[he is absolutely intending to save more for the date! it has to have something extra, after all. until then, he lets himself savor the kisses until he's heady with it, until they can't breathe or think past them anymore. even when he finally breaks away for air he mouths at Lan Wangji's jawline like it's a hunger he can't satisfy]
[permission granted, he reaches over long enough to retrieve his qin and settle the carrying-strap over one shoulder, then unfolds himself from his seat to take Wei Wuxian back into the garden maze.
quietly, as they're hunting around for the gazebo:]
After I spoke with you I had a drink with Mora. She somehow slipped that red fairy potion into my drink and started asking me about my death price. She must have guessed at it earlier, because she asked about...
[even now he doesn't want to say it aloud; settles for giving his hand a wave before catching a lock of Lan Wangji's hair and twirling it around his finger]
What you and I had just finished talking about. I didn't confirm it, but it was obvious she hit a mark. And then she grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave, which is very irritating when you don't want to see someone's face. So I'd like to continue to not see her face.
If you stay away, she may eventually seek you out.
[he is still thinking. he is never completely sure how to filter what he hears of Mora's interactions with the Wei Wuxians, because he doesn't disbelieve them, but his experiences with her tend to have less of those elements.]
If she has to come looking for me then she's conceding a bit. If I recall, she said something like...."If you want to run away, you can run away. It's not like I need to chase you."
Ah, but my memory isn't as good as yours so it may have sounded different. Hearing something like that doesn't make me want to go back that easily though.

It will be hard to stop, soon.
no subject
[but, he does want to stop before it tips too far, so he rests his head against Lan Wangji's shoulder in silent capitulation]
I could just fall asleep like this.

May I carry you?

[he's not going to tote him back to Mint if he's avoiding it for non-Lan Wangji reasons]

It would be embarrassing to roll off into the sky. There are gazebos in the garden that are nice enough for sleeping, too.

Mora?
no subject
Hmm. What about her? If you know of any good ways to irritate her, then you should tell me.
no subject
Why?
no subject
[reaches up to smooth out his brow]

gentle, neutral:]
Would you tell me?
no subject
...Sure. But it's not going to sound very impressive.

Are you unhappy, that we transferred?

You asked me this question before and my answer was no. It's still the same. That's not really going to change no matter how many times you ask.
no subject
[simple, soft. it wasn't a trick question. he turns his eyes back to the garden paths they're walking through.]
I am unsure how to advise. She interacts with us differently.

I promise not to get mad, so speak your mind freely Hanguang-Jun.
