[laughitoff]

Huh?

[rootsforyou]

You have been receiving milkshakes in front of your door, have you not? Who is making them for you?

[laughitoff]

[with complete honesty]

I have no idea.

[rootsforyou]

It is Hanguang-Jun.

[laughitoff]

[rootsforyou]

[laughitoff]

It can't be Hanguang-Jun, he doesn't like me.

[rootsforyou]

[




pinches his cheek

not like, hard enough to hurt, but enough to get his attention]

Do you think your shijie is lying to you? I know it for a fact. Do I need to present you with evidence for you to believe my words?

[laughitoff]

[yip???!?!]

Why do you have evidence?!

[rootsforyou]

Why shouldn't I have it? It was easy to find.

[laughitoff]

Fine! I want to see it!

[rootsforyou]

[nudges him gently, so they can stand. you cannot be a bundle on her lap anymore]

Then let's go and get it.

[laughitoff]

Go where...?

[he stands, reluctantly; his ears and tail are droopy]

[rootsforyou]

If you don't know from what I've said, isn't it better for you to see for yourself?

[they are heading to the motel though, which is a fairly neutral place]

[laughitoff]

I suppose...

[he's! following obediently! this morning is very odd]

[rootsforyou]

[he is a good boy

he will also need to open Phoenix's door for her to enter, once they get there.]

[laughitoff]

Um...

[yeah he'll open it]

[rootsforyou]

Thank you.

[glides on in and goes straight for: Lan Wangji's bedroom door, and tries the knob without preamble]

[strikingchords]

[IT OPENS! are they both going in?]

[laughitoff]

What...

[he stares at her just going in nonplussed, but he's committed and has to follow now, yes]

[strikingchords]

[inside, per the setting descriptions, they find a simple bedroom with one bed, one dresser, one closet... there's also a lobby chair that's been placed by the dresser to make it sort of like a desk, and of course the ward arrays on the walls and door.

however, notably, the closet has undergone some changes, such as:
- the door is gone.
- the door is gone because it has been hacked into four parts and carefully used to raise a crude bunny hutch, made of another dresser and pieces of sheets, off the ground. what remains makes a ramp up from the floor to reach the hutch.
- the rest of the space is cordoned off with a wire mesh that someone apparently strung over the door area by hand using surgical steel sutures from the clinic, chicken wire style.
- the overall effect is something like this, albeit much jankier, and takes up the entire closet space.
- there is a bunny eating some grass and peering out at them.

enjoy!]

[sorry she does actually have to pause to take in the rabbit, because that's new]

A rabbit? When did he get that?

[laughitoff]

[HE CAN'T ANSWER HER BECAUSE HE'S STARING AT THE SETUP LIKE IT'S HOLDING THEM BOTH UP FOR MONEY WITH A GUN

JUST ABSOLUTELY FROZEN]

[rootsforyou]

[is this.........perhaps...........the fabled reconciliation gift...............

she only allows that to distract her for a moment more before she goes back to the drawer where all of the trash objects are, to collect the spicy booze milkshake recipe]

[laughitoff]

[FUCK, he screams internally

(but polite, because Shijie is there)]
