We still need to keep them fed, ah! Ah!

[downswing]

( Humming appreciatively: )

Wei Ying will earn more silver.

[weifinder]

Wei Ying sees many baskets and a donkey in our future.

[downswing]

His back is strong enough to carry.

[weifinder]

How many, ah? More than the ones already in arms? Sweet as your tongue grows, there's only so much one set of shoulders can fit!

[downswing]

For each child, eight rabbits for good fortune.

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan is not a man who dreams small.

( wry. how much silver is he making. what gold is under these rabbit's toes. EVEN YOUR GHOST GRANDMA DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY RABBITS, LAN ZHAN. HE KNOWS! HE RESCUED THEM ALL! )

[downswing]

Then deny me.

[weifinder]

To indulge you elsewhere.

( in his voice, that's a promise. )

[downswing]

You must think that attracts more than rabbits.

[weifinder]

... A man has hopes, Lan Zhan! Or he had hopes. Once...

[downswing]

Does a man compare to rabbits?

[weifinder]

Maybe he should...

( this just in: whining with zero great because man has rediscovered He Can. )

[downswing]

He is not so tender. Sweet. Prone to huddle. Defenceless. Soft nosed.

[weifinder]

Oh, I see, I see! So what is he?

[downswing]

Hungering to consume the rabbits.

[weifinder]

( he snorts! sounding particularly amused: )

Is that so! Sounds dangerous. How're you handling this menace? This terrific rabbit threat?

[downswing]

'Mercy, mercy.'

[weifinder]

Will it work, do you think?

[downswing]

I hear the Patriarch denies me nothing.

[weifinder]

Fascinating, also true. Then why fear the carnivore within at all?

[downswing]

Sharp teeth.

[weifinder]

You wish to be bitten?

[downswing]

( Hissssssssed. ) Distasteful.

[weifinder]

So that's a no to nibbling too?
