[ He catches that look, dressing in his heavy layers (and hoping his hair will have somewhat dried by the time he makes it down the mountain). Xichen wraps his arms around Wen Kexing's waist and reels him into a hug from behind, hoping to reassure him and kissing his neck. ]
I'll have something to eat sent up to you, if you want it, and finish my business as quickly as I can to return to you.
( Another shiver, Wen Kexing helplessly pressing back into the expanse of Lan Xichen's body. )
Aiya, if you want me to let you actually return to your duties you're going to have to keep your hands off of me. ( How on earth is he possibly supposed to resist, when Lan Xichen is still so warm against him, despite the chill of the water they've just emerged from? ) Come on, show me back. The sooner you go, the sooner you can return. Who knows what I might come up with in your absence? All the more reason to hurry.
[ He could stand there for hours, holding onto Wen Kexing and warming his body with his own. Sadly, he has to step ahead to lead the way to the hanshi, but he slides a hand into his lover's as a guide ... and to rub his thumb over that palm absent-mindedly. ]
What you might find in the hanshi? Feel free to root around, you might surprise even me.
[ A guqin, painting supplies, hidden alcohol under a floorboard by the bed, along with certain ... oils, and plenty of expensive robes folded up for use. Until then, Xichen reluctantly leaves him in the picturesque home he has known all his life and goes to reassure the juniors he hasn't been eaten yet and send up a meal for his guest. ]
