A pauper once, a pauper forever.

[weifinder]

No, no, I mean my version of comfortable, so more than a floor. Comfort vs straw on stone, you know how it is!

[downswing]

You should not have needed to.

[weifinder]

No, I shouldn't have. But I did put myself there, as much as anyone else did. These days, if I knew what I do now about myself and people, I'd not push so hard to make sure I was the only one waiting to fall.

[downswing]

You would. Your kindly nature.

[weifinder]

Not limitless.

[downswing]

True. Would not share peanuts.

[weifinder]

A man sometimes has needs. Even if they're not superior peanuts!

[downswing]

If we are unsuccessful here, returned on the road. Then, I shall find you new peanuts.

[weifinder]

... Roasted?

[downswing]

How else?

[weifinder]

Covered in chili powder!

( he took that as an invitation even though he knows what was meant )

Or garlic.

[downswing]

You suited whites.

( You will suit widowhood too, sir. )

[weifinder]

Yours can be plain!

[downswing]

Wei Ying's mercy honours him.

[weifinder]

I'm resigned to our slow journey on the road to more complex tastes. Can't blame you for having the stomach your clan cultivated for you!

[downswing]

Nor do I fault Wei Ying for seeking death with each lone bite.

[weifinder]

Glad we can agree we both have horrible tastes in the opinion of our other halves!

[downswing]

One of us more than the next.

[weifinder]

And I care for you this deeply anyway.

[downswing]

You have wretched taste in lovers.


( Says the man. Married to the war criminal. )

[weifinder]

One of the many things we share in common.

[downswing]

Name one other.

[weifinder]

We care deeply for Sizhui. Our brothers. Our families have mattered deeply to us in our lives. We both appreciate the sword arts. We don't believe injustice is worth maintaining when there are better ways. We enjoy rabbits, but you enjoy them much more than I do. Serving guests tea and not just hot water.

Plus, kissing. Whatever we're figuring out there seems to be something we both are terrible at and terribly interested in, for later!
