered any so far, or should I be applying myself to locating true lovers among our, ah, colourful community?

[downswing]

Do you not bear enough burdens, that mine must call to you?

[weifinder]

Do we stand at each other's side, Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

Often, one stands behind the sleeve of another.

[weifinder]

Your sleeves are very impressively large, and I could be climbing you like a tree whenever the dogs exist, but I have not, ah?

[downswing]

Made attempt.

Wei Ying. Quiet your heart.

[weifinder]

There are too many dogs here, Lan Zhan, the least quiet part of me will be my heart until we're gone from this region.

So, finding the true lovers to marry, ah?

[downswing]

Or an exercise in conjugal respect.

[weifinder]

Do elucidate!

[downswing]

Perhaps, more facile to reunite an estranged pair than to construct fresh marriage.

[weifinder]

No reason not to try, but it comes down to the same point: listening to what the locals have to say.

Possibly visiting with the elders. They might be likely, too.

[downswing]

I am no matchmaker.

[weifinder]

Of the navy qualities you're imbued with, that is not one, no, but you have all those people coming to speak, yes? Have none of them hinted at missed connections?

[downswing]

I have lacked your ingenuity to inquire.

lmf autocorrect to navy, nice

[weifinder]

Ah, but you haven't lacked the learning, and people still flock. No time to begin is better than now!

Think! In conjunction, some of these petty squabbles I can't imagine you've missed from your position are the kind which help address my own ancestral commitment. We can both listen, ah?

[downswing]

What do you know of xiandu?

You absented.

[weifinder]

Where did I wander the paths before here? Tell me, husband, from whom have I been informed, by majority, since returning?

[downswing]

Sizhui.

[weifinder]

Haaa, no, though I'm inclined to believe he's one of yours.

[downswing]

So claimed.


( Still the proudest. )

[weifinder]

Noted, you sentimental fool. ☺️

My resources are the people. So yes, I'm more experienced with the listening to chaff to sort out the grain of the so called common folk.

[downswing]

Does affection shame me?

[weifinder]

No, husband. Affection makes all of us fools. It doesn't create shame.

[downswing]

You injure the shadow of your sister.
