Vagaries.

Whimsy.

[one_note]

[one_note]

Where are we?

Bound by who?

[strikingchords]

Not enough information to say.

[one_note]

[strikingchords]

[nods]

One lives here.

The other, with me.

[one_note]

[strikingchords]

[hesitates]

Whole, from the time of their departure.

[one_note]

Their departure.

[strikingchords]

...

The Wei Ying of my time remembers as I do.

So too my older self, and the Wei Ying of fourteen years more.

[one_note]

[with a little difficulty; hoarse]

Fourteen years.

[strikingchords]

[...

...

he's going to come in the gate and head up the path to the door; nodding at the other Lan Wangji to follow]

[one_note]

[ok. ok ok ok ok ok ok ok cool cool cool cool]

[strikingchords]

[I AM GOING TO TAKE YOU INTO YOUR OWN KITCHEN AND MAKE YOU TEA HOW YOU LIKE IT, MY GUY

he's as familiar with this kitchen as his own, at this point; easily done.]

[one_note]

[grips the cup with only a little tension in his fingers once he's offered it, nodding thanks]
