Things are okay...I mean given where we are and everything.

[deadwenwalking]

If you ever find yourself in trouble, you can always call on me.

Though I'm sure you'd prefer a different option.

["If Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji aren't available" probably should have been the given.]

[jinlingers]

[ Jin Ling has started to warm even before coming to hell -- pun not intended -- to Wen Ning. He knew the truth now and he knew what the other had done to try and make sure he didn't get hurt in the Temple. So maybe there's still his general distrust of people but most of his malice is gone not that he's all that willing to let on about it. ]

Mm...

Hypothetically... if Hanguang Jun was going to kill me could you stop him?

[deadwenwalking]

No...

Second Young Master Lan is stronger than I am.

But he would never want to kill you, young master.

[jinlingers]

Don't be so sure about that!

Thanks though.

[deadwenwalking]

I don't know why it would be a concern, young master.

But if it does become necessary, Wen Ning will be a shield for you.

[jinlingers]

Because... Nevermind.

Maybe it won't be but I'm not holding my breath.

[deadwenwalking]

If you're worried you've done something to upset him

I don't think he would punish you too much. We're already in Hell.

[jinlingers]

Maybe. He's more intimidating somehow.

[deadwenwalking]

We're not in our own world, so everything feels different. Always less assuring.

[jinlingers]

Sometimes I really hate it.

[deadwenwalking]

Have you talked to Master Wei about it?

[jinlingers]

He's embarrassing.

He thought I had a crush on him.

[deadwenwalking]

[. . .]



Really?

[jinlingers]

Really.

[deadwenwalking]

I would say he was probably teasing you, but honestly I don't know and I shouldn't be too surprised.

[jinlingers]

He was definitely not teasing.

[deadwenwalking]

Then you can tease him about it in the future.

I'm sure you'll be fine when it comes to Master Lan. You're important to Master Wei, which means he wouldn't hurt you.

[jinlingers]

Maybe if I ever don't want to forget it ever happened.

I guess I'm a little lucky.

[deadwenwalking]

It also won't hurt to be polite.

[jinlingers]

Are you saying that I'm rude?

[ Is it a joke? To be or not to be. ]

[deadwenwalking]

I'm saying you're an honest young man who likes to vocalize his thoughts.

[jinlingers]

And you don't think that's polite?

[deadwenwalking]

I think it's dependent on the situation.

[jinlingers]

I guess I'm fine with being rude sometimes.
