[For someone who already has a poor view of nobility, this next task...might not go well for him.]

I bet I can find this king in five minutes.

And when I do...

[He makes a fist at the camera, smirking.]

He probably deserves it. What an ass! Getting lost on a train and expecting us to pamper him...

Disgusting!

[With a breath, he calms himself.]

If anyone else is nobility around here, you better keep it to yourself.

Comments

[bright_moon]

[ Xingchen frowns with concern, hearing something (he thinks) that goes beyond the sharp words. ]

Not everyone has your senses, A-Yang. If you come across someone who is nobility, give them the chance to show who they are, rather than just what they are, alright?

[cultivatingsin]

[Aw Daozhang! Why must you be so sweet? So precious to him? Xue Yang crumbles without a fight.]

...would that make you happy?

[bright_moon]

[ Because he loves you, you silly man. The question, coming from Xue Yang, makes Xingchen smile gently, though there's still a trace of concern on his face. ]

It would. I believe you would be safer for it, too, which is important to me.

[cultivatingsin]

[All of his buttons are pushed and he doesn't care! As long as Xingchen is happy. Xue Yang would make a fool out of himself for that.]

Alright, we'll do it your way. But I swear, if he tries to step on you, I'll beat him to a pulp!

[bright_moon]

[ His smile warms, hearing that protectiveness he's come to trust in those sharp words. ]

Thank you, my A-Yang.

[cultivatingsin]

[His...his A-Yang? Oh. Xue Yang turns bright red and smiles helplessly.]

...did you get enough to eat today?

[bright_moon]

[ His own cheeks pink when he realizes what he'd called Xue Yang, but he doesn't try to take it back. Especially at the sweetness of that question. ]

I've been working in the dining carriage. I make sure to eat...but have you eaten enough today?

[cultivatingsin]

[He's working? He shouldn't have to work! Xue Yang is on his feet and moving through the carriages.]

I'm coming to see you. That's...what I need. I'm okay otherwise. I've had enough food.

[bright_moon]

[ Sweet Xue Yang! Xingchen shakes his head a little, but the smile grows stronger to negate any denial, and carefully picks out a few choice bites by feel before heading to where he remembers being shown a seat. ]

Then come to me. If anyone tries to give you trouble, tell them you're coming to see me.

[cultivatingsin]

Okay, I will. [Like hell will anyone stop him! He hurries into the dining cart and seeks out Xiao Xingchen's cute face. Upon finding him, he plops down in the seat beside him and kisses his cheek.]

Did I make you hungry?

[bright_moon]

[ He doesn't need to be told when Xue Yang finds him, the flurry of energy is familiar and makes him smile as the other man reaches him and...sits down beside him! With a kiss to his cheek! It makes him smile again and he reaches up to brush fingertips to Xue Yang's cheek in answer. ]

You were assigned another department, weren't you? I just want to make sure you're taken care of.

[cultivatingsin]

Mmhm, I'm a Neon. [Xue Yang snorts and kisses Xingchen's cheek again. Because.] I keep things running, but I also have time to take care of Daozhang. You can even come live with me if you want.

[bright_moon]

[ Another kiss! Shyly he turns his head to kiss Xue Yang's cheek back! ]

I would like that.

[cultivatingsin]

[He beams and rests their foreheads together, bringing Xingchen's hand to his chest.]

You're not working too hard, right?

[bright_moon]

[ Oddly enough, the gentle press of foreheads sooths him. Xingchen rubs over Xue Yang's chest. ]

I like cooking. And I hear things that might not always be noticed by others.

[cultivatingsin]

[He knows how to help his Daozhang! The comment makes him smile and he caresses Xingchen's cute ears.]

What have you heard? Anything juicy?

[bright_moon]

[ His ears go pink at the sweet touches! ]

Nothing all that important so far. I'll tell you if I do hear anything though.

[cultivatingsin]

[That just encourages more touches~ Xue Yang then rests a hand on Xingchen's chest, happy to stay nice and close.]

If anyone is annoying with their food orders - like really picky? - let me know.

[bright_moon]

[ Absolutely! Xingchen feels how he relaxes under that hand and marvels. ]

There are others who can make the more intricate meals, A-Yang. What I make is enough for what it is.

[cultivatingsin]

[The way he is accepted...wanted... It's captivating and he is hungry for more.]

Daozhang, don't you imagine a king would be picky about what he eats?

[This could help them find him~]

[bright_moon]

[ When it comes to Xue Yang, he just can't seem to help himself! ]

Mm. You're right. I'll let you know if I hear of any extra picky requests.

[cultivatingsin]

Thank you, Daozhang. [Xue Yang chirps and kisses the edge of Xingchen's lips.] I'll tell you if I hear anything weird. We can work together.

[bright_moon]

[ His cheeks pink again but he nuzzles their lips together in answer to that sweet little kiss. ]

We do work well together.

[cultivatingsin]

We do! [He beams and wiggles excitedly. His cheeks burn and he nestles against Xingchen.] I don't like when this place splits us up.

Uh...

( don't mind a blonde teenager staring at the screen with the most confused expression ever. she wasn't sure if anyone here was of nobility, but for all she knew it was entirely possible.

once she determined how she was going to respond to this, she finally spoke up with a bit of sassy tone. )

I take it you hate the King and Queen of England too huh? Any particular reason why?
