return from lanling

[shangba]

A full moon, unblinking.

You did not sleep, to see?

Comments

[shangba]

A turn of greeting.

One of passion.

One of commitment.

[emperorssmile]

Which one should be first?

[shangba]

First, we greet.

[emperorssmile]

You’re right. We shouldn’t plan the fun out of the encounter.

[shangba]

Haughtily spoken. Bowls yet untouched.

[emperorssmile]

Those bowls are as good as empty. Just watch me.

[shangba]

Wei Ying.

We agreed numbers. Not size.

[emperorssmile]

True, I could eat three tiny bowls and Lan Zhan would have to sleep with me three times.

[shangba]

A pot is also a bowl.

[emperorssmile]

No one can eat three pots of rice in one sitting!

I’ll eat three normal sized bowls of rice.

[shangba]

Wei Ying is not bound to the rules of Cloud Recesses.

[emperorssmile]

I would be so full after one pot that I wouldn’t be able to move let alone sleep with Lan Zhan!

[shangba]

Round, like a full moon.

[emperorssmile]

Isn’t three regular sized bowls of rice good enough? I’ll eat the other food too. It’s the only way it would be fair.

[shangba]

...thank you. For working so hard.

[emperorssmile]

Does it make you smile when you think of it? If Lan Zhan’s smiling, it’s worth eating some extra food.

[shangba]

Wei Ying, striving to eat, to warm, to cultivate.

To extend himself kindness.

It fills my heart with fondness. Aches.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan, you’re really happy? If taking care of myself makes you happy, maybe it’ll be easier for me to think about it.

[shangba]

I wish for nothing past it and the health of my children.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll try my best, Lan Zhan. I’ll treat myself the way you’d treat me, even when you’re not there with me.

[shangba]

I thank you.

[emperorssmile]

Just be patient with me because it doesn’t come naturally. I really will try my best, though.

[shangba]

I also shall change however Wei Ying requires.

[emperorssmile]

You're already encouraging me to repair my relationship with Jiang Cheng. And I have your blessing to keep Jin Ling in my life, too. What more could I want?

[shangba]

I do not know.

But want, ambitiously. Never be satisfied.
