so he listens, as his husband has in small steps become a man who tries, to whatever degrees, to create understandings. to bridge between them in words. to frame those words in ways that can help bring context and clarity to what is, after all, decades of mourning and more recent years of conflicted, complicated living on the move. )
Mm, I don't intend to distress you, Lan Zhan. You don't need to resolve my difficulties, ah? For me, knowing you want to, that I can rely on you wishing to try, and doing what you can? That means more than I know how to say.
