...

Do not know what answer you want. Or, what pardon to ask.

But, cannot bear to have hurt you, when you might be in danger.

I do not know what to say. Forgive me.

[poofs back to himself after a moment, face hidden in his knees, voice muffled]

There's nothing to forgive.
strikingchords: (trust that i will take it.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
No?

[quietly, to the floor

"you yelled and ran away and showed me your tiny fox teeth" is unspoken context for this question .___.]
laughitoff: (but do you ever wish?)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need a sorry! I don't need you to tell me you'll only accept things given on my terms! I was asking you if you wanted to be friends!
strikingchords: (no irony.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 03:18 am (UTC)(link)

But, I do not understand.

[barks in frustration, very doglike, and badly startles himself further back into the corner]
strikingchords: (and less than forget.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[shuts up, eyes stark and startled on Wei Wuxian's face]
laughitoff: (fear will hold you back.)

[DEEP BREATHS]

So we're friends! That's fine! That's not an imposition on me!

[growls and wraps himself up in his tail

sorry that was the stupidest thing ever]
strikingchords: (mr. blue you did it right.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
...

I am grateful.

What changed your mind?
laughitoff: (Default)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[small and sulky]

Who says it changed.
strikingchords: (irrevocably.)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[he sit quietly at the previously established "Wei Wuxian doesn't get more upset" radius '-' very soft]

We had discussed. But, you would not say it.

I did not know why you were asking again.
laughitoff: (pururun.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
... ... ... maybe it came up again.

Wei Ying.

...

What happened?

[he says it very, very gently, oddly enough]
laughitoff: (down down down we go.)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I got drunk and had a dumb conversation.
strikingchords: bb (562)

[personal profile] strikingchords 2022-05-01 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
...

May I ask more?
laughitoff: (Default)

[personal profile] laughitoff 2022-05-01 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ffffidgets]

Can't you ask more after the game...
strikingchords: (567)
