[ It's not even that the things between himself and Meng Yao are the way things are between Wangji and young master Wei. He does love the man, he does, he's tried not to and that hasn't worked, but it's not...

It's not the same.

And yet on the other hand, it is. Both at the same time. ]

I am only human.

But no, that is not something I'm thinking of. Or waiting for him to become better for, or... anything like that. I merely want him to be someone who is ... at least a little bit the kind gentle person he always pretended to be. Someone who'll deserve respect for his actions, as well as his existence.

Someone who can be happy, even. Not at the expense of others.

I don't intend to be a bargaining chip in this.

Hope is a pain sharper than any other.

If he acts again, tell me.

[ze_uwu_jun]

I'd ask when you got so wise, but I don't need to.

I'll tell you. Hiding will not help anyone.

[ There’s nothing more to say to either point, so he changes the subject: ]

Do you require my presence?

[ For calming music. Or just for company. ]

[ze_uwu_jun]

Do you need mine?

I was thinking of going out to play in the park. Meditate.

[secondjade]

[ Don’t turn this on him, Xichen, he was doing really well ignoring his own feelings in this mess and just focusing on you. ]

I will complete my current duties and join you.

[ze_uwu_jun]

I will like that.

[ Except before he gets the chance, Xichen sends a picture of a man in white with a blindfold. In the park, sitting on a bench. ]

Wangji. Is this who I think it is?

[secondjade]

[ It’s rare that Wangji’s surprise registers on his face. But if you make a facial expression and no one is there to see it, did it really happen? ]

Daozhang Xiao.

Xiao Xingchen.

He’s here?

[ze_uwu_jun]

Yes.

I will take him home, if he agrees. He

This is unexpected.

[secondjade]

[ He's wearing the blindfold, so... ]

I have read Jin Ling's testimony.

[ So he knew the sorry fate that Xiao Xingchen met. ]

Is he alone?

Last memory?

[ze_uwu_jun]

I have not yet asked, but it seems he is recent to not relying on his eyes.

[secondjade]

[ There's a longer pause. ]

He's with you now?

Would you prefer privacy?

[ze_uwu_jun]

I will let you know. He seemed overjoyed to find that you and young master Wei are here.
