[ Funnily enough, Xie Lian's voice pops into Hua Cheng's head this way today. Currently comforting Kaveh, Xie Lian has no hands free to text and no privacy to call. ]
San Lang, Alhaitham has gone home. Kaveh is distraught, so I am spending the night with him in the treehouse, he will hopefully calm down and fall asleep soon, but he is heartbroken and I cannot leave him in such a state.
[ it is not a message that invites conversation, but hua cheng also can't just agree and leave it at that—he had promised xie lian that the mortals he cares for are under hua cheng's care too, and he intends to fulfill that promise as best he can. ]
I understand. If the two of you need anything, only say the word and I'll bring it to you.
[ ah, but— ]
At a distance, of course.
[ hua cheng can imagine that the sight of xie lian's husband would probably not be pleasant for kaveh right now... ]
As am I. He had just started learning our language, I was teaching him and he even had a Xianle accent because of the way he was copying me so precisely. I'm going to miss him, he was a good man ... as well as Zhongli, another friend of mine who also went home.
[ S i g h. ]
San Lang, you'll be the only person I have left to talk to before long. Try not to get tired of me.
If you went home, I... don't know what I'd do. I would be a wreck of myself.
[ he can't blame kaveh for needing to be comforted and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the resort. although the demands of this place will resume eventually, the quiet must be good for him, even if the height is a little much. ]
I love you more than there are stars in the sky. Take care of yourself as well, I'll be here when you're ready to return.
I will not leave without you, they could not make me.
[ Ah, his romantic love. His heat is sore for Javeh but it burns warmly to hear Hua Cheng say such things. Unfortunately, Xie Lian is not so well-versed in flowery language and can only sound insistent. ]
My lips will touch nothing else until they've touched yours.
[ he had eight centuries to figure out how to do romantic purple prose out loud when it comes to his feelings for xie lian. it doesn't bother him that xie lian is less flowery, it just makes him feel warm all over to hear xie lian say i love you. ]

Please don't wait up for me.

[ without an instant of hesitation. there are a few things that hua cheng knows beyond the shadow of a doubt, and that's one of them. ]
When Kaveh feels a little better, come back to me and let me hold you for a turn. All right?
no subject
Let me hold you too. If you were sent home, I wouldn't be much better than Kaveh.
