[Oh no... But also, this is still so weird?? He lifts his hands so he can reach up and pet Chuuya's poor flattened ears. Unfortunately, he is not a very comforting person when it comes to this topic.]
No real point in not being casual, though! If I died, I died - if I die, I die. Would have stayed dead the first time anyway, if it weren't for this and that. Some people just like causing trouble for those of us who are resting!
[Look when you come from a point when even your own little brother who you love dearly would absolutely not hesitate to say "if you die, you die" about you, YES! YES IT IS.
He is absolutely trying to just lift Chuuya's ears, though.]
Come now, an expression like that hardly suits. Won't you give me a smile?
[Because pirouetting around the topic entirely is much better than saying "I didn't want to come back in the first place, no one wanted me alive and moreover, it'd be better for me to die than anyone that would actually cause people to grieve."]
[wei wuxian can pirouette all he wants, but chuuya's not a person who has much patience for it. he's just getting bluntness in return-- apparently, he's not that willing to let it go.]
[Oh no... The last thing he wants to do is make people worry or feel badly, especially if he's the reason. So he stays seated instead of getting up as he'd initially planned, and leans over to gently hold Chuuya's face with both hands.]
You know, for as prickly as you act, you really do have quite a big heart.
[chuuya HUFFS before he just. reaches out and moves, getting up for a moment so he can push wei wuxian back down against the loveseat, settling back in and straddling him carefully.]
I really ought to just tie you down so you can't go off and make it worse somehow.
How is it possible for one group to be so nice and so mean at the same time? I've been called more names today than I have in weeks!
[Only weeks though... He'll be surprising well-behaved for once in his goddamn life in any case, letting Chuuya look things over. Zero did her best to bandage him up (sans the part where she did them up a little tighter than strictly necessary because he was running his mouth like a dumbass) and the bandages are still on him. He left them there even after the healing effect kicked in because 1) he fully needs the extra support with all the unnecessary moving around he does and he knows it and also 2) it gives him an extra place to store stuff...]
Haha, fine, fine. If you're that worried, we can wait! I should probably be getting back to work, anyway.
[He says, even as he gently spiderwalks his fingers up Chuuya's arms a bit.]
[then don't mind him not asking permission to undo them because he absolutely has, he just wants to be sure they worked... and he's probably re-wrapping them slightly less tightly than she did, because he's already given wwx an earful about all this.]
You're not getting back to anything if it involves too much moving around-- and you know how long you're going to be waiting on that to heal up properly, right?
[He apparently does not mind that either, and is probably also grateful that they're a little less tight now even though he doesn't say as much.]
Right, right! I already promised Dick I'd rest for at least half a day. [Dick had only specified a few hours, that's how little faith the people of this boat HAVE IN HIM...
Though his fingers pause for a second, because there actually are a few things he. Still needs to do. Starting with:]
—Could you do anything for Higekiri? Is that something within your abilities? I'd be willing to take on another task, if so - though I think Beck may be asking the same of Carlos right about now.
You could worry about yourself a little more too, you know-!
[goddamnit wwx! his expression shifts after a moment, though, a little more troubled; of course he's worried too.]
If you think she's already asking, then leave it to her-- I don't know for sure what we could do, but it won't do you guys any good to ask the same thing of both of us.
I'm going to do what I can for him, though, just not in that capacity. I promised I'd take care of him.
What I'm dealing with is certainly much simpler than him.
[HE WILL NEVER WASTE HIS OWN TIME WORRYING ABOUT HIMSELF foole... But he hums out a little lilting note, neutral-sounding, not giving the thought or feeling behind it away.]
Likewise! I'd just like to see him improve as soon as possible, as I'm sure we all would, hah.
[They were able to stall the progress of whatever the hell is going on, but boy he ain't sure if they can trust it to last! Which is why he absolutely offered to kill Higekiri himself in a worst case scenario so no one else would have to take on the guilt and blame, haha, fun.]
Haha, well - if things really do get too bad, he has options, at least.
[IT'S FINE, this is a boat full of people who are doing GREAT.]
I'd imagine it's pretty frustrating, though... Knowing something and being unable to act on it is worse than stumbling blindly through the dark in a lot of ways.

[His peaceful 13 year nap...]
no subject
[he leans a little into the touch, as he always does, but it is not super helping... the ears stay kind of flat.]
You're here now, is it that hard to get that some people don't like hearing 'if I die, I die' out of you?

no subject
He just sighs and pushes himself upright again, out of Chuuya's lap, though he gives his ears one last little rub before he goes.]
Nothing to talk about, though! It is what it is, things are as they are, you know how it goes.
no subject
[no stupid nickname this time, either; as he pushes himself out of chuuya's lap, chuuya's brow furrows.]
-ugh, fuck. What I'm saying here is that it doesn't have to be how it goes.
no subject
You know, for as prickly as you act, you really do have quite a big heart.
no subject
[but with his face held in his hands, the effect of making an angry face is kind of diminished? squishy cheeks...
but he definitely is making a face anyway, though chuuya's not pushing him off.]
...I just don't want to see anything happen to you because you were being stupid, that's all.
no subject
It's not as though I particularly want to rejoin the dearly departed, even if I was woken up so rudely. I suppose that's just karma, haha!
[Since he. Is a necromancer and woke so many other people up...]
Anyway, you don't have to worry.
no subject
and then (carefully) pokes him in the damn stomach.]
I don't have to worry, huh.
no subject
--My insides weren't even hanging out this time!
[Yes, see, nothing at all to worry about.]
no subject
[ANOTHER VERY GENTLE POKE.... before he huffs, reaching up to pinch one of wei wuxian's cheeks in turn.]
Listen, just promise me you'll try to take better care of yourself. All right?
no subject
[It's practically reflexive by now, god, he's the worst. Either way, even with his cheek being pinched, he's just smiling soon enough...]
--Mm, alright. Do you feel a little better now?
[Wei Wuxian: making promises only to break them later since 200AD.]
no subject
[keep your promises you lil shit,
he hums at the question though, almost pressing it before he just sighs.]
I'd feel better if you hadn't gone and gotten yourself hurt right after I promised to wreck you for a night.
no subject
Anyway, he's both A) grateful not to have the topic pressed and B) incredibly cursed, so he just winds his fingers into Chuuya's hair and hums.]
Well, we still have plenty of time today, don't we?
[i repeat for the 100th time: why isn't he dead]
no subject
[chuuya HUFFS before he just. reaches out and moves, getting up for a moment so he can push wei wuxian back down against the loveseat, settling back in and straddling him carefully.]
I really ought to just tie you down so you can't go off and make it worse somehow.
no subject
But he just lets himself be pushed back and seems content enough to have the contact, reaching up to rest his hands against Chuuya's forearms.]
Hmmm, is that an offer? I don't mind if you tie me down, as long as you stay with me after.
[Just let him tear his wound open again and die.]
no subject
[don't mind him, he's busy stripping wei wuxian, though not like, sexily. he just wants to get a look at that wound, eyeing it critically.]
You do realize this still isn't fixed, or anything-- I'd rather not risk opening it back up.
no subject

[he huffs out a sigh, shaking his head.]
Sometimes this position's a real pain, you know? I can't do much about it on my own-- I can't even step in for him if it gets too bad.
