@LunhuiChangdi "Yes but this could be a special dagger meant for stabbing. What's the metal thing anyway?" Tone curious before he eagerly moves so that he could put the pin in his hair.
"Shouldn't we do this somewhere fancier or scenic?"
Sneaking past so that he wouldnβt wake @LunhuiChangdi up and have the other cultivator notice his stitched up finger ( he almost lost it and was able to reattach it . . . kind of )
@LunhuiChangdi Moving his hand insistently for the other to take the hair pin. Of course he made it with his lover in mind but also as a way to mark him as Xue Yang's.
"What is it? Is it a dagger? Are you going to stab me?" Anyone else would've been scared but not him. He's almost hard just β
@LunhuiChangdi A wolfish grin, excitement bubbling in him. Heβs careful as he searches his pockets before taking out something wrapped in cloth and a leather cord. Itβs not hard to untie it to reveal a hair pin with flowers made out of purple jade and pearls.
βI may not be able to afford β
@LunhuiChangdi βWell. . . I found this metalsmith who I almost robbed once but didnβt. I managed to convince him ββ more like threaten arson ββ to teach me how to . . . you know what? Iβll just show you if you let me go.β Itβs a little hard to reach into his pockets when heβs being squeezed.
@LunhuiChangdi Out of reflex he's biting his lover's shoulder. . . but it's more affectionate really. Xue Yang is still more familiar with violence.
"So you're not going to ask how I almost lost my finger?"
@LunhuiChangdi Well. . . he didn't think he would've been able to get away but he was hoping that the other would still be asleep.
"I had a valid reason. I didn't fight anyone this time." Toothy grin of innocence
