[Wei Wuxian's tail is a safety barrier between them and he can probably escape over the back of the booth if he really wants to, it's fine, it's fine, he's not being trapped in here, it's fine

looks sidelong at him again before taking a pancake, nibbling on it without lifting his head from the table]

[strikingchords]

[yeah Lan Wangji probably picked a booth where you can get out from either side for just that reason '-'a

he sits up very straight and eats a pancake too, eyeing Wei Wuxian back here and there but in a soft non-expectant way. he does not get on his case about posture.]

[laughitoff]

[the pancakes are mildly spicy. a good excuse to stay quiet for a bit]

[strikingchords]

[he doesn't like the pancakes, except that Wei Wuxian said he made them, so he loves the pancakes actually '-'a

speech while dining is forbidden...]

[laughitoff]

[he does not actually eat a lot, though he does drink the milkshake ._.

still watching him, cautious]

[strikingchords]

[puts down his chopsticks when he's done and turns to look at him back :(a]

[laughitoff]

...is there anything else you'd like to do...?

[strikingchords]

...

What of you?

[laughitoff]

I'm asking.

...

It's a long list.

[strikingchords]

...

That is not it.

[looks down at his empty plate for a moment, trying to think through how to say it... he washed off his hands and reapplied his bandage when he came in and started to handle food, so at least they're clean now.]

Not tasks to accomplish. Rather, thoughts in my mind. For the most part.

[laughitoff]

[frowns at him]

A lot of them are thoughts about tasks.

[strikingchords]

Tasks come to mind. When spending time with others.

[a bit hesitant? he doesn't seem like he's avoiding the question or putting Wei Wuxian off, very still and slightly wide-eyed]

...

Did not intend, assignments. You had requested notice. I only hoped for time.

...

You are unhappy. Something that would bring you ease. Is what I would like.

[laughitoff]

I'm not taking them as assignments.

[sighs]

It would bring me ease to address one.

[strikingchords]

...

[reaches over towards him, hesitating before touching]

May I?

[laughitoff]

[nods...?]

[strikingchords]

[okay,



,,,




he's going to pet his ears,,,]

[laughitoff]

[squeaks in surprise, freezing

doesn't,,,stop him though,,,]

[strikingchords]

[HE IS VERY GENTLE! WAITING FOR A SIGN THAT WEI WUXIAN ACTIVELY DOESN'T LIKE IT AND ISN'T JUST SURPRISED]

[laughitoff]

[...tucks his face down into his folded arms and lets him keep doing it...]

[strikingchords]

[...relaxes and scritches them properly, when this continues being Okay To Do.

he is apparently fine with this taking up at least a meditative couple of minutes if Wei Wuxian is]

[laughitoff]

[THIS SEEMS FINE

he's still a little bit twitchy, but Yanli has petted him enough that this is in fact more soothing than anything]

[strikingchords]

[he hoped it would be :X Wei Wuxian seemed to relax when he brushed his hair that time...]

Hm.

[laughitoff]

What...?

[strikingchords]

As suspected.

[laughitoff]

What are you suspecting about my ears...
