[He cannot get up to his elbows in zombie guts if he has gloves in his way!
Anyway, he just looks up at Chuuya with his big ol' demon eyes, grinning as punkasses do. It's been a while since anyone's called him any sort of cute nickname; maybe it'll take a bit more to adjust than he first thought, but he doesn't particularly mind it.]
Haha, so I've heard, so I've heard! [AND YET, HE'S STILL THIS WAY.] So? What about me? I want something cute to call you, too - do you have any sort of nickname?
[they're all from dazai and he's not having anyone call him 'slug' thank you very much!!
and because he's currently a furry his ears even flatten at the thought, his tail fur bristling... there's so much hate in this one shitty little body.]
[Hm yes, he's had plenty of bad nicknames, too. He reaches out to pet down the fur of Chuuya's tail and then sits up a little so he can lean forward and rub his angry little ears between his thumbs and forefingers. There, there, you small angry man.]
I'll give you a new one, then! How abouuut- [Hm, hm, hm... He hums, considering a few different combinations and a few absolutely horrific ones, but decides to be a good soul for once and leave the teasing aside.]
[he pauses to consider it, still idly petting wei wuxian's hair as he allows his ears to be played with... it feels nice, actually, and he's leaning into the touch.]
[He can't hold back his bully gene for more than 5 goddamn seconds at a time. But at least he makes up for it (????) by continuing to pet and rub at his cute lil ears, which are currently the best part of his whole cursed self.]
Anyway, if you're fine with it, I'm keeping it. Otherwise, it's A-Ya!
[but he doesn't pull away, despite wrinkling his nose. did you know foxes purr, apparently? there's a pleased little noise that might be a purr, and that gets him to lean back, looking startled.
[AS IF HE CAN ESCAPE THAT EASILY. He'll come back around to A-Ya in a second, but first, he just leans forward to recapture the space between them. No running!!]
What was that?! What was that! How cute, how cute—!! Let me hear it again, come on, be kind to me!
[HE'S A BIG OL' IDIOT. Even if it's angry pets, he's still pleased with them!! He makes a little, delighted humming noise, canting his head to the side.
Though, at the question, a little of the teasing edge slips from his smile, replaced with a sort of warm nostalgia.]
A-Xian! My shijie was the only one who ever used that, though, haha.
Mm, my sister! [A term used for those from the same school; unrelated by blood, but related in any way that matters. His smile truly warms at the mention of her. He loves his shijie...]
Haha, my little brother was too prickly to call anyone but her anything even remotely sweet, even when we were kids.
[even he sounds a little fond? but that's probably because, well. he kind of gets it.]
I think Anesan might have scared off anyone who called her something sweet without permission-- hell, I got scolded for calling her that in the first place. Said she wasn't old enough for it.
Your sister? [Since he doesn't recognize the term, but considering the topic and the echoing fondness on Chuuya's face, he's assuming that's the case.] Haha, she sounds like quite the person!
Not by blood, but-- close enough. I don't have any family outside the Mafia anyway, that I know of.
[like, maybe, but when you have none memory before a certain point then who knows!]
She's who mentored me after I joined and got assigned to her direct command. Very few people in the organization are willing to talk to the Boss the way she does... you know I once heard her threaten to sew his mouth shut? [a brief laugh, shaking his head.] Eh, but she's one of the few people I'd allow to get away with saying things like that to him, too. We work with him more often than the other executives do.
[RIP in rest having none memory. Sometimes you just get adopted by the mafia and/or yoinked off the streets by some dude who used to be friends with your dead dad? It happens.]
She really sounds like someone to know, though. Haha, I bet she's one of the only people who can keep you in line! [UNRULY CHUUYA... with one single leash.] And your boss? What's he like?
Oi, you say that like I'm even half as much trouble as you, XianXian.
[HE GETS AN EAR TWEAK FOR THAT...]
But the boss... he's a great leader. That's why I agreed to work for him in the first place-- he understands what has to be done to run the organization and keep everything in line, and he's the most logical and efficient person I've ever met.
Anything that needs to happen-- he'll make it happen, no matter what it is. Anything for the sake of the Mafia and Yokohama. If he asked me to lay down my life for the good of either of them, I'd do it.
[He's not deadset serious, but he will absolutely go terrorize literally everyone if the ability is left in his hands...]
Who's to say! If there's a way to get us all here, surely there's a way to open paths between other worlds and times. Some of us already come from places where that sort of thing is possible, you know? And I'm somewhat of a tinkerer, myself - it's in my nature to figure things like this out!
[RIP in rest everyone if he does, he's heading to Costco immediately in every AU.]

Anyway, he seems content enough to let his hands rest in the fur, delighting in the soft fluff and warmth. Yes good, he approves.]
Hm? I don't know! They just are. No point in warming them up if they'll just be cold again later, hm?
no subject
[he huffs out a sigh, shaking his head.]
You really are the fucking worst, XianXian.
[it doesn't sound like he means it.]

immediately moving on thanks!!]
Ah-- where did A-Ya come from?
no subject
What was that?! What was that! How cute, how cute—!! Let me hear it again, come on, be kind to me!
[COME BACK, LIL FOX EARS.]
no subject
[REVENGE PETTING THE BUN EARS in hopes wwx will also embarrass himself! god he hates this he's not cute!]
Quit petting me and explain!
no subject
I can do both at the same time!
[He's absolutely doing both at the same time, still petting those ears even as his own swivel and twitch under Chuuya's hands.]
Another way of nicknaming! Taking part of the name or the full given name if it's short enough, adding "A" to the front.
no subject
Yeah? What'd yours be, in that case?

Well, if it was like that, I won't use it.

She'll accept it now, though.

[WHAPPING AT HIS HANDS, FREE HIS EARS and grumbles something like you are though...
Wow, though. Chuuya sure is a dedicated little gremlin... His smile shifts a little, though what it shifts to is a little hard to pinpoint.]
Mm, well! If he's someone that deserving of your respect and dedication, I'm sure he's an impressive man.
no subject
[like he said, chuuya would literally die for him? that's fine and normal!
he does relent on the ears, at least, wwx is spared.]
no subject
Think I might get the chance to meet him someday?
[Bad.]
no subject
[he's just discussing this casually because he doesn't think wwx is entirely serious? after all-]
Or if there'd even be a way to get you back home if I could.
