I too may earn coin.

[weifinder]

Recall what? Pleasant things only, please!

[downswing]

Wei Ying. Be serious.

[weifinder]

Why would you think I'm not?

Please, Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

At times, difficult to know Wei Ying's true mind.

[weifinder]

Now you understand how I feel!

[downswing]

What I omit through silence, Wei Ying masks through excess.

[weifinder]

And so you begin to see what is like inside my mind at all times!

[downswing]

A storm, unsettling. Is that so?

[weifinder]

I'm not sure you can recall from the times you've drunk since, but it muffles everything. Including storms.

[downswing]

The path of the cowardly or the sick.

[weifinder]

Or the sad or the haunted. There's reasons enough.

[downswing]

You barely drink now. Good?

[weifinder]

Better, and it's been... even less helpful here.

( yeah.

... yeah. )

[downswing]

...shall brew you tea each day, each meal, with my two hands.

[weifinder]

The company is cherished.

[downswing]

The tea detested?

[weifinder]

The tea is fine, but only the company can't be replaced.

[downswing]

Ah. A romantic.

[weifinder]

A surprise?

[downswing]

Was flirtation with every young woman nearby romantic?

[weifinder]

Strategic and friendly!

[downswing]

What difference between it and otherwise?

[weifinder]

The only time I've ever intended to follow through has been with you, ah?

[downswing]

Then, why attempt with others?

I ask to understand.

[weifinder]

People responded better? It's fun? I'd pretend I think about it, but I really don't, Lan Zhan, it's just what's easiest or most natural, I suppose.
