[there's a tiny growl from under the common room couch]

[strikingchords]

[goes absolutely still, fingers still on the lid of the cooler as he places it...]

[laughitoff]

[there is SILENCE!1111]

[strikingchords]

[stands up and looks around...?]

[laughitoff]

[he can hear a faint scrabbling from the same spot X(]

[strikingchords]

[...

there are boots moving over towards the couch...]

[laughitoff]

[a tiny yip!]

[strikingchords]

[...

now there are kneeling knees.

now there is an eye, peering gravely sideways under the couch to observe this phenomenon. Lan Wangji's hands are quiet in his lap; his hair pools on the floor a few inches beneath his cheek. hello.]

[laughitoff]

[there is a tiny fat white fox crowded back under there

rrrrr!]

[strikingchords]

[looks at it peaceably. oh no. this was not unexpected.]

Hm.

[laughitoff]

[yaps! at! him!]

[strikingchords]

[he's being yapped at. watches this without reacting for a few moments, his mouth soft]

...

[laughitoff]

[hunkers down a little more when yapping doesn't make Lan Wangji go away '-']

[strikingchords]

...

[quietly, after it's clear that the yapping has at least temporarily tapered off:]

That is better.

[laughitoff]

[huffs grumpily at him...]

[strikingchords]

[raises his eyebrows slightly]

Continue, if preferred.

[laughitoff]

[HUFFS MORE LOUDLY]

[strikingchords]

Hm.

[by all indications he is SERENELY WAITING FOR YAPPING TO RESUME.........................]

[laughitoff]

[sneezes at him instead, adorably]

[strikingchords]

[...

softer, perhaps concerned...]

There is dust.

[laughitoff]

[...

creeps forward, just a little]

[strikingchords]

[stays absolutely still except for his steady breathing, apparently unbothered by kneeling by a couch and holding his head at an awkward angle to patiently watch a tiny fox inch closer and closer]

[laughitoff]

[eventually...

the tiny fox's nose touches his cheek]

[strikingchords]

[blinks once, slowly, like a cat. his eyes have adjusted to the low light under the couch and seem darker than usual, pupils wide.]

Do you desire refuge?

[laughitoff]

[chrrrrt?]
