[Voice] Imagination 22

[ayao]

[He is tired and sad and more beside himself than he would like to admit.]

Xue Yang, answer me.

[That isn't how he wants to begin this broadcast, so he breathes in...and out.]

Has anyone seen Chifeng-Zun? I cannot find him and I know of no ill that has befallen him.

[Now, the part that really hurts.]

Huaisang, Zewu-Jun, I have failed you in not protecting him. I tried.

Comments

[ayao]

Yes, but you would be blind. [He is snapping and taking out his anger on Xue Yang. That shouldn't be terribly surprising, but it doesn't feel good.] What could you do for anyone blind?

[xue_yang]

You don't think I can handle myself if I am blind? Daozhang manages and is still strong.

[Xue Yang feels a little offended by that. He thinks he could handle himself just fine. Not that he wants to try it, but still...]

[ayao]

I don't want you to be blind. [He is trying to not shout or use foul language, but it's hard.] Chengmei, it bothers me.

[xue_yang]

Why? Because I'll somehow be a less useful body guard?

[Not that he has been a very good one anyway but he's pretty sure Meng Yao doesn't realy need one. He knows that the other man is just venting his frustrations and Xue Yang is a good target.]

[ayao]

Find me. [He spits out the words, agitated.] I'm in the garden carriage.

Wow...Did not get this notif. Sorry!

[xue_yang]

Interesting meet up choice. I'll be there in a bit.

[It won't really be too long. He was nearby anyway. He makes it into the garden carriage and looks around. He can honestly say he doesn't come here all that often...as in ever.]

It's okay <3

[ayao]

[He had sat with Lan Xichen in the garden and so...

It is where he wishes to be. Meng Yao looks small - smaller than usual - on one of the benches and when Xue Yang is close enough, he tugs on his sleeve.]

You need to stop valuing your life so little.

[xue_yang]

[He plops himself down on the bench.]

What difference does it make what I value it as when dying doesn't matter in this place?

[Not that he wants to die a million times but at least he knows for sure that he will come back at least twice more.]
