my favorite trope is when someone believes they’re hard to love and someone who loves them like it’s breathing.

Jing Yuan could've suggested anything really, and Dan Heng would have been amenable to it purely because it was time spent with the General. But it was indeed quite packed along the street, and a group of children passing by had Dan Heng pressing in closer against Jing Yuan's side for a moment while they walked by.

"Would going back and doing dinner before any performances or shows be a better idea? We'll have more time to sit down and eat if I help you cook." There was no chance Dan Heng would sit by and let Jing Yuan do all the work, regardless of being his guest for the trip or not.

"Then trust me to warn you before you do something wrong." He was teasing, of course, while laws could change alot over the centuries he would hardly consider it anything so drastic that the average tourist wouldn't be expected to know better.

They often didn't but that was a problem for the Cloud Knights on duty. Not him. Tonight it was just the two of them and unless something major happened he had no need to waste an evening dealing with things that can be left to other people or be handled tomorrow.

"Well, during the day usually I would be cleaning the house." And likely enlisting Yanqing to help. "But as far as things to do that don't involve cleaning one's home, or office, I would suggest sitting down for a meal but..."

He gestured at the packed restaurants and stalls with lines he personally didn't feel like waiting in. "But there are often performances, and later there should be fireworks. Just as a start. Maybe later in the evening visit my home and I could cook us dinner and break out a bottle of wine."

"Come short of some sort of calamity from Snezhnaya, I doubt Natlan's climate would allow for anything in the realm of cold around here." Which was probably for the best, such a drastic change in weather probably would get a lot of them sick from being so used to the constant heat.

His own lips turned up slightly at the mental image of what Mualani said, and it was extremely plausible. "The threat of him not getting food when he wants if he was annoying was enough. So he and Mualani would at least have a little bit of quiet time before the pixel dragon made his presence known for the day. "If you had plans for dinner I'm fine with whatever you were going to make, you know I'm not picky with what I eat."

"Alright, alright. You're lucky it's not that icy cold rain, the kind I heard that can get you sick." The rain in Natlan was always so warm, she remembers being a kid and running out to play in the rain with the other kids of the Springs, especially when the beaches were closed for safety. The sweet smile at the warmth that always lingers after such sweet affections.

Even tilting her head so he didn't have to bend to far to reach her cheek. Watching as he goes to her room, already knowing the layout of her house, just like she knew his. Looking around her kitchen, humming the tune of the song she had been listening to. Turning to spot Kinich coming in, amusement in her face at Ajaw listening.

"Oh, you managed to get him to listen. I expected him to come flying out and yelling about how you can't tell him what to do." But she does lean forward to return the kiss to the cheek with a big, goofy 'muah' and a giggle.

"I can't believe someone would do this to you…"

"I can, just because the other kids actually go to school doesn't mean they get smarter." He was used to insults and comments from other kids thinking he was weird for living alone in the mountains, but Kinich was long past the point of caring what kids their age thought.

It wasn't a topic she had thus far heard much about, knowing full well it was a very touchy subject for Mydeimos, but also one he couldn't give firsthand accounts of because it was before he was born. But now that she was finding her life paralleling Gorgo's in some ways, she wanted to hear more about where Mydei came from from someone who could recount things in a much more levelheaded way. How Eurypon used to be before things went so horribly wrong, and how his marriage was before then as well.

But something else she said piqued Navia's curiosity, and eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion.

"You said you have few fears I have to worry about Mydei being like his father, are there some fears that you have?"

Taking care of them...

"Hey, it's okay. Show me?"

"What did they do to you?"

"Don't cry - I've got you."

"That's okay - get it all out."

"Deep breath, I have you."

"Sh, sh, I'm going to patch you up."

"I've got a bandage for you."

"This is going to sting, but we have to clean this."

"Oh - okay - we're hugging about this, okay."

"It'll all feel better in the morning."

"I can't believe someone would do this to you..."

"I'm going to protect you."

"Get some rest. I'm not going anywhere."

"You're safe now."

"I'm just going to wipe your face."

"When's the last time you cried like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, I promise."

"One day, you'll be okay. For now? It's okay to hurt."

"You want a hug?"

"I've got a blanket for you."

"Nice and cosy..."

"It's okay if you fall asleep."

"Just get some rest. You need it."

"Hey, I made you food."

"I know it's easy to forget to eat when you feel like this."

"You don't need to feel guilty."

"It wasn't your fault."

"Do you want a hot chocolate?"

"There's nothing better than a toasted marshmallow."

"Just hold onto me. There we go."
