[downswing]

I shall not again rupture your peace unduly.

[weifinder]

I only ask that you at least warn with, "Catch."

[downswing]

Wei Ying. Recall every turn when you opened your flesh to harm, knowing my blade would stay it.

[weifinder]

There's always the chance my arts will find delay, your sword is very, very rarely not up to performance!

[downswing]

When have you failed?

Name a turn.

[weifinder]

Leaving for Jinlin Tai without requesting escort.

[downswing]

No more foolish than conveying such an invitation.

[weifinder]

We had faith and trust that was half deserving, half not. It would have served me better to ask for help. A lesson learned too late.

[downswing]

( ...ah. )


But learned.

[weifinder]

Yes. Hence the asking.

( that you didn't do, bae )

[downswing]

You expect of me better than of yourself.

You demand it.

[weifinder]

I expect better of us both.

[downswing]

...the song. Its name.

It disappointed you.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan, did you start drinking? Did alcohol stroke across your tongue? Will I need to come track you down before you find all the chickens in the port?

That song was a comfort and a grounding of myself for years. The only disappointment I had in its name was in not knowing it for so long.

[downswing]

The next, Sizhui must name. But after, yours.

I trust.

[weifinder]

The both of us. Please.

[downswing]

No gift, then.

[weifinder]

Why do you think that isn't a gift?

[downswing]

Gifts should please the recipient more than the giver.

[weifinder]

You're ridiculous, and the person for whom my affections run deepest. You're always my gift.

[downswing]

Words of affection never elude you.

[weifinder]

They're always worth sharing! Softly or loudly.

[downswing]

'Husband.'

'I trust you.'

[weifinder]

Yes.

[downswing]

You are.

I do.
