...

Take my clothes off. Then come here.

[Comes closer first, and then reaches for her clothes??? The ones she's wearing???]

[ YANKS HER SCARF AROUND HIS NECK ]

No, these.

[Whiny dragon noises]

Why! You are not in need of them! Selfish!

Because I don't have enough extras to replace them if you destroy them.

[ starts removing them from him herself then, slowly. ]

Why is that my problem?

[There's some squirming, but Val is old hat by now with squirming, attention-wanting Emanators, so she can get her scarf and coat and one (1) sock off while Dan Feng throws a tantrum on the deck.]

[Oozes all over him!!]

You must help me with something.

[He laughs softly. She's probably heard that in her dreams, fragments of the High Elder whose identity she bore.]

Better the snake you know, my dear.

[There's a pause, and then a hand tries to pet the top of her head.]

[Dan Feng sticks his tongue out. He's never done that before. But he does so now, lounging back into the pile of paving stones Yingxing actually needs to finish paving.]

I want fish.

[He only says this to be contrary, his hand already trying to pet Dan Heng's tail.]

Mmmhm. I'm guessing his goal was likely to bring you here, so anything more than a sedative would have been overkill.

Right.

[Have mercy on his poor soul, Yingxing.

Dan Heng would like to be entirely focused on work, but it's hard when Yingxing is... well, Yingxing.

He's surprised much of anything got done in the artisanship commission during his time. Dan Heng makes his way over, offering Yingxing the beam and doing his best to pretend he hasn't been staring.]

We don't have fish right now, but if you buy some or catch some, I'll cook it. Deal?

[He knows Dan Feng is just being contrary, his tail booping the other in the forehead.]

...I need to concentrate on cooking.

... As... family, it is your responsibility to care for me. Is it not?

[ takes them and tosses them into the room.

Then she reaches up to take his face so she can pull him back in to her. ]

[His braincells are busy thinking about this, because 90% of him is allergic to openly caring, but he did see her as family, and huh what is she doing? He blinks down at her. His eyes glow a little. His tail swishes against the deck.]

What?
