[A white rabbit stares at the camera.

And stares.

Then a back leg thumps impatiently against the floor. A flash of magic follows and then Xingchen is sitting where the rabbit had been, his black hair scattered with white strands. He quickly dresses himself and clears his throat.]

Forgive me. I meant to say: if you are near the Temple and find yourself in need of rest or refreshment, you are welcome. All are welcome as long as you come in peace and do not mind cats.

Or... [Another cough.] Rabbits.

[He's not sure what he saw at first but he recognized the username at least so...]

The temple has rabbits now too?

[Unless his friend means himself???]

[He covers his mouth when he sees him before lowering his hand to smile at him.]

Shall I come to see you to fix your hair, my friend?

[gentledawn]

I'm the only one I know about, but sometimes a friend brings his rabbits by for a visit.

[Lan Wangji's two...ah...children.]

[Don't laugh! ...okay laugh. Rabbits aren't equipped to talk. Only thump.]

It is messy, forgive me, A-Yu.

[dragonrising]

There is nothing to forgive. You are wonderful no matter how you look.

[gentledawn]

What if I was a toad? Would you like me still?

[pinkblinded]

Oh! You're the rabbit. I think I was having trouble figuring out what was happening. I'm sorry.

[He laughs gently.]

[dragonrising]

Yes. Because you'd still be you.

[gentledawn]

I get confused too. You needn't apologize, my friend. [He grins at the sound.] Are you alright?

[pinkblinded]

Yes, I'm alright. Henry and I have a new home now. And I have a plant nursery out of my personal garden.

[gentledawn]

I could fit in your pocket and keep you company in the water.

Do toads swim? Maybe that's more frogs?

[gentledawn]

Oh that sounds wonderful! Make sure to grow plenty of gauras.

[dragonrising]

I cannot say I have great knowledge either way honestly.

[pinkblinded]

[He blushes and looks down.]

I have some planted next to Henry's favorite flowers actually.

[gentledawn]

I'll have to find a pair and see for myself! [Yes, this is very important research.] How is my favorite dragon?

[gentledawn]

Good. This world needs more of them. [Happy pink flowers are good for everyone.]

[dragonrising]

Well. Nothing much exciting to say but I do like it that way. How is my favorite rabbit?

[pinkblinded]

[He bites his lip and looks up.]

Henry and I are dating now as well. Just by the way.

[gentledawn]

I prefer the peace and quiet, yes. [Much better than what they experienced before.] I am teaching full-time with Zichen at the Temple. I have a young class that is absolutely adorable.

[gentledawn]

Are you? Does he make you happy? [That's all that matters.]

[dragonrising]

I'm glad. You have a good heart for teaching. Your students will learn well from you.

[pinkblinded]

[He nods as he smiles more, cheeks getting pinker.]

Very happy, Xingchen. He's wonderful. He wears a flower in his lapel so I'll always know it's him. Even when we're home alone and he doesn't have to.

[gentledawn]

It was our dream. Now we can realize it.

[dragonrising]

This is what you both deserve and I'm happy for you.

[gentledawn]

[Don't make him hurry out to give you a hug, Gaura.]

Then he has a fine heart. [Showing empathy isn't always easy or comfortable, but to choose to do it anyway...] I wish you both happiness and I hope you have a lot of time together. Years.
