[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?

[weifinder]

Qualify her beauty? She's a beautiful woman. Observed, much like Wrath is handsome even with his shorn hair, or Allison likewise beautiful. Were you looking for poetic descriptions when gifting her?

[downswing]

You see foreign beauty, wild. Unknown. Uncertain.

A time will come when you do not fear it. When you desire it.

[weifinder]

Ah, Lan Zhan...

Is what you trust in me the perception of my ability and willingness to abandon you?

[downswing]

Wounded creatures first trust the hand that feeds them.

But there are better, more suitable clasps to rest their cheeks.

[weifinder]

Have faith, Lan Zhan.

I'm not broken. I have been, more than once. What I've chosen has been by my own claims, for my own reasons, not for a safe harbour you provided once back home.

I chose you, Lan Zhan. Try to get used to it sometime in the next five decades.

Also please consider me something closer to human, at this rate I'm wondering if I need to start biting you to display affection like animals do.
