Is that so. I'm quite used to sleeping around abandoned and ruined buildings.
[ Caves aren't like... Too different, he guesses. With the clothesline done, he looks at their supplies and starts organizing. They brought. So much. ]
You didn't cause us trouble. [ Genuinely. ] If anything, I just didn't want to hear more of Herlock Sholmes and Kaburagi Kotetsu's reasoning for whatever they were trying to do.
I had to listen to Kaburagi Kotetsu try to avidly involve Herlock Sholmes in a previous discussion, despite Yuri Lowell saying he wasn't against it.
[ Joonghyuk was so close to slotting Wild Detective as his notp. ]
[ xie lian, 800 years from now, will understand this perfectly. however, at 25ish he is still just a baby.
xie lian glances over from where he's affixing the last clothing line and then makes his way to join joonghyuk, separating out little packs so people all have places to sleep, and listens. ]
... mm. Me too. [ he flashes him that tired smile, after a moment of quiet. ] That is precisely what happened, and it put the Celestials in danger. I told him off for it, and apologized for losing my temper, but... ultimately, I stepped back because I didn't want to cause them any hurt, either. So, it was a bit surprising - even so, I cannot control what others think of me, nor do I want to.
[ xie lian tilts his head. ]
...I thought that you might have had one, though. I had put together something of a list before Mr. Sholmes was involved, and you were high on it. [ he laughs a little. ] But I knew that you wouldn't tell me even if you did, or hadn't already told Mr. Dokja! You are so stubborn.
[ says xie lian, who is also incredibly stubborn. ]
I don't believe anyone thinks of you poorly. Alisaie Leveilleur didn't like sitting and listening... In ways, maybe it would have been better if her brother had the role.
[ But what's done is done and Joonghyuk doesn't have a say in who gets roles and who inherits them. Niah merely rests here before yawning. It seems like the supplies have been properly organized. ]
As secretive as I am, I made myself somewhat suspicious in hopes to gain another's attention. Kim Dokja didn't know till recently, but now I wonder if I had left him in the dark, if perhaps he would have told me about his plan in detail.
[ So... Is a role a curse? A blessing? He isn't sure and he solemnly watches the fire dance in the cave. Would they have had words if things were different? ]
It's in the past. [ ... ] You will be fetching Mantou's item?

All I wanted was to work.

xie lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry ]
... Mantou?
[ ARE YOU REALLY CALLING HIM THAT ]
no subject
yjh, taking mantou: this is a friendly spite nickname now ]
Mantou.
[ Yes. ]
no subject
... You know that was an allusion to him being my believer, don't you...?
[ xie lian, once again, not sure whether to laugh or cry this is so stupid
ANYWAY, much more serious: ] ...yes, that is the plan. I have arranged to return to Mt. Tonglu - it is our homeland, anyway.

[ Should have used a different story, to be honest. In the end, Joonghyuk somehow landed on the right opinion using the wrong method. ]
Through a window?
no subject
It... nevermind...
[ look he realizes it was a bad metaphor
anyway. ] En. Hua Cheng said it would be achievable, so. I've already spoken to two I would take with me.
...I will not fail him. No matter what it takes.

I'm sure you won't or else you wouldn't be able to live with yourself.
