Wei-xiong...I'll do my best. But I'll also be dragging you into something with me next week if I have my way, so be prepared.
[ Huaisang felt the impulse for a hug to return again. So he'll go for it, though it's slower and less sudden than last time (that last time had earnestly felt like his life was in danger, but this time it wasn't that, he just wanted hugs. And he felt like nobody else here would allow him to do that.)
But there's also a pause on his end when the other spoke about coming back from the dead once again. ]
...You're right. But, I'm not going to even think about losing you again.
[ He wondered why, when they had that final talk back home before parting ways, that he couldn't even be honest enough to tell him that he was happy he had brought him back. Once again, he never regretted doing what he did, but he did regret being a not so great friend after all that time. ]
Oh? Will it be raiding the library again or do you have something else up your sleeve?
[ There's a playful note to his words.
This time, he actually partially expects something to happen. There isn't any pause as he adjusts his arm to be around the other in an one-armed hug. ]
That goes for you, too. Stay close to me, and I'll watch your back for you.
Later on we could try temporarily sleeping in room 5, but also this week let's check out that workshop together. Maybe if we look around with two eyes, we could find something. I doubt there'll be anything really scandalous in there, though.
[ No trashy novel collection would be found in a workshop of all places...!
But, also, good. That made him feel much better...that might make him really simple, but so what? His friendships in the current time were very limited, and strained at best. The one other person who would have indulged him had been killed through his own designs for the betrayal against him. It was at times like this that he earnestly wondered if there had been a way for things to be as they were before. ]
I won't be out of your sight. So that goes for you too...I'll look out for you in my own way.
[ If someone as so much as looked at his friend wrong he would stare them down! And...look nonthreatening while doing so because he had that kind of face that usually wouldn't work well with that, but it's the thought that counted, right? ]
[ He should learn to pay more attention to who is in the rooms beyond those just next to his.
Also you never know... maybe they will find Hamelin's porn stash. ]
The workshop would be good. I could find bamboo to use to make a new flute.
[ The only person who was physical like this to him was his Shijie. He lost any and all rights to talk to her after being the reason her son will be without his father. ]
I know you will. You are much more capable than anyone ever gives you credit for, Nie-xiong.
[ He always did think that his friend was capable, just would be happier with life with his fans and birds. ]
Oh, nothing. It's just completely fine, but there are some mirrors in there, so I figured why not?
[ Maybe they'd see something there if they stuck around! Probably not but no one has stayed the night in room 5 before as far as he could recall, so...why not?
At that comment, though, he'll feel himself continue to smile. Wei Wuxian always knew him best. Sometimes maybe even better than his brother, though some may think that is a merely a difference of a pinion (yes bird puns live here.) ]
I don't know about that, Wei-xiong. In a place like this especially...I feel like I'd be better suited to just a life where I could paint things and relax with the birds. You, on the other hand, well. I was always waiting for when people would realize your talent.
I'd be good with that. I wonder if they happen to have any buckets around...
[ Though he's not sure how they would construct it, it'd be useful if a bucket fell on top of the person's head who was coming straight into here. ]
...
...It's unfair that things are like that. I've always thought you deserved better.
[ It makes him put out whenever he thought about it. He was unfortunately unaware of shit going down because he had been mostly at the Unclean Realm, taking it easy. And was only made aware of all that transpired afterwards, but still... ]

People only realize my talent when it aligns with their goals.
[ Or when it's certain tools that they want to get their hands on. There is a little bit of a bitter note to his voice. ]
