day 47

[manufact]

[ this is your catchall for ogling a sweaty hot grandpa at work.

either he's hammering away at the forge, or hauling beams and stones into place, carefully securing everything exactly where it needs to be with utmost precision. he's focused. entirely in his element. ]

Re: day 47

[eggshell]

[He'd be laying down one of the stones for a path when the peanut gallery sucks a breath through his teeth in very loudly.]

[manufact]

[ there he is, the lizard in his shadow. ]

Can I help you with something?

[eggshell]

Isn't that angle more auspicious? That one.

[manufact]

What? [ you doubt miette?? ] Where?

[eggshell]

[He points- makes a turn the stone around motion- honestly because this gives him a great angle of Yingxing's ass when he bends over to pick the stone up again.]

[you can't tell he's watching behind a mask. obviously. OBVIOUSLY.]

[manufact]

[ yeah. definitely can't tell at all. definitely can't see his eyes, or anything, or feel them boring into him. yingxing keeps working for a few seconds, securing a beam in place before he wipes his brow and glances over his shoulder. ]

Yeah?

[lifeban]

[the mask doesn't save him from the blush reaching all the way to his pointed ears.

playing dumb.]

Yeah?

[manufact]

[ for a moment they just. stare at each other. before yingxing finally shrugs. ]

All right, well, ogle all you want, I suppose. I'm giving it away for free, here.

[lifeban]

[a brief pause for internal screaming,,]

Quite generous, considering.

[skypiercing]

[And another lizard for the peanut gallery can be caught dropping a beam on his toes with a sharp hiss that is only partially pain.

...He still isn't looking away though.]

[manufact]

[ the sound of the beam hitting the ground catches his attention, and yingxing pauses where he's fixing a bit of molding in place. ]

Woah, hey, be careful!

[skypiercing]

I-I'm fine.

[He barely feels it????

Mostly because he's been extremely distracted by the intent, focused look on Yingxing's face and the sweat... running down his jaw...

Ow. He winces, looking embarrassed.]

..It barely clipped me.

[manufact]

It fell directly on your foot.

[ he glances down, then up to dan heng's face again. ]

It's still there.

[skypiercing]

Huh?

[He wants to lick hi--

Ahem.]

...Ah, right...

[Don't mind him bending down to pick up that beam. He feels a little warm. The work they've been doing, surely.]

[vitainmorte]

[



yeah. that's good soup. ]

[manufact]

[ three lizards and a bird walk into a bar to ogle an old man - ]

Here to help?

[ he gives his head a shake in the sunlight. sweat glistening. fabio moment. ]

[vitainmorte]

[ really good. burning this into her memory. ]

... I'm afraid Dan Feng decided to poison me. But I would be happy to help later, as repayment for letting me rest here.

[manufact]

He what?

[ yingxing's hold on the stone he's carrying slips, and he has to tip forward to renew his grip. ]

Goddamn lizard -

[vitainmorte]

Ah... he does this sort of thing a lot, so please don't worry. I'll take care of it.

[lionsleeps]

[Jing Yuan was helpful for awhile, but he's quit now in favour of lounging around and watching other people work. At the moment he's enjoying a bubble tea he got somewhere and leaning against a post, oggling Yingxing without an inch of shame.]

We're going to have to make sure you never run out of projects.

[manufact]

[ right now, yingxing is at the forge, hammering out a few quick brackets. glancing up from his work, he arches a brow. ]

You too, huh? I should start charging by the hour.

[lionsleeps]

As if you don't enjoy the ego boost.

[Jing Yuan laughs, light and sunny, free of the melancholy haze that usually surrounds him. He's having a good day. All his people are here and it feels almost like home.]

[manufact]

[ that's a good sound. even better is the warmth jing yuan is emitting. yingxing smiles. ]

Maybe I do, but I might as well make some silver off of my hard work, too.
