oh my god

[blyat]

[WHAT IS THIS MESSAGE????]

the hell are you talking about

lsmffsd

[laozu]

I met your cute navigator when he arrived here! Mister Abel! We held hands and everything!

[blyat]

what the fuck were you holding hands for

[Unlike Abel, he actually does get somewhat jealous... although this is partly influenced by the significance of physical contact in this place.]

[laozu]

I was just comforting him in your absence. How could I ignore him in his time of need?

[ oh no cain's fun to poke ]

[blyat]

[Good thing he knows you're full of shit. This might also hold more weight if Cain wasn't as secure in where he stands with Abel now, more so than ever. But he doesn't know this guy that well, and Abel is naive...]

so hes making friends
try anything weird and ill fuck you up

[laozu]

Yes! I'd like to think we're friends, and the same for you and I. (╯✧∇✧)╯

Which brings me back to my original reason for reaching out to you! The next time we all fall into a mass dream, skip winter. Bring him with you and I'll show you the best places to fish along the river, I'll even pole the boat so you can both relax and enjoy.

[blyat]

i barely fucking know you

[Who ignores a blatant threat like that?]

not planning on falling into those dreams any time soon
who says it can even happen again

[laozu]

You know my name and that I'm afraid of dogs, you have the ADVANTAGE!

[ someone who's been threatened by a hella' powerful woman with a whip all his life ]

Are you really that mad at me for a little prank? I won't do it again, I promise! We'll inevitably be exposed to something weird - where one strange thing happens, other events are soon to follow. It's just the way of things, "raining and pouring", you know?

[blyat]

[That isn't the point at all... UGH, THIS GUY.]

that shits not the reason i dont trust you
i just dont trust you
and some trip into dream fantasy land doesnt change it over night

[laozu]

Well, I won't BEG you to trust me. Still, I'm not a terrible person who has it out for you or anything. I'll be nicer though; I want to keep speaking with mister Abel without you threatening me so often after all. I wouldn't mind speaking with you more either.

[blyat]

so are you always like this

[laozu]

What? Blisteringly cheerful and lacking in a sense of personal boundaries?

No, not always. It's who I like to be, though.

[blyat]

well its annoying

[Give him time.]

not gonna stop you from talking to abel, he can do whatever he wants

[laozu]

You're just grouchy.

[ listen, he's PERSISTENT, ask lan wangji............ ]

That's wonderful. I think he's a wonderful young man, and I didn't want to get to know him while excluding someone so important to him. That's all - plus, you're DARLING when you're grumpy.

[ i swear he's not flirting ( consciously ) he's just Like This ]

[blyat]

[Like... does this guy want a threesome, or what... also, Cain's teeth grit over someone so important as his eyes trace the text in his visual field. It's sensitive. He doesn't want a stranger assuming they know what's going on between him and Abel.]

dont include me
im fine
i dont need to be buddies with some weirdo like you

[laozu]

[ honestly, if it gets a rise out of someone - he'll tease until he dies, g......omen. also he wouldn't know what "flirting with a dude" is until it's shoved in his face and pointed out as exactly that and NOT just vulgar street-kid teasing. ]

Those are words said by someone who needs exactly that, mister grouchy.

Don't be afraid of being my friend, I'll treat you nicely! [ oh my god ]

[blyat]

no thanks
not afraid of shit
just gonna take more than one conversation for me to trust you
if you cant deal with that, bark up some other tree

[Ha... dog reference.]

[laozu]

And after we had such an intimate conversation about dying and death and you left your blood all over my hands as I valiantly tried to save you... goodness.

I'll show you I'm a GREAT friend to have, just you watch! My shidi was a prickly one, and Hanguang-jun was a work in progress in our long... long... whatever you call it. Eventual-partnership.

[blyat]

it was just a dream

[What is a shidi? He decides not to ask.]

why the hell are you putting so much effort into this

[laozu]

Maybe - but what I said about dying was true.

[ that it hurts; that he's died before, so he can speak from experience ]


Um, obviously because friendship is worth the effort! Earning your friendship is just as worth it as earning mister Abel's, or mister Markus's, or maiden Alex's. That's what it is.

[blyat]

youre fucking weird

[laozu]

And? Mister Cain, if you wanted to put me off working for even a fledgling friendship with you, you need to be harsher than that - really get under my skin!

[blyat]

wait
are you seriously trying to tell me how to get you to fuck off

[Why does this just keep getting MORE ABSURD...]

[laozu]

You're surprised? It's just that I doubt you could do it - you don't know me well enough to effectively push me away. Maybe get to know me better, and you'll find a way to be free of my presence.

[ it sounds cyclical. lbh it is - it's just weirdo reverse psychology now. ]

Hit me up sometime, I know some amazing drinking games to really break the ice.

[blyat]

ok, so you wanna be friends with abel and me
and play drinking games
you sure thats it?
kinda sounds like something else
