return from lanling

[shangba]

A full moon, unblinking.

You did not sleep, to see?

[shangba]

Wish to grow lotus flowers for Wei Ying.

[emperorssmile]

It’s not the right time of year, but we can store some seeds for spring.

I’ll ask Jiang Cheng if he can get me some from Yunmeng. If he responds to my letter, anyway.

[shangba]

If he answers, do not ask quickly. Let him not assume your interest.

[emperorssmile]

I know. Things are going to be rocky before they get better.

I want to draw your portrait soon. It’s only fair if I get to carry you around with me, too.

[shangba]

Without indecency?

[emperorssmile]

I hadn’t thought about it. Now that you mention you being a nude model, I want the indecent one.

[shangba]

Declined.

[emperorssmile]

Awww, not fair.

What about a non-indecent one?

[shangba]

Wei Ying will seek revenge for my interest in his portrait.

[emperorssmile]

Only because you deserve it!

If I have to draw it from memory, it won’t be as good.

[shangba]

You may have me.

[emperorssmile]

You have me but you still wanted a portrait.

[shangba]

Cold feet.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan!

Is warming my feet on you really that big of an issue?

I’m not used to the cold yet.

[shangba]

You may paint me.

[emperorssmile]

I knew you'd see reason!

We can play music together.

We can always find new things to do, too.

[shangba]

Sock weaving.

[emperorssmile]

Lan Zhan!

I can't sleep in socks, I get too warm and start sweating. You wouldn't want to sleep next to me at all.

[shangba]

I will wear them as armour.

[emperorssmile]

I’ll have to warm them higher on your legs.

[shangba]

You repent of nothing.

[emperorssmile]

You make the cutest noise when my toes find your ankles.

[shangba]

Cruel.

[emperorssmile]

I wonder what sort of noise you’d make if I tucked my feet behind your knees.

[shangba]

You wish to be celibate.
