Pledge you do not sleep in the vanquished cave.

[emperorssmile]

Not really. You told me you don’t like doing it without me, right?

But if you change your mind, I’d like to know that you’re taking good care of my favorite person.

[shangba]

...thank you.

I do not find true pleasure without you. It is... tepid. Unsatisfying.

[emperorssmile]

I always like it better when we’re together, too.

[shangba]

I am not... offended. If Wei Ying yet enjoys his distractions.

[emperorssmile]

It’s both. I enjoy it alone, but I like it better with you.

It’s a good way to get to sleep when the bed’s empty next to me.

[shangba]

I enjoy knowing you pleased and at ease.

[emperorssmile]

Then I’ll make sure I’m pleased tonight before bed.

I like a lot of things better when it’s with you.

[shangba]

Such as?

[emperorssmile]

Most things, really. Eating, reading, night hunting, bathing. I just like being with Lan Zhan.

[shangba]

And spending time with disciples?

[emperorssmile]

Yeah, I like when you’re with me then, too. But I do like spending time with Sizhui and his friends. And the littler ones, too.

[shangba]

They worship senior Wei.

[emperorssmile]

They’ve got good taste.

They thrive when they can get hands-on experience.

[shangba]

Wei Ying's presence comforts them.

[emperorssmile]

They know I’ll have their backs if anything too dangerous comes along.

Awww, now I miss them, too.

[shangba]

Soon.

Perhaps I may rest with Liang, while Wei Ying accompanies them on a hunt.

[emperorssmile]

Thanks, Lan Zhan! You’re the best.

Not the first night I’m back, though. I want some time with A-Liang first.

[shangba]

He searched for you upon seeing me.

[emperorssmile]

Tell him I miss him, too. And that I’ll be home before he knows it!

[shangba]

He is even more jealous of Wen Qionglin.

[emperorssmile]

Because I’m spending time with Wen Ning and not him?

[shangba]

Precisely.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll have to make it up to him somehow.

I’ll make it up to you, too.

[shangba]

I often require Wei Ying's patience. Shall not ask compensation for wait returned.

[emperorssmile]

But making it up to you would be fun for me.
