[downswing]

You have no jealousies? No petty wants.

[weifinder]

Oh, I've got those second things. Like having you sleep in with me on a proper bed someday!

[downswing]

It is so simple?

[weifinder]

I wouldn't say people are ever simple, but our wants can be. So can our jealousies. That's just less part of my nature, and more part of yours. We balance.

[downswing]

When we return. ( Never if )

There will be more to offer you than simplicity.

[weifinder]

When we return, I'll appreciate that. Just as the simple things will still hold immense value to me.

[downswing]

I cannot sleep as you do, until the sun whips me.

[weifinder]

One overcast day we might get another half shichen out of you!

[downswing]

How would you know?


( Seeing how deeply Wei Ying sleeps. )

[weifinder]

I'll ask Sizhui when you woke, of course!

( point in fact, husband: he sleeps deeply next to you. )

[downswing]

And my son will betray me?

[weifinder]

If I'm beseeching enough. You know exactly how terrible I can be, with the annoying, and the pleading...

[downswing]

Next I take sickness.

[weifinder]

I've got some mixture of my shijie and Wen Qing's bedside manner, you should be fine!

( lies. he's just got his sister as his mental guide, truly. )

[downswing]

As I rest to excess.

[weifinder]

With me dancing attendance, but perhaps Sizhui handling what you eat. Very domestic, Lan Zhan!

[downswing]

Had you hoped to marry Lan Wangji and bed Hanguang-Jun?

[weifinder]

I hadn't let myself think about marriage until I did, but what's this? You want to be formal in bedding? I'll give it a try, husband, as long as you're asking.

[downswing]

Domesticity suits unworthy Lan Zhan.

[weifinder]

Then the only one I could possibly want for anything is Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

The bed is your right.

A daughter is your right.

'Lan Zhan,' 'Lan Wangji,' 'Hanguang-Jun' is your right.

Do you understand?

[weifinder]

More and more.

Each step on a path wide enough for two, or three, or more. A journey learned.

Side by side, I'm your right as well.

[downswing]

It is not. But we play your game.

[weifinder]

Oh? Then what it is, outside of my game?

[downswing]

Wei Ying. How do you qualify Emilia's beauty?
