un: dappled pearl of the parted seas [voice]

[beitangmoran]

Well, that was a lot of excitement for one night, wasn't it?

[Is he going to address any of the allegations that apparently it was him that went streaking through the camp pursued by a bear? Nope, not even a little.]

Really, though, someone ought to feed Master Wei better. That man is positively gaunt.

[ ... on that note, here's Xunxian, carrying in soup.

The bear is napping outside. ]

Hey! I've been way more gaunt, this is progress!

He will be attended.

Can't be that bad, if the bear wanted him...

[Speaking up to... defend? the grandmaster.]

[beitangmoran]

[Give him a moment, absorbed as he is in his note taking, to look up and see who just came into the tent. And then smile.]

What time is it?

[beitangmoran]

There is still progress to be made, Master Wei, although I am glad to see it doesn't impede your energetic manner in this instance.

[beitangmoran]

I have utmost confidence in your abilities concerning this, Master Lan.

[beitangmoran]

I hardly think the bear wanted to eat him.

[topoiran]

[ It might be possible for people to resist Beitang Moran's smile, but those people are not Su Xunxian. It feels as though his knees have been turned liquid already, and it's only the fact that he's felt that effect for years - rare as Moran's smiles can be at times - that keeps him going and moving with his usual casual grace. ]

Time for you to still not be that easily mistaken for young master Wei.

But also late enough that you should consider some sleep if you would like to avoid a headache tomorrow.

[beitangmoran]

[Moran would roll his eyes at the gentle admonishment, except an Imperial Prince doesn't do that. Much.

But fine, fine, he'll set aside all of his reading and writing and hold his hands out for the food.]

This is actually pretty funny. People usually only take a few seconds to realize which is which. I guess him being... in movement did not help that.

[downswing]

You stand alone.

[thesuspense]

...hm.

What, you think it was looking to fuck?

[Why. Why did his mind go there? Why be so crude?]

In that case, I imagine he'd have to look sturdy, at least.

[weifinder]

It'd be troubling if it did, ah?

( his energy's always fine, he runs on sunshine and the hope of alcohol )

[beitangmoran]

... Really? Does no one know how attentive you are to his well-being?

[beitangmoran]

I suppose so.

How long do you think we can keep people wondering which of us it was?

[beitangmoran]

.......... You have interesting leaps of logic, Young Master.

[downswing]

He feeds heartier than before.

[thesuspense]

I have been told that before.

But you are the one insisting the bear can't have wanted to eat him.

[beitangmoran]

Well, of course not. You would know if you had bothered to ask the bear.

[beitangmoran]

That is good to hear, although I shudder at how malnourished he must have been if this is true. There's almost no meat on his bones already.

[downswing]

Your gaze lingered.

[beitangmoran]

It's easy to see even with his clothes on, Master Lan. you but have to look at the differences between the two of us. We're virtually identical apart from that.

[downswing]

Manner. Hair. Garments. Gait. Energy. Music.

[beitangmoran]

Physically, Master Lan. We're identical physically, save for our stature.

[downswing]

Energy. Scars. Gait.
