I've got something fun~ [He is practically singing in his joy, but he is smart enough to stay in the shadows with his prize.]

Thank you! I'll be good and only use it for the best purposes, obviously.

[What a good boy. He deserves a treat - especially after that toy cat debacle.]

[ They matter to Xingchen. It can't be helping Xue Yang's temper! But he's made his choice, to trust Xue Yang. To give him that chance to have someone believe him. Believe in him. And he has seen efforts to rise to that chance.

So he trusts. ]

And to keep you safe. Don't forget about that while protecting me, alright?

[He can keep the Tally quiet for the time being, stuffing it up his sleeve or down his robe. If it's against him like that, he can use his core to control it. Continuously. That's what he had done in Yi City.]

I'll remember to eat and when we sleep, Shuanghua and Jiangzai can watch over it for me.

[ This gremlin he lives with is far stronger than their world ever gave him credit for. Poorly treated. Poorly trained. And yet Xue Yang has managed to get this far? Amazing. ]

I will guard your sleep as well.

[He was raised in extremes, parented by cruelty and necessity. Either he died or he became exceptionally clever. Xue Yang had chosen the latter because he doesn't believe in just giving up.]

My A-Chen will look after me?

[Voice]

[bright_moon]

[ To have the determination to never give up is exceptional in itself. Xingchen nods, though it might not be seen. ]

Mm. I will look after my A-Yang.

[Voice]

[cultivatingsin]

[He can sense the approval and it warms him to his toes.]

I want to see you. I miss your pretty face.

[ Maybe Xue Yang's playfulness is rubbing off on him, but Xingchen fumbles with the controls enough he thinks he switches the feed over to sharing his image. ]

Is that better?

You can find me if it's not enough.

[He gasps and giggles, touched that his Daozhang figured out the weird technology for him! He touches the sweet image with his fingertips, sighing.]

It's not enough. I want to hold you too.
