you don't need to help out with anything else. think ya did enough outside, a-ying. just relax.
dianxins
lan zhan visited the shrine a few days ago. it caught me rather off guard. he never visits unless you or a-yuan are present.
laoqings
@dianxins, thirteen years later, and... im not sure what i feel for madame yu. she hurt me, but.. she was still jiang cheng's mother. [..] mhm... lan zhan once fought and injured 33 of his own clan elders trying to protect me. i think.. that might influence a-die's opinion, maybe a bit.
dianxins
and you should feel very lucky that i stopped him, because he was /comitted/. mm. what would that be?
laoqings
@dianxins, yeah... i heard what he wanted to do to madame yu when you guys found me. (..) fortunately, lan zhan is stubborn. i think i know what will convince a-die though.
kuutars
he's sent me to study at the cloud recesses every single year since i came of age! you think he'd stop bothering after the first year. at least i get to see you again!
laoqings
@qinghes, oh! i can come with you. caiyi isnt that far from puqi, ive gone with a-niang plenty of times! actually that's how i met lan zhan a few years ago. (..) huh! i keep making friends when i get lost!
kuutars
all i know is that im going to need to sneak into caiyi town as soon as possible to buy more paints! i'm already running out..
lanclans
mn ..they are good.
[ biting into the fruit wei ying passes him to try, it’s the level of sweetness he adores.. just enough to not be overpowering, but enough that it satifys his palate. juice trickles down slender jade fingers that hold it, dripping onto the ground. for a warmer day, this gift is a treat. ] wei ying should be happy with their work.
laoqings
@lanclans⸒ ( wei ying smiles, his eyes lighting up. he keeps a gentle smile, taking a red handkerchief and wiping the second jade's arm. he leans his head against lan zhan's shoulder. ) my parents had this tree planted before i came into their lives. it sure is nice to snack on the fruits in the hot months.
dianxins
your father and i couldn't bare to change your room after you— everything is as it was.
laoqings
@dianxins, ... im just– i didn't want to die. my soul was /broken/ and i--... i just wanted my parents, but then everything happened and i don't know.. im... not even in my real body anymore.
dianxins
your a-die and i were.. scared, but we don't need you to apologize. you're here with us again...
laoqings
@dianxins, but i /died!/ i.. died, and... i left you guys all alone. lan zhan told me about how you and a-die searched for me... if i ended up in the ghost realm.
kuutars
wei-xiong? what are you doing all the way out in qinghe? you could have sent a letter if you needed something.
kuutars
jiang-xiong and i.. no, nothing ever realty came of it im afraid.
kuutars
he had other things to focus on and i very suddenly became sect leader, so.. i think i miss how close we were.
kuutars
... in the chaos of it all, it's dawned on me that i never congratulated you properly. (..) i hope your marriage is a happy one.
laoqings
@qinghes, well ive always been an oddity, huh? well im sure maybe in the cultivation world, but .. thank you, again. though getting stabbed certainly wasn't fun.
kuutars
i think you're the only one who sees any " justice " in my actions, wei-xiong. your happily ever after, hm? i'm so happy for you.
