[absolutely]

[strikingchords]

[it's getting the full treatment, then :X

the next steps depend on whether or not it's soothed into a deep enough sleep to sleep through being removed from the lap again]

[laughitoff]

[if he's very, very gentle about it, it'll paw at the air a little but settle again when put down...]

[strikingchords]

[...]

[how long does it take him to wake up after that, if he's not disturbed :X]

[laughitoff]

[easy enough for him to sleep until nine...]

[strikingchords]

[when he wakes up, he finds:

- Lan Wangji is gone :(

however:

- his fur is MAXIMUM fluffy
- he has been transferred carefully off of Lan Wangji's lap onto his pillows
- he has been established in a nest
- there is a basket of spicy buns by the door, covered with a towel so it's still a little warm
- there is also a bowl of water, and a similarly covered bowl of lukewarm tea
- there's a note at fox height by the door that says "Stay as you like."]

[laughitoff]

[oh my god???]

[strikingchords]

[the door's cracked open so he can get out but there's an extra ward there to make sure he stays safe :(]

[laughitoff]

[does lan wangji come back at any point before late afternoon]

[strikingchords]

[sure, probably around lunch...?]

[laughitoff]

[the basket and bowls have been emptied and nosed carefully into a corner, since he cannot get them to the kitchen, and the nest is still occupied]

[strikingchords]

[oh no...

...

he brought another basket. puts it on the dresser for now, and quietly sits on the edge of the bed to observe the nest occupant in its natural habitat]

[laughitoff]

[so round and so piled with tails]

[strikingchords]

[oh no.

...

does his sitting down seem to have woken it?]

[laughitoff]

[it was snoozing much more lightly than this morning, so he can see the little copper glint of its slitted-open eyes, yes]

[strikingchords]

...

[very quiet and respectful]

Greetings.

[laughitoff]

[sticks a foot out to airpaw in his direction, with a tiny chirp]

[strikingchords]

[holds out his hand to the airpaw also, mirroring the gesture on impulse]

[laughitoff]

[paw
↓
hand]

[strikingchords]

[now they are holding hands. that seems fine.]

...

You rested further.

[laughitoff]

[yawns...]

[strikingchords]

...

[scritches behind the ears with his free hand.]

[laughitoff]

[rrrrrumble

he seems very comforable in Lan Wangji's bed...]

[strikingchords]

[softenssssss...]

...

I brought lunch.

[laughitoff]

[ears perk! eyes open! fox is food-motivated!]
