( he doesn't typically make use of the network, content to read and stay within his own boundaries but he's feeling a little thoughtful today so.

so, here he is. )

if you had the choice, would you stay alive eternally and watch everyone you love eventually die or would you die young and miss out on a life lived?

[he's not going to Make It Weird by arguing or trying to comfort Shen Yuan over literally dying. instead he sends a picture of a selection of the very nice teas he acquired from his preferred shop in Cellar Door, before his whole mandatory bedrest thing happened.]

Let me know which of these shidi would like to enjoy, and I will prepare it before your next visit.

[xiaoxiuya]

[There is no scenario in which Shen Yuan will turn down a very nice tea.]

Jin-ge is too kind. <3 This one is partial to lapsang, especially when it's brewed by a friend.

[And Shen Yuan in turn will not Make It Weird by reminding Jin Guangyao that he's supposed to be resting. Making tea doesn't take that much effort, and if he's doing that then he's not leaving his house to stage a polite takeover of a restaurant or falling into a mirror dimension or whatever.]

If lapsang is what shidi would like, then lapsang is what shidi will have.

And this Jin Guangyao is always pleased to share tea with a friend.

[there, see, he wrote the word 'friend' down on the network, that means it's official.]

[xiaoxiuya]

[Yay, official friends! Look at them, being all friendly in almost-public, and this time nobody's wearing a cursed mask even!]

Shall I come over this afternoon, then? I can even pick up some new sweets, if Jin-ge's grown tired of cinnamon rolls.

Unfortunately I think the rolls have become stale. I decided it would be best to dispose of them before Huaisang's next visit.

[heaven help them if Nie Huaisang is subjected to A Stale Dessert.]

Please do come by, but do not trouble yourself on my account. There is a pastry shop nearby on my street. I am sure I can step out to pick something up for us.

[xiaoxiuya]

[He told himself he wasn't going to make it weird, but...]

But Jin-ge's already providing the tea! Please allow this one to provide the snacks, it'd only be fair <3

[When whining and scolding fail, pre-school logic may yet prevail. And yes, that's definitely what's going on here, and nothing else.]

[ugh, busted. fine.]

If shidi insists, then of course.

I will be sure that the wards on the gate allow you to come in.

[xiaoxiuya]

[Success!]

Thanks ge ^_^ I'll see you later. Be good!
