[A very different sight greets the network this time (as compared to his first recording). Xiao Xingchen gazes back at anyone watching with eyes. Said eyes are gentle and wise - if a tad shy.]

Greetings. [He bows respectfully, properly, smiling softly.] I was wondering if there are any gardens or...parks?...nearby? I miss the trees and the flowers.

[The next subject is less wholesome and he bites his lip, pausing, hesitating.]

I have heard certain things said about the dead. I beg of you to leave them in peace. Any spells that could awaken them should not be done by our hands. There will be a price to pay for those responsible and I would rather you be innocent.

[The expelled breath makes his smile widen. His Zichen is so brave! Xingchen kisses the other man's brow and happily snuggles against him as they walk.]

My life is yours. It always has been.

[Cheeks pink, he blinks and peers at Zichen curiously. Painting... The thought pleases him and yet...]

I'm not talented enough to capture their beauty. But I could try?

[ Anything for his soulmate. The snuggling melts his heart! He shakes his head, holding Xingchen closer. ]

Our lives belong to each other. Just as our souls do.

[ That flush makes him smile shyly. ]

I would like to see anything you paint.

[ And put it on their wall. ]

[gentledawn]

[Xingchen grins giddily and rubs his cheek against Zichen's shoulder, making the most of the embrace.]

My soul needs to be with yours.

[If he painted them... If he tried... What colors would he use?]

I'll make something for you.
