yves will just match him then! he'll take the other pillow for himself, but he'll probably leave it after this conversation so that whoever gets to see jy is a little comfier. or if jiaoqiu sadly spends the night here, which he wouldn't be surprised by
pouring two glasses of wine... ]
I spent half the day hugging you? Pretty sure you could've crushed my spine at any moment if you had a mind to.
[ so no he's not scared... offers the glass through the bars for jy ]
Let me know if you want me to get anything else for you. I wanted to try grabbing Mimi from your room...
I probably would've struggled... Asked Marcoh for help...
[ thoughtfully, but he's still not scared! god i wish he was! instead he faces jing yuan with an expression that's only concerned for the man in front of him ]
... can I ask you why, Jing Yuan? Why Charlie? Why do this at all? You wanted to go home to Yanqing...
[ a chance at redemption, at life again, so that he might be able to be with his retainer. some of his relationships here, and whatever is happening with him and jiaoqiu. ]
So I thought... maybe you had something else in mind. Something that made all of this worth it.

he brings along two pillows under one arm, and then the other has a little basket with a bottle of wine and two glasses ]
Hi Jing Yuan—whoa, I feel like the bars are a bit much...
[ goes to sit down in front of them and offer a pillow through the bars ]
Is wine okay?
no subject
he's lounging peacefully and by lounging i mean he's just sitting cross-legged on the floor. chin propped on hand, typical jy pose.
he smiles when he sees yves. there isn't much behind it. ]
You're not afraid I might attack you?
[ he accepts the pillow. ]
How delightful. Thank you.

And if I had the mind to?
[ he looks at him as if he's briefly considering this possibility. but it's gone in a blink, expression neutral again. he accepts the glass. ]
Ah... Mimi. Do whatever you wish. I have no need of anything from my room.

no subject
[ he takes a sip of the wine. ]
She was easy to lure around. So very trusting. But if not Charlie, I suppose anyone else would do.
[ he smiles at the mention of yanqing, but doesn't look particularly moved. ] Ah, none of that really matters.
no subject
but this is where yves actually looks a little surprised ]
It... doesn't? You don't want to return to life?
no subject
I have lived a very long time.
[ that's not a no but not a yes... sowwy... ]
no subject
[ befuddlement increases ]
no subject
...Perhaps I've felt this way all this time.
no subject
[ to say.... perhaps... ]
Do you... have a goal from here, Jing Yuan?
no subject
A goal? Do I need one?
