Why would you want that? That's gross! Don't touch it!

Then I will take that! If someone wants to come and hurt you, I will be able to protect you quickly! This is the best arrangement.

No, it's so simple. Your name is much more prettier.

I have a question for you, why do you think of killing him?

As he struggled, his pupils changed shape, it turned sharper, like that of some type of animal's, with a gaze that looked full of violence.]

[He didn't know how it started. The pain suddenly came like a tidal wave in his mind. He held his head in both hands as if that could do anything to stop that sharp, piercing pain that felt he had just his head sliced open. He fell over, lying down on the ground. +

Huh! Hey! Meanie, give that back!

W-What..?! I- I would never! I...I don't want to make you uncomfortable...

They won't fall off!

[Peacefully in dormant like state, like sleeping. The brocade slightly hums in response.]

[He isn't aware he's basically brocade now.]

[Laughs!]

That's not true! You're joking!

Can I have one that's near yours? This place is, hm, too large, I might get lost when I want to look for you...

Hummm...

[Is something working? Bai Jing doesn't feel like it's working.]

[Stupid grin on his face! He's happy!]

[Hesitates but takes the brush and started writing. It's all just a bunch of "Nangong Jies" and "Ling Wens"]

General Pei is a gallant warrior who fought and stayed loyal to his country. He doesn't need to be killed. Those who think otherwise do not know him.

[Suddenly hugs her by the waist!]

[Tummy hurts, hehe.]

...Well, yes but I'm only used to your name...

[Leans into her.]

Please? Say it one more time?

Oh, okay...

[Tries his best, tries really hard! He doesn't know how he can do it, but if Ling Wen says it is that easy then maybe he could..?]

[!!!!!!!!! LING WEN!!!!!!!!!!!]

D-Do I...really? 🥺

[Blinks when her hand was put suddenly on his mouth. He only stays quiet during all of that, as he follows behind her.]

Oh, I can...I can do that? I didn't know I could do that!

[🥺]

Eh..? Was I? I only say the truth, though...? Ling Wen, do you not like it when I call you pretty?

Yes...I do, please wait...

[From his pocket, he procures a neatly folded white brocade and offers it to Ling Wen.]

[She can whisper it to him, he can listen!]

Hum, I'm okay...but this place is pretty. Not as pretty as Ling Wen, but the flowers are beautiful...
