[ stupid bastard bird. he sips his tea aggressively ]
That scroll I carried. It was how we kept in contact while we sought a perfect end. It involved keeping you alive until we were in the perfect position apparently.
[ this sounds like it could be a joke but it is 100% the truth. he sips his coffee. very cool. very normal. very not actually grateful to shen qingqiu for not saving his life. ]
Which, I'd appreciate if you would keep him on a strictly need to know basis about this event, if you end up reaching out to him.
[ he's not even going to deny the fact that he's a delicate maiden. have you seen him? some people are not built for combat. his strength score is like a seven. ]
I'd rather him not be here at all, let alone to wring my neck. [ ha ha oh if only sqq knew. ]
But, there's no point in telling him. It's not as if it's consequential.
Yes, yes. If I have to be beaten with this morality stick one more time, it's going to actually kill me.
[ the universe is trying to send him a message here and he has to stop ignoring it. fei du would like a distraction and shen qingqiu's thoughts are probably going to help. ]
[ buries his face in his hands. WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING A STALLION SEX GOD WITH 600 WIVES ALL SATISFIED WITH THE HEAVENLY PILLAR HOW DID I FUCK UP THIS BADLY HE CAN'T EVEN KISS NOW.
eventually, he'll remember these thoughts can be heard and rip the aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaagh that follows ]

he puts a hand to his chest. ]
Bribe? I can't just bring you a drink because you look like you got run over...?
no subject
he snorts however, sipping his tea incredibly judgementally ]
If you wanted to come talk about your time as the moon, you could just say so.
no subject
but besides that: ]
I actually want to talk about your time in particular, mother hen.
no subject
My time? With that burning chicken?
no subject
You're calling the Fenghuang a burning chicken? [ a ripple of amusement. ] You were awfully invested in my life, is all.

no subject
the eyebrow raise returns. ]
Until the end, when it was supposed to swallow me whole?
no subject
Until I was supposed to kill you actually. [ sips his tea ] He got offended I told him to fuck off.
no subject
but he pauses in sipping his coffee at the last bit, just briefly, and then... a little more awkwardly: ]
... Thank you.
no subject
You're welcome.
[ a beat ]
Besides, Luo Wenzhou would have snapped me over his knee had I tried.
no subject
What Luo Wenzhou doesn't know won't hurt him.
[ this sounds like it could be a joke but it is 100% the truth. he sips his coffee. very cool. very normal. very not actually grateful to shen qingqiu for not saving his life. ]

no subject
[ what if he just complains all ten pounds of fei du landed on his poor spine and cracked it instead?? ]
Though I suppose I understand not wanting him to find a way here just to wring your neck.
no subject
I'd rather him not be here at all, let alone to wring my neck. [ ha ha oh if only sqq knew. ]
But, there's no point in telling him. It's not as if it's consequential.
no subject
I think he would be more appeased knowing you survive-...... [ hm ] I think he might kill you regardless actually.
no subject
... ]
He won't kill me, he'll lecture me for a month. [ dryly: ] A fate worse than death.
no subject
I suppose going off and doing certain things without care for your own safety warrents it.
[......... is this how binghe feels every time i die? hm. ]
no subject
Yes, yes. If I have to be beaten with this morality stick one more time, it's going to actually kill me.
[ the universe is trying to send him a message here and he has to stop ignoring it. fei du would like a distraction and shen qingqiu's thoughts are probably going to help. ]
Binghe. Was that your dragon?
no subject
The horror of being known will kill far faster than ones own hubris.
[ but he will allow this. he's always ready to wax poetically about his boy ]
Mm, I believe so. He was the Prince before he was also struck with the sleeping curse but I have reason to believe somehow he was changed as well.
no subject
I see. And in your regular life?
no subject
My protagonist. The one I got into this entire mess for.
[ 'this' he says, gesturing vaguely at his entire wuxia nonsense. ]
no subject
[ Love interest. ]
no subject
[ pauses. thinks about what happened before he got here. dear god the gnawing- turns pink ]
no subject
he doesnt even say anything he just makes the face in his icon ]
no subject
eventually, he'll remember these thoughts can be heard and rip the aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaagh that follows ]
no subject
this is a lot. he will let these thoughts pass and then reach out and pat him consolingly on the shoulder. ]
