Less sand, fewer spectators in vicinity.

[weifinder]

Yes, well, I'm not of a mind to make that a particular performance. Unless you are?

1/2

[downswing]

Brazen.

[downswing]

It feels a simmered thing.

As if, after decades, I shall not know the man I am at the end of longing.

[weifinder]

I, for one, shall like to learn that man. I believe you will too, Lan Zhan. You've never been a man to deny change.

Only try not to be displeased with me, I've no experience and am an enthusiastic learner! Let me catch up to you.

[downswing]

( Catch up with...?

...never mind. )

We learned the sword together. What difference?

[weifinder]

We should probably aim for less blood.

[downswing]

Shall we?

[weifinder]

Yes. Maybe even start early, with less sand inviting attempts?

( he'll have to think hard on what that entails but he is going to catch up with his husband's questionable experiences )

[downswing]

Wei Ying. No haste.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhaaaaan!

[downswing]

When the mulberry shrub is beautiful, one forgets the gown.

[weifinder]

You're yearning for more silks, I see.

[downswing]

Not what the masters would intend.

[weifinder]

No, but if you're the one insisting on further patience, I can intend what I will.

[downswing]

You interpret this as slight or challenge.

[weifinder]

No, Lan Zhan. I'm just telling you my wants. Not my needs.

[downswing]

Your needs. To shower me in silks.

[weifinder]

Yes. Seeing you in them, beautiful, makes my heart feel like a kitten's claws are clutching it.

One day taking them off you layer by layer will be beautiful too.

[downswing]

( Ah. How to ask this kindly: )

Is this the work of riches over the poverty of before?

[weifinder]

I would as happily undress you with care from patched linen robes, washed into softness.

Your tastes, husband, run more expensive than that.

[downswing]

You hail of Yunmeng.


( EVERYONE SAW YOUR SILKS. )

[weifinder]

And the streets, before then, and Yiling after. Food and tea and wine made me happier than the clothes did.

They were nice too! No complaints, but the people, and enough to eat? Was better.

Stop getting off track, I'm telling you I like seeing you in things you like, and yes eventually I want to undress you from things you enjoy wearing. Am I mistaken? Are silks and lace not pleasing to you?

[downswing]

It is the way of my people.

[weifinder]

The way of mine says, well made clothing looks good on and coming off, so this way we're all pleased!
