hhhh a brilliant plan!

[deferences]

[too late, jin ling, now he's invested.]

Not me, hm? Then who were you somehow planning to kick in all their bodies parts at the same time?

Re: hhhh a brilliant plan!

[fairyherder]

Jingyi, who else?

I don't remember why. But it feels justified.

[deferences]

[sigh] Are you guys arguing again?

One of these days, you two really will get into an actual fight.

[fairyherder]

He started it!

[deferences]

“Two wrongs don't make a right.”

[fairyherder]

Don't recite your sect rules. They don't even apply to me.

[deferences]

That... isn't one of our rules, Jin Ling, but alright, I'll remember that.

[fairyherder]

... well, whatever, I don't understand how you can remember that. There's four thousand rules. Four thousand.

[deferences]

I know, it's a lot. Would you like to know a secret, though?

[fairyherder]

[ if wariness could be heard over text... ]

What secret?

[deferences]

[it'd be a lot better (and far more fun!) to lean into jin ling's ear and whisper like it's an actual thing to keep hush-hush, but he'll make do!]

Sometimes, I forget one here or there.

[fairyherder]

I'd be afraid of you if you didn't. Remembering them all is weird, all of you Lans are weird.

[deferences]

You would be afraid of me? [now there's something he'd like to see.] Oh, and what is your definition of ‘normal,’ then?

[fairyherder]

Everyone but you.

... it doesn't mean it's bad or anything.

[deferences]

It just means different, right?

And there's nothing wrong with that at all.

[fairyherder]

Yeah. Sure.

[ Sizhui is definitely different for one— Jin Ling don't let your mind wander. ]

[deferences]

Do you believe it or are you just agreeing with me?

[is he teasing? hmmm, maybe just a little! and please, jin ling, there's nothing wrong with that, either.]

[fairyherder]

Of course I believe it!

[deferences]

Okay, I was just making sure!

[following an extraordinarily long couple of seconds:] What makes me different?

[fairyherder]

That's...

[ fuck what does he say he's not someone who gives out compliments and now he's just getting embarrassed. ]

[deferences]

[wuh-oh, was that a mistake? sizhui's uncertain either way; backpedaling, however, seems safe enough.]

You— Nevermind, it's okay, you don't have to answer that.

[fairyherder]

[ oh no he messed up. why is he never good with things like this did he make him upset now? ]

You're just. Different. Good different.

[deferences]

[no, he didn't mess up, sizhui did! he should've known better than to put him on the spot like that— and yet he gets an answer anyway.

a good one, even, by jin ling standards.] This might be selfish to say: I like being different.

[fairyherder]

Good. That's... that's good.

[deferences]

How are you feeling now?
