important matters rarely disappear simply because i attend to them.

(pools of magenta follow her eyes in return,) they will wait.

… this, however, would not.

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

( . . navy hues skirt to the side at that. her only reaction on an otherwise placid disposition. )

don’t you have far more important matters to tend to? I know you’re twice as busy nowadays.

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

… that is not the point.
i did not intend to sleep—although, you *were very comfortable.

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

yes, because you fell asleep. I recall.

( stating matter-of-factly as she folds her arms within her sleeves. )

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

𝓶ust there always be a reason?
… but, truly, we didn’t speak enough last time i visited. i thought i might correct that oversight.

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

( doesn’t lean back even as he enters her personal space, like she would have in the past. )

. . . I know where you’ve been. I should ask why you’re 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, at the Verdigris House.

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

oh? (his brows lift slightly, expression smoothing into something almost delicate.)

no asking where i’ve been? no curiosity or concern at all?

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

I’m only stating the facts.

… I’m glad your scar seems to have healed well, Sir.

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

“quite some time,” you say ..and yet you sound ͟r͟e͟m͟a͟rkably unaffected.

how cold of you, maomao.

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

it’s. . been quite some time. @hisjadegrace

the way she looks after pulling all that dramatic act kills me every time, she’s enjoying this too much

“maomao took off with someone 😔..…. 👀”

[Tarsi🦋 @shadowarlok]

I love how Maomao is always interested in something else, but Jinshi only looks at her no matter what

his voice lilting with theatrical exasperation, violet eyes narrowing ever so slightly towards her.

〝 though，if i’m being honest… i don’t think i’m built for your kind of experimentation.. not without warning，anyway. 〞

as she drifted toward the desk，his eyes followed attentively * in that way he often pretended not to be. a relieved sound left him，halfway taut between a hum and a breath.

〝 so, all it took was.. sleep？ 〞

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

he’d accepted his defeat much more gracefully than she’d anticipated. she glances up at him far too innocently for someone who had just claimed victory by means of seduction, clearly on the verge of a smile herself.

“you said it, not me.”

she seems much better than —

he’d finally rise，stepping closer as his arms folded loosely over his chest, glancing at the notes she’d begun surveying.

“ for a moment, i nearly thought i’d have to haul you to the pleasure district 𖬺 consult your father. ”

more the impression of one waiting to form，caught somewhere between flustered and annoyingly charmed.

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

the warmth of her legs cinched around his waist, the delicate graze of her finger trailing along the edge of his jaw—her proximity unravelled him faster than any political ambush ever had.

[𝗆𝖺𝗈𝗆𝖺𝗈. 薬屋 @toxinaficionado]

how childish and melodramatic. but then again, he’s easiest to get along with when he’s like this. no stuffy, formal airs; just a glimpse of his true self.

a lone brow arches as she then deadpans.

“I grew up in a brothel.”

. . she really had riled him up, hadn’t she? she —

[jinshi. @hisjadegrace]

she’s playing a dangerous game
..but she’s clearly very good at it.

a breath hissed softly through his teeth as he’d finally rise. “i suppose i deserved that.” the corner of his mouth twitched— not quite a smile，
