[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?]

[strikingchords]

[turns his head very slightly to look at the fox right next to his face]

You were hiding.

[laughitoff]

[blinks at him innocently]

[strikingchords]

Do you wish a safer place?

[laughitoff]

[puts a tiny paw on his face]

[strikingchords]

[puts a hand gently and seriously on top of the paw.]

[laughitoff]

[chirps at him]

[strikingchords]

Come with me. I will protect you.

[laughitoff]

[...

pops his head out from under the couch]

[strikingchords]

[releases paw, leans back, and slowly and carefully rises to his feet...]

[laughitoff]

[wriggles the rest of the way out, panting]

[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]
