So you accidentally fell into someone, and tried to catch yourself with your hands, which means you caught onto them?

[downswing]

( ...ah, to be known. )


Apologies.

[weifinder]

You haven't done any harm to me, let alone any disservice, Lan Zhan! Accidents happen. Balance fails. Sometimes you oversleep or forget about something, these things aren't what breaks a person, as far as I know.

[downswing]

You desire no apologies.

[weifinder]

I accept that you feel you must offer apology, and accept the offered apology. I don't see a transgression against me, that's all.

[downswing]

Generous.

[weifinder]

As you know me.

Would you prefer if I were jealous? I don't manage that well, but I could try pretending. Or angry? You've seen what stirs me to that. Lan Zhan, husband, you admit to not seducing anyone. Having a reflex to catch yourself when you stumble is normal, would you feel as wrong if someone had fallen onto you?

[downswing]

No.

Let us agree to never stoke your anger.

[weifinder]

That includes you and Sizhui not being targeted by those who seek your death for their own gains, which I prefer no one do, so this is fine by me!

( h u h, bae )

[downswing]

Be good.

[weifinder]

Haven't been less, here. Whatever the fears.

[downswing]

Fears alleviated.

[weifinder]

Have they? Fears are what they are. Faith and trust keeps them from ruling.

[downswing]

Ah. Elsewise offended.

[weifinder]

Only if you have some strange reason to believe I'm inclined to anger over accidents, or to designing you a green hat of your own.

[downswing]

Do you hold I distrust?

[weifinder]

Only you might know.

[downswing]

I ask.

[weifinder]

I have faith.

[downswing]

Wei Ying.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

How young was the morning, when you first begrudged me this?

[weifinder]

I feel resigned, ah? Not grudging.

[downswing]

I trusted you to catch me.

[weifinder]

Yes. That's a trust accepted and appreciated. Don't do that again when it's not necessary, please. Five words more and we could have done the same thing without you being pointlessly dramatic for an audience of me, only.
