( he does not respond. against and despite himself, takes a seat off to the side. brows knit and shoulders tense, as if something had done him in horribly disgusted. ) do not mention it again.
( nothing Murong Chuyi says can disturb his peace, Jiang Yexue leveled him with a soft gaze and a gentle smile as he nodded in assent. )
Why would I give it to you, even if I had it? Wouldn’t that be counterproductive?
why would i * visit you.
( teeth clench and yet he makes no move to leave. he makes no move at all, actually, neither to depart nor sit. only stands there, still and stiff. )
i only meant to ask.
( at that, he chuckles, fixing the blanket on his lap. )
No, I simply missed you too much. I’m grateful you came to visit. Sit, then. I’ll make some tea.
@mindlesszeal ( in the depths of sleeves, nails dig into palms. ) are you done ? there isn’t anyone. i won’t speak about this with you. get out of my sight.
