In case I am to bring you food. It wouldn't be good to ignore the rest of your family.

[lanclan]

Oh, I don't live with them. Please feel free to take them whatever you wish without cooking for everyone at once.

[wifedup]

Well, whoever you're staying with then.

( HE'S COOKING. )

[lanclan]

I'm not staying with anyone, I am in a cave.

[wifedup]

All right.

Then I'll see you later. You better stop by the time the sun sets, otherwise I'll have to track you down further from the caves and I'm very tired.

[lanclan]

I will be sure to visit my good, very tired friend. Where are you?

[wifedup]

Currently? In a river.

Or, no. Beside one.

[lanclan]

Are you dirty?

[wifedup]

Usually I get wined and dined before someone asks me that :D

( Harmless flirting, what can beat it? )

And no, unfortunately I can't adhere to the vegetarian lifestyle. I'm fishing.

[lanclan]

:)

I have eaten fish in the past, please do not tell my brother.

[wifedup]

I would never betray Lan Huan's trust like that.

( ... Well. )

[lanclan]

Please do not.

What can I give you in exchange for a fish?

[wifedup]

Your company.

And the promise that if you don't know what to do with it once I bring it you'll let me take care of the cooking. Ah-Xu tried once and broke it's gallbladder. Poor Chengling was almost sick to his stomach.

[lanclan]

[ Why is cooking so hard??? ]

... Perhaps if you bring the fish, I can barter for a little wine.

[wifedup]

( Pfft. You'll learn. )

It's a deal. Though do not pressure yourself. I'm a little worried the merchants will take one look at you and take advantage.

[lanclan]

I have Shuoyue with me. My robes are not as fine as they were months ago but she cuts an imposing sight, in a pinch.

[wifedup]

I'm sure Lan Huan is imposing indeed, but that matters very little to the shrewd. You look like a gentleman. Gentlemen are often very stupid.

( Says the man pretending to be one. )

[lanclan]

Then I will endeavour to be "savvy" like Wen Kexing.

[wifedup]

See to it. If I get a reputation here because I have to threaten a vendor on your behalf I'll be upset.

[lanclan]

That will be unnecessary, I don't want you in trouble on my account. I suspect if your zhiji were to arrive, he would have some appropriately harsh words for me.

[wifedup]

Ha.

Please, Ah-Xu wouldn't care. As long as I'm not hurt he's fine. Even sometimes if I am, especially if he's cruelly assuming I deserved it.

[lanclan]

You sound very happy together. It's good to know you have a happy home awaiting you.

[wifedup]

( Does he? He hopes so. If he can find a cure for Zhou Zishu's illness then that's all that matters. The rest of his problems seem immaterial. But still, every now and again he's seized by the fear that something will go terribly wrong. )

It is, isn't it? I'm very lucky.

[lanclan]

You and Hua Cheng give me a sense of peace, knowing you are respectively well taken care of.

[wifedup]

Are you a guardian of the besotted then?
