[ 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's truly in despair. talk about fucking up your perfect end.
though..... thinking about it, there's a good amount of overlap between their recent misadventure and the systems demands. .....huh. the creaky cogs are turning and despair gives way to curiosity ]
[ he's gnawing on this thought a little bit more but the `!!` vibes are increasing ]
Do you think I can do something similar with Binghe...? Pulling him out of the novel for a better ending? I doubt that stupid system will let me without a fight but...
[ maybe they can run away to one of the other worlds?! xin mo can definitely do it. binghe and him might have a hard landing but that can be their price for smashing through space and time. who knows where they'd land but surely anything is better than continuing on (said five minutes before disaster) ]
[ hmm. well, this is a little out of fei du's purview, but shen qingqiu does probably deserve his best. he looks thoughtful, tilting his head to the side. ]
Gerard mentioned when we all get back, there's a chance we could go back in a proverbial timeline. If there's a way to move from place to place in your novel - considering your situation - I don't see why that wouldn't be possible.

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.

[ 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. ]
no subject

Do you think.....
[ no. no way would he be able to ]
no subject
he raises his eyebrow? ]
What?

no subject
hm, his last memories sure are blurry with pain and that infernal google voice. bad! ]
I think that will be the best plan, honestly. Going back to that stupid fucking system will be absolutely impossible after weeks of freedom.
