[ That was awful. Huaisang didn't like the climax of that trial, not truly, though to be quite honest, he had been afraid the alternative ending to the trial would've ended with another innocent's death other than SQ. Though it had not happened, from what was discussed at trial, he wouldn't be surprised if it was a near thing.
That being said, Huaisang knew what it was like to be the center of suspicion and fear for their life. Even if what had happened a week ago wrapped up far swiftly and wasn't towards the end of trial.
He had his concerns, nonetheless. He liked being around Yeager, after all...even if he was incredibly upset over SQ's death. Which was why he waited a bit to make sure he had time for himself before seeking the other out.
The Sect Leader will head towards Yeager's room and gave the door a gentle rap. ]
Yeager? Are you in? And if you are, may we please speak for awhile?
[It's not difficult to see how worked up Huaisang's been through all of this. He noted as much as he left Wuxian's body and he knew it wouldn't be easy for Huaisang today. Given how poorly things went the whole time, it wouldn't be a surprise if Huaisang's holed up in his room, wanting to be alone.
But last week when Yeager was doing the same thing, Huaisang stopped by. It was... strange and unnecessary and something he still isn't entirely sure he understands, but it was also important to him in a way he can never express. It meant something that someone - someone he didn't know from home - wanted to stop by to check on him.
So... maybe Huaisang will feel the same way. The problem is that Yeager needs to knock on the door.
Okay, maybe that's not the actual problem. The actual problem is that he needs to greet Huaisang and say something that isn't stupid. He needs to say something that isn't about how much of a mess the trial was, or how totally awful it is to lose your friend(?) or... something horribly dumb that'll just make things worse. His presence isn't exactly a comfort to begin with, he's aware of that, so he needs to be careful with how to approach this.
So the end result is him standing in front of the door with a hand raised to knock and looking like he's thinking very hard, but you know what he's actually trying for once.]
[After the incident in the ice maze, it's no wonder both of them are eager to get out of the cold and go someplace better. The peach museum is absolutely better, but it's mostly because Huaisang can get back to work on his paintings and Yeager can watch, because a distraction sounds excellent right about now.
Yeager's quick to shed his winter gear, revealing that yes, he is indeed still wearing a full suit underneath it. That's just how it goes, he continues to be like this all the time. He takes a seat nearby and props his elbow on the table, then his chin on his hand.]
I see you did take me up on that lovely idea from last time! I noticed some gorgeous new paintings, after all~
[He was absolutely snickering every single time we passed one, of course.]
Trial was an absolute shitshow, like every other week. But this time it was even moreso than last week's in Huaisang's opinion. Which is probably like...biased?
It is what it is, though. He couldn't change any of what happened even if he tried.
One of his concerns now happened to be someone he cared about; he didn't miss that reaction at trial! Which was reasonable for a variety of reasons he could come up with, and some of which he was sure he wouldn't know even if he tried to imagine. So here he was, knocking on Yeager's door. ]
