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

[downswing]

I want for nothing.

[weifinder]

Gifts don't imply you lack. Let me give.

[weifinder]

Though you'll appreciate another change of robes after the last few have been destroyed. The blessed ones are the best still, aren't they?

[downswing]

It... has been pleasing to have no earthly concern for them.

[weifinder]

We're no masters of laundering, sadly, it's true. An oddly useful blessing!

( as some may term, it's a happy little accident )

[downswing]

Wei Ying minded my interests.

[weifinder]

Long before I knew of additional ties between us, I cared.

[downswing]

How does a heart so big not sunder under its own weight?

[weifinder]

By healing when the fractures break tiny pieces off the whole, and beating strong for the ones who likewise care for it.

[downswing]

Seam scars remain.

[weifinder]

Kiss the reminders of having survived and healed.

Because we both know what my truly broken heart did.

[downswing]

Perhaps we should lay her down incense.

[weifinder]

I would like that.

Thank you, Lan Zhan. Thank you.

[downswing]

It is no hardship to honour the aunt of my son.

[weifinder]

Family is family. Mine and yours.

[downswing]

You lay claim to Uncle?

[weifinder]

Not his beard!

[downswing]

But you claim him as uncle.

[weifinder]

It's what he is.

( he's just also going to be ignored on certain things, and honoured on others, so. )

[downswing]

Thank you.

[weifinder]

You don't need to, but you're welcome.

[downswing]

Uncle and you are not... suited to intuitive proximity.

[weifinder]

He won't be the only elder who hasn't been.

[downswing]

Show him grace.
