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.

[weifinder]

... Thank you.

[downswing]

I have wronged you with distrust before.

But you must decide to permit amends.

[weifinder]

I have, and will continue.

Please just speak, catch my eye, anything more than let go without, to me, warning.

[downswing]

...you nag. Like a wife.

[weifinder]

Who knew about the hidden benefits of marriage!

( once you know you're married that is )

[downswing]

And the detriments.

[weifinder]

Dreams need grounding in reality!

[downswing]

'On the mountains, snow sheens white
Amid clouds, the moon shines bright.
I hear you have a fickle heart.'

[weifinder]

'Old friend, tell me
has not a wild goose reached you there?'

[downswing]

Mercy. Do not thin the face of an old man before his son.

[weifinder]

He thinks nothing ill of you, only joy for your expanded affections.
