Pledge you do not sleep in the vanquished cave.

Comments

[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.

[shangba]

Mmmmmm. Wei Ying must clear his conscience.

[emperorssmile]

Exactly! And the only way I can do that is if I spoil you just as much as I spoil the kids.

[shangba]

Who will spoil Wei Ying?
