Forgive me for being...selfish...

And I warn you, the subject matter of my question might be sensitive...

[But why not make this inquiry here rather than in his world where it would surely bring negative repercussions.]

What are your thoughts on two men being in a relationship? [He doesn't dare say married, but he is drawn to the idea.] Do you perceive it as...wrong? Should the men instead continue their respective lines with wives?

[Heirs are important. Yet can they not be had in other ways? Of course said ways are illegal and immoral in the land he knows.]

Wait wait wait-- don't tell me, you haven't confessed to him yet that you want to sleep with him?

[Classy. He's nearly doubling over laughing at this, even more so at the correction of calling Jin Zixuan by name.]

Weren't you also blindfolded the whole time, and got kissed by someone fiercely? He's a peacock, just say it!

[weifinder]

What? What are you talking about!?

( He doesn't even sound offended, he sounds outright confused. )

For one, I was only blindfolded when... making a point about the war captives the Jins were using as living target shields, and of course he's a peacock, but he's shijie's peacock and he made her happy so he's also our peacock.

( Who, as far as he knows, they both got killed. )

What kissing, what confessing, who wants to sleep with who?! Are you supposed to confess these things?! We've shared beds while traveling, that's not worth announcing!

[obliviouspatriarch]

[The laughing ends abruptly the moment he hears about the Jins using war captives as live target shields, stomach dropping because the only people he can even consider for that were the Wens. Perhaps the very same Wens he went out of his way to save.]

War captives as... Living targets? Were they Wen Qing's people?

[He sure as hell hopes he's wrong about that as a snort at Jin Zixuan being their peacock, as if they had joint custody of him.]

She could have done better!
Are you telling me you aren't in love with Lan Zhan?! What happened where you're from... Wait don't tell me, you're in love with Mianmian then!

[weifinder]

Not those ones. Her branch was taken elsewhere.

( It isn't a pleasant memory, and thus he skimps the details, leaving it at that. The other accusation, or two accusations, has him choke and then capable of just: )

You! You! Haven't you met her daughter? And her husband?!

( Not saying anything about Lan Zhan it is DISTRACTION TIME be distracted by INFORMATION, OTHER SELF! )

[obliviouspatriarch]

[The urge to press the other is high, but can tell that the sudden switch and shock is a deflection. That's another version of himself after all, deflection is what any version of him does best, no? There was always another, less public, time to fish for that information.

So he just starts cackling like a lunatic. Fitting for the body he's inhabiting.]

Yes yes! By what you say, she has little Mianmian then?

[He'll just omit how he had met the woman and her child again, having far too little regrets in that regard.]

[weifinder]

( Takes himself to know himself on the count of How He Feels, and how he dodgerolls talking about how he feels. It's not like he's worth it, so.

He snorts, staying on the Mianmian train. )

Little Mianmian with all the congratulatory money Lan Zhan could supply. Nice farmer husband, too, she's all the muscle and he's all the, ah, tilling? ... Their front yard was well kept!
