[ there's a brief moment when binghe tenses at the touch, suddenly reaching upwards -
but then, he realizes it's shen qingqiu. his hand flexes, once, mid air, still tense... but slowly, it relaxes again, and he begins to set it down on his chest. ]
...Shizun. [ he greets, quietly. not asleep, after all. ]
[ his voice is quiet- mild even despite the sudden uncharacteristic action, hand shifting to stroke his hair soothingly through the sudden movement. ]
I heard commotion earlier.
[ apparently he missed the majority of it being wherever he was (in the library, cucumber slices over his eyes) but it’s clear enough to even a smooth brained idiot like him to figure his..... his partner saw at least some of what occured ]
[ another moment, and slowly, he relaxes fully to the fingers in his hair, eyes starting to flutter a bit where he's settled, until they're closed. he tilts his head up into the pets, like a puppy, because of course he does. ]
...Mm. [ his answer comes a moment later, eyes still closed. ] I went out in the snow with Lucilius - we found someone's body. The swordsman with the glasses. It disappeared before we got a good look at it, but he was dead.
Perhaps. As far as I could tell, his limbs were broken, before he vanished from sight.
[ that feels nice.... uuu.... some of the tension starts to ease out of him with every scritch. still, binghe shifts where he's laying, letting shen qingqiu continue to pet the puppy as he talks. ]
I don't want to stay here - this place is dangerous. But...I tried to use Xin Mo to open a portal and was unable to.
[ yeah he
has xin mo still. that was the point of this whole pc that i set on the day of your cyoa on accident its fine, ]
[ HE HAS XIN MO??????????????? is his eyes closed still because sqq absolutely blanches for a moment. thank goodness it's not working like everything else?? ]
It seems whatever brought us all here has also sealed all of our powers.
[ grumbles about it but at least they aren't completely helpless. ]
[ he nods... finally, binghe looks back up at him again, his expression soft, brows knit together, just in time to catch that blanched look before it disappears. ]
Mm. That's the only reason we're still here. It's given me a headache, too...
Mm. [ at that, he turns over again in Shen qinqiu’s lap, head tucked against his thighs. who’s the thigh hugger now. ] Maybe shizun will keep helping this humble disciple feel better until then.
[ or he'll just spend more time worrying than keeping an eye on himself. who knows what he'd do if something happened. something tells him binghe's protag halo has been nerfed after all. it's much more possible than usual for him to be hurt right now.
the just thought makes a frown form between his brows however and a protective edge form in his pets because no one??? is allowed?? to harm binghe?? ]
[ there's a moment where he just kind of looks at shen qingqiu, not quite shaken or surprised but... almost curious.
it stays for a second, scanning his face, before he decides ultimately to turn his cheek back into his thigh and snuggle in for more of those pets. sure. ]
What a lucky disciple I am. [ uuuu. his voice is gentle, pleased. ] Shizun's kindness is unmatched.
[ he Saw That. but also looked away intensely because that requires far more than he'll ever be able to say. just know you're important to him binghe!! even if he is the biggest fool of them all!!
to that though he just quietly continues stroking his binghe's hair, letting that speak more than his words ever will. ]
[ something tells him everyone around them wouldn't allow them to keep such a dream though. with binghe's protag halo, somehow he feels as if though there'll always be something else to deal with. even h*rry p*tter never got a break after all. ]
[ a quiet place within the bamboo grove with binghe by his side. it sounds like a dream given how much has happened since his disciple was a small white bun. to return to such a time.....

Perhaps wait until we discover the cause of all this.

I’ll do my best and keep you safe, too...~

Binghe must keep himself safe as well.

Is Shizun worried about me?

but hmmmmm okay. hairpets now. this is good; he'll just stay like this, letting shen qingqiu's clever fingers soothe away his headache. ]

[ it does sound languid, doesn't it? it sounds really, really nice.
forget about the hell murder cabin nightmare that they're in, let's just have domestic shizun fantasies now. ]

I would like that.
[ a quiet place within the bamboo grove with binghe by his side. it sounds like a dream given how much has happened since his disciple was a small white bun. to return to such a time.....
it sounds like the perfect "happily ever after" ]
