Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

Well what if I poisoned you?

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

I would never eat or drink anything you gave me ever again.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

Oh.

[Dan Feng gives him a blank look that clearly says he has not thought about these consequences.]

That's upsetting.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

Less so than being poisoned.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

Well, it was a hypothetical question, I love you far better when alive and warm. I mean, I will still love you even when you are sort of dead and cold, like Blade, but you are better like this.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

That... really shouldn't be as charming as you somehow make it.

[reaching for a bottle of iced tea.]

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

You find me charming?

[He get started on brewing the matcha, moving like he's still used to long sleeves, moving imaginary cloth out of the way.]

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

Never mind.

[watching him. he knows the movements, but he's never done this himself. any ceremony about mundane things isn't something he's had time for in his life.]

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

Were you ever taught- any? Of the tea ceremonies?

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

...I was not.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

[Moving his chair, then, to sit next to him: the table was made for two people, so it's a lot cramped, but Dan Feng solves this by putting his arms around Dan Heng, hands over his.]

You can try finishing this one.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

[warm...

slings a leg over dan feng's thighs to sit half in his lap, make things less awkwardly cramped. and picks up where dan feng left off, movements unsure.]

Like this?

Re: DAY 25 post game

[eggshell]

No, move it like this.

[Sure he can just verbally direct him, but it's much nicer to hold his hands over Dan Heng's, helping him whisk the tea.]

You can make it for A-Yuan next time.

Re: DAY 25 post game

[lifeban]

[adjusts his motions, letting dan feng's hands guide his.]

That does sound nice...

DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

[after this]

Dan Heng?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[lifeban]

[that's an alarmingly hinged text]

Yes?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

You are my successor, correct?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[lifeban]

I am.

What is this about? Should I come find you?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

[anyway. Ignoring all of that]

Do we have any other relations?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[lifeban]

[CALLING HIM.]

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

[It's going to take several persistent calls before he picks up.





And he doesn't say anything.]

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[lifeban]

[he makes the calls.

by the time dan feng picks up he is distinctly snappish with concern.]

We are lovers and betrothed and running off into the sunset together with Jing Yuan, what happened?

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

I knew it. This does not work. Thank you, Dan Heng.

[HANGS UP]

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[lifeban]

What are you t-

[hung up on

looks at his phone in consternation

and gets up to hunt his predecessor slash boyfriend down.]

Re: DAY 27 7PM

[eggshell]

[Wow!!! He said thank you and everything!!!!!

Anyway he'll be able to find Dan Feng at the lake. He is holding the same gesture both of them have used to part the waters of Scalegorge, but the waters are still. He is looking over the water, but it doesn't seem that he's seeing anything.]
