having untangled from the crab hold sleeping position that is attempting to keep bertholt in line, xie lian is up and going to meditate very early this morning.
however, this is interrupted, because there is a shriek when he opens the closet. ]
What in the world--?! [ and should bertholt not sleep through this unusually loud noise, he will see that xie lian is holding the fabric of his silk robes out from the closet - and they are splattered with something red. ]
[ xie lian will pull out the silks for bertholt to see entirely - sure enough, they are splattered with blood. it is incredibly stark, because his usual robes are purely white. ]
I wore these yesterday. [ as everyone saw at the town meeting!!! ] What... what happened? [ ???? ]
[ thankfully, there is no corpse?? xie lian just looks wildly concerned, as he pulls the robes out fully. nothing else in there appears bloodied at all. ]
They didn't stain anything else, either...? It does look - [ he pauses, pressing his finger against the red - it's still sticky and fresh, and pulling it closer to smell makes his nose wrinkle. ] It's certainly real, or at least a very good illusion.
[ what the french fried fuck.
all of that is deeply concerning. what is also concerning is that he only has one other outfit, having put the rest of his clothes he borrowed back, nicely washed, and that is one that he does not know how to put on.
