I could have seen it, I think, if I had not chosen to trust him over those who warned me against him. And now... now is the harder choice. Is he trying to fool me again, or is he truly trying to be different. If I choose wrong...
[ Xichen shakes his head, then turns to pay attention to the gift.
Blinks. ]
... they put ... words... on cups?
[ Let's start there.
And yes, he is flustered. Listen, Wangji's signs of affection have always been Different, so this means a lot to him. ]
[And he is very proud of this. The store over the internet had been most accommodating.]
And I drew our symbol myself, so the people could put it on the side.
[He does not answer the his new father's confession, though, as that is something that sounds...like he should think about before he speaks. Sometimes he can do that, and this seems like one of those times he should.
Instead, he leans over to point to the wording.]
See? 'World's Greatest Dad.' I thought it was funny, because we are in a new world.
