Pledge you do not sleep in the vanquished cave.

[emperorssmile]

I’d like that. It’ll feel more like you’re here that way.

[shangba]

Perhaps as you bathe tonight.

[emperorssmile]

I already did! But soaking hot water does sound pretty good.

Just got back to the inn and I’m warming my hands and feet before I undress and get into the tub.

[shangba]

Have you oils?

[emperorssmile]

Oils, salve, and the second husband. Ready for my second bath!

I’m getting into the tub, now.

[shangba]

Linger until you are soft and prone, thawed for sleep.

[emperorssmile]

I should have known you’d make me relax first!

Okay, okay, I’ll rest for a little while.

[shangba]

Rested, you open like a flower.

[emperorssmile]

Do I?

Would you kiss me if you were here, Lan Zhan? It’s only been a day, but I miss your arms around me.

[shangba]

Want Wei Ying close. This house, too empty.

A larger one will crush me. Wei Ying may never leave, once we move.

[emperorssmile]

I want you close, too. I only feel like half a soul when we spend time apart.

When I need to leave for something, I’ll take you with me.

[shangba]

We will irritate all those who wish to see one, but not the other.

[emperorssmile]

Jiang Cheng can get over it.

[shangba]

Will you go no where else?

[emperorssmile]

Depends. I don’t really plan on going anywhere else.

He’s the first one that comes to mind when it’s someone who would be upset seeing both of us instead of one of us.

[shangba]

I can name many.

Wei Ying is preferred, to my company.

[emperorssmile]

If only your political clingers on agreed, you’d be able to rest.

[shangba]

Is it rest my husband would give me?

[emperorssmile]

I could give you rest, but knowing us, I’d give you love first.

[shangba]

To look at him, men must think my husband fragile and oppressed.

In truth, he is a beast.

[emperorssmile]

You think so?

You seem pure from the outside, but you have a healthy appetite for loving.

[shangba]

Too much for my maidenly wife?

[emperorssmile]

At first, maybe. But I think I can keep up with you pretty well these days.

[shangba]

You've worked hard.

[emperorssmile]

I have. I can take you every night and sometimes more than once. Are you proud of me?
