[strikingchords]

[frowns concern at that, then gathers up the cooler by Wei Wuxian's door and carries it to his own room instead, holding the door open for the fox]

[laughitoff]

[gives him a curious look, but then trots into his room easily enough]

[strikingchords]

[he'll close the door behind him! most of the way. he leaves it cracked open for the fox; it can make its own decision whether it wants to close it or leave the escape open

he also arranges a glass of water AND the milkshake on the floor next to the dresser for fox consumption, carefully neat]

[laughitoff]

[the fox skips closing the door in favor of sticking its nose in the water glass immediately, so good read on the signs there, Lan Wangji]

[strikingchords]

[he'll refill the water glass when the fox is done...]

[laughitoff]

[drinks a little more of the second glass and then attacks the milkshake...]

[strikingchords]

[when he finishes he'll find that Lan Wangji is sitting quietly on his bed, still softly watching]

[laughitoff]

[goes to put both front paws on his foot, looking up at him]

[strikingchords]

[hums lightly, an acknowledgement...]

...

That is better.

[laughitoff]

[squeak!]

[strikingchords]

...

[pats the bed next to him, his quiet expression not reflecting how completely wildly daring he feels doing this except for in the faint crinkling of his eyebrows]

[laughitoff]

[amazingly, Wei Wuxian only considers for a second before trying to make the jump up

he doesn't quite get there, though, left scrabbling partway up the side of the mattress]

[strikingchords]

[IT'S SUCH A SHORT JUMP HOW IS IT LIKE THIS

SWOOPS IN AND SCOOPS HIM]

[laughitoff]

[he's very little and very unbalanced by all the tails, it's easy to fuck up :(

he doesn't struggle like the human Wei Wuxian would, though, just shivers all over when he's caught and stares at Lan Wangji with big eyes]

[strikingchords]

[as soon as he got the little fox cuddled in securely against his chest and remembered himself he loosened his grip, anyway; it could wiggle free if it panicked]

Are you all right?

[laughitoff]

[peep...

he's not moving]

[strikingchords]

[...

waits to see if that state of affairs changes...

he's notably not trying to encourage it to. just quiet, like he's letting this "fox being held like a baby" situation settle however it's going to]

[laughitoff]

[Wei Wuxian appears to have settled into 'it's comfortable here'...?]

[strikingchords]

[all right. scritches between the big stupid ears a little, once it becomes clear that the fox is not leaving and Lan Wangji is not going to make it]

Hm.

[laughitoff]

[squeaky little purr '-']

[strikingchords]

You are weary.

[soft, soft petting]

[laughitoff]

[the dumb little purr gets louder...]

[strikingchords]

[sighs and just... stays like that for a while...

he seems pretty relaxed, for Lan Wangji. his breathing and heartbeat are deep and even. his eyes are half closed. maybe petting foxes is good for his blood pressure.

...

when he does eventually get up, he doesn't actually put the fox down, just settles it in the crook of his arm and rises slowly]

[laughitoff]

[there are so many tails bundled against Lan Wangji's chest!

the fox's eyes have definitely closed, though one slides open when Lan Wangji rises]

[strikingchords]

[he's just walking over to turn the lights off and set up a stick of incense in a makeshift stand...]
