It'd be difficult for him to help on second-hand information. Learning from the source is best.
That is not what I meant, A-Ling. I know you... get it. But that's different. I do feel bad because he does. But he can't help how he feels. That's not the same as making me feel bad on purpose.
but he shouldn’t feel bad in the first place!! or if he does then he shouldn’t tell you!!
you didn’t do anything wrong and neither did he and it’s i just
he knows perfectly well that he does that look where it’s like he doesn’t even have to say anything and suddenly you feel like you’re the biggest disappointment and need to train for the next seventy two hours straight
It's all right. You haven't. And I do like them, too, you know. I have absolutely no reason to make you stand up for how all of us are alone, or anything like that.
There's a difference between when he *looks* disappointed and when he *is*. Sometimes they match!
Please don't train for seventy two ours straight. Neither of us have reach cultivation high enough for that.
it's not the same my uncles could give me grief if they wanted but they can't the only one who possibly could is jiujiu and he's getting married to two people soon so he won't
if my dad wasn't here i'd be sect leader. even hanguang-jun can't actually tell me what to do if i decide i don't want to.
but i don't want to do anything that would make you sad so i don't mind being the one to blame for stuff if that's what's necessary even though i really don't think we're doing anything wrong anyway
well it would be worse when they matched, then?? that's what i'm saying
this isn't
i'm just worried about you?? there is that clearer
okay it's really cute that you took me literally though i'm not going to train for seventy two hours straight don't worry
A-Ling. You were at Dafan Mountain. You must be aware just how unimpressed Hanguang-jun is by the title of sect leader.
Anyway no. It's fine. You are not to blame, there isn't anything to blame anyone *for*, okay? We are not complying with the rules exactly, but then the rules in question are a little vague and up to interpretation and I do not think we have broken them either. Well, maybe a little while I was hesitating, but in all fairness, Yuri surprised me back then.
Thank you. I'm unhappy that he is disappointed with me, but I think it would be worse if I started lying to myself, or to him. So I won't. It'll just take a while to sink in. All around.
It's I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT'S WRITTEN OUT. JUST IN CASE.
Mostly because I wouldn't be surprised if he has done it. Seventy two hours and all.
he could be as unimpressed as he wanted but he wouldn’t have the right to reprimand me [ But it would continue to be incredibly effective anyway...
he couldn’t help but grin a little at the caps lock. Cute... A-Yuan was cute... ]
i bet he would too
okay i just
i don’t think you should lie either i was just hoping maybe we would get some time to just be ourselves before the elders started deciding things for us or judging us or whatever
But the thing is, he didn't decide for me. He didn't tell me to not, or to stop, or anything like that. He's just sad.
Because he tried so much to give me safety and good things. And
And I can't be a proper Lan.
So it's - he always knew I'm not. This is just reminding him.
He's not judging me for it.
He's judging himself for failing to make it so I will be safe and... all right.
Anyway. It. It's enough that you're not the kind of worried that will make you back off. I'm here. There are things that - I couldn't know about myself before this place. So we will all have to get used to them. It's just upsetting until we do, but it's not the bad kind of upsetting. At least... the kind that will make things bad in the long run. I don't think.
A-Ling. You take good care of me, you know. You're there when I need you, even when I haven't even thought that you do. You also make sure I don't just. Let things happen, instead of trying to make them better. You remind me I deserve things, when I just don't think about it. You don't need to prove anything else to anyone.
[ Well, good, because Sizhui might have cried a little if Jin Ling sent that. But just a little. ]
I appreciate that. What's one more thing, with a Wen [ very, very deleted. But ... truly. But it matters to Jin Ling, and that makes the thought - hurtful. He tries to shut it away. ]
But no, I think something like a marriage - it can't be done rushed or not right, no matter how much you may want to give it to him.
We'll figure it out. At least there was his birthday, and we can figure out other special occasions? Ones that matter here and now, not - not attempts to recreate the past.

So, what about your dad?
no subject
but thats
you ARE a proper lan, what’s that even supposed to mean
you are safe
you are all right
who does he think I am, that i wouldn’t make sure you were okay???
i’ll be more than enough
just wait
you’ll see
i’ll prove him wrong
he just
he said some stuff
if he says weird things to you just let it go okay
no subject
... okay. Are *you* okay?
no subject
He hates how that makes him choke up a little. Good thing he's alone!!!
...
But he also just can't address any of that, so he won't!! Moving on!! ]
yeah, i just
feel really guilty i guess
he just reminded me there's a lot of stuff he's not going to see
or witness
or be there for
and maybe i should be trying harder to
i don't know
no subject
If there is anything that I can help with.
Anything.
You know that I would, right?
no subject
i just
i know you would and you wouldn’t even think about whether or not it would be a bad thing for you
but i can’t just try to recreate the life he’s going to miss for him
that wouldn’t be honest either
no subject
Why would it not be g
It would need to be. Considered.
It's
It's not even about it not being good for me?
But considering this place. I wouldn't want to make you an oath breaker by asking an oath of you.
But on the other hand, I can understand where he is coming from, too. And none of this is because either of us wants to hide.
no subject
If your actually fated person appeared I[ deleted. ]but of course i understand
it's not like i want him to miss all of that
even back home i
even things like
my birthday
i think about them
of course i do

hurts, i guess
or recreate a future i don’t even know and honestly don’t want to think about
what kind of special occasions?
