[strikingchords]

[gentles his fingers a bit, to match the texture of the fur; soft, soft]

[laughitoff]

[so soft]

I just don't understand.

[strikingchords]

[quiet...

watching him with a very strange and gentle expression, unseen]

[laughitoff]

[curls a little tighter into his own arms, in the end, with a soft low whine]

[strikingchords]

[bends his head a little closer, to be heard with voices so low]

...

Will do better. I swear it.

[laughitoff]

I don't think...you're the one here who needs to promise that.

[strikingchords]

Hm.

[he's very relaxed next to Wei Wuxian; Wei Wuxian can't feel any tension there]

Perhaps later. Wei Ying should rest.

[laughitoff]

It's the middle of the afternoon...

[strikingchords]

From weighty talk.

...

Is there peace between us?

[laughitoff]

[nods more enthusiastically]

[strikingchords]

[scritch]

I am satisfied.

[laughitoff]

[his tail wags, a little bit]

[strikingchords]

[...]

Must complete the wards. Assist, if you wish.

[laughitoff]

All right. Why are you adding plants, though--?

[seizing on this in something like relief; this seems like a relatively safe topic]

[strikingchords]

[Wei Wuxian may note that he shifted to it immediately after saying "you should take a rest from weighty talk." not subtle, Lan Wangji.

he rises to gather their plates, with another little hum of thought]

...

I am not certain.

[laughitoff]

[he'll follow him to help clean up, as he has before]

No...?

[strikingchords]

[shakes his head and starts washing before he speaks again...]

It was an impulse.

[laughitoff]

[headtilt]

You're not usually impulsive about your cultivation.

[strikingchords]

Mm.

[hands him the last dish to dry]

Thus, I followed it.

[laughitoff]

[dries it dutifully]

You think it's something about this place? Or your possession?

[strikingchords]

Not enough information to say.

[touches a horn thoughtfully; Wei Wuxian can see his eyes dilate a little and then return to normal. he doesn't seem particularly conscious of it]

...

Unfamiliar. So, it is likely.

[laughitoff]

Hm! Well, maybe it'll have interesting results.

[strikingchords]

...

My sense is that it will extend the influence. Growing with the roots.

[frowns]

Will require testing.

[laughitoff]

That could have a lot of applications. Imagine a living array built like that?

I'll help, if you like. We're both doing gardening.

[strikingchords]

[inclines his head to him]

Your assistance is welcome.
