I wish to fight.

{Because, damn it all, he knows battle. Relationships? Apparently he is a failure in that arena.}

Do not reply if you are weak.

Action

[prince_of_the_moon]

{His eyes widen at the question and he finally lifts a hand, caressing Zishu's face carefully. This man could have reacted the same, it's true. In fact, he should have. Yet here he is, tending to his wounds and trying to understand why his heart feels...

Shattered. Perhaps that's a fitting state for it since it used to be a block of ice.}

You have every right to be angry with me. {Conceited? Hardly. Sesshomaru values Kexing and Zishu - they were the first to show him how wonderful it could be to let down his guard.}

I met General Ouyang. He was not happy I had mated with Runyu. I made the mistake of thinking otherwise.

Action

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu immediately leans into that gentle hand, showing he's not afraid of the demon's touch. But it's something of a relief to know it's not about him and his soulmate, so he nuzzles that hand too. Offering affection.

And then any confusion clears as jealousy is made known. He shakes his head a little, resting a hand gently over Sesshomaru's heart. ]

I'm not. Neither is Kexing.

[ Not to mention he and Kexing have both had sex with that particular dragon. More than once. ]

Aah. Some get jealous. It can be difficult to judge.

Action

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He is careful with his talons, tracing over Zishu's cheekbone. The hand over his heart reminds him of how he and Zishu laid together and he realizes it's too late. He can't turn his back on those who have welcomed him.}

Wen Kexing would have spoken plainly.

{That he trusts.}

I've been a fool thinking I caused no harm.

Action

[fated_dance]

[ He trusts that care. His eyes lid in contentment and trust. Maybe he'd had to relearn trusting others again, but he's managed it. Fingers rub gently over the strong heart under them, and he smiles. ]

Yes. We both would have.

[ The smile sobers and he can't help the concerned look he gives the demon. ]

Have you decided what you will do about it?

Action

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Sesshomaru pulls on one of Zishu's arms so they can sit side by side. Or, if the man likes, his lap is vacant.}

I believe that.

{Zishu has been nothing but direct. The soulmates are so like one another that he almost feels like he is with both when he is with one.}

I must speak with Runyu. He can decide. I will never push away someone who desires my company.

Action

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu does, in fact, like. And settles in that vacant lap as he's finished fussing over the physical wounds. Tails curl around Sesshomaru and he nuzzles in as he makes himself comfortable. ]

That sounds like a good plan.

Action

[prince_of_the_moon]

{He leans forward and rests his head on Zishu's shoulder. Those scars are remembered, however, so he doesn't rest his full weight on his...friend. Sesshomaru has never been called that before.}

Foxes, a Dragon and a Heron... I have left my own kind far behind.

Action

[fated_dance]

[ Scars that have healed. But the simple fact Sesshomaru cares enough to remember them is a good sign. So he curls an arm around him and gently plays with his hair. ]

A demon, a dragon god, and a rabbit. I have as well, aside from my Lao Wen. It is not what someone is that matters so much as their heart.

Action

[prince_of_the_moon]

{Those kitsune tails call to him and Sesshomaru strokes them. He is an admirer of fur, obviously, and Zishu's is of a fine quality.}

The Foxes taught me how humans connect. The Dragon healed me and welcomed me. The Heron does her best to comfort me and I want to protect her.
