[downswing]

Dead sixteen years.

[weifinder]

And playing horribly, he would have recognised otherwise!

Truly, my powers of irritation are legendary.

[downswing]

Pledge that they are so irritating, I shall know them in each lifetime.

[weifinder]

I pledge I'll find a way to irritate you into noticing me in each lifetime?

... Are we going with that, ah, are we chasing each other through reincarnations? You have such a romantic heart, Lan Zhan...

[downswing]

This life and each to follow, I shall hunt Wei Wuxian, born Ying.

[weifinder]

( the stupidest part is this makes him smile. there's a certain intoxication that comes with belief; and here, belief that he wants, and is wanted, and it's true. they're both wanted. they're worth it. worth loving. )

Search, ah? I won't be running, at least not to escape.

[downswing]

Your whims are infinite.

[weifinder]

I do like being found. Haven't entirely learned to enjoy being hunted. Maybe I will, in some other lives.

[downswing]

Too spoiled, and you will lose edge. Lazy. Negligent.

[weifinder]

Like a well fed cat? Ah, but then won't I also learn to purr?

[downswing]

After fattening.

[weifinder]

Fatten me on meat, fatten the rabbits on grains, starting this life, set the precedent for those after. Fatten children on whatever they like, I hear the bowls of rice trend big in Gusu under your tutelage...!

[downswing]

You mock.

[weifinder]

Not when I like being fed!

[downswing]

So seldom.

[weifinder]

... Fed things with more spice and less millet...

[downswing]

Xie Lian's dinners.

[weifinder]

Are you trying to curse us?

[downswing]

Yelena's bread.

[weifinder]

At least she looked like she was improving...

[downswing]

Optimism never deserts you.

[weifinder]

What can I say? It's what I'd prefer to believe in, even when it's not what I plan for.

[downswing]

Smile.

[weifinder]

Can't you see it?

( since he smiles, there in the early morning light, holding a comb and the drying cloths, as he promised. as he said.

as he'd utterly misunderstood, but forgive him, he is reluctantly awake now, fully and with a smiling... yawn. )

[downswing]

Of your hundred smiles, I ask the one honest.
