Alright. My dumb Chromebook doesn’t let me save the animation from Krita

The version I posted here is just a screen recording

Game: it'd be better if u have another pilot (dunno how it's called in english)

Me: huhh ok ;-;

Me when it's done: alright let's start !

Game: sorry but nope u gotta wait a 20 minutes loading screen <33

Wei Wuxian: Hm?

Jin Ling: You ask me about jiujiu, you make sure I'm still talking with him, and it just seems like you care about his well being in general.

Wei Wuxian: What's confusing about that?

Jin Ling: I mean! If you care, why don't you go back? Talk to him yourself?

Wei Wuxian: ah, A-Ling. It's complicated.

Jin Ling: How complicated could it be???

Wei Wuxian: I care about Jiang Cheng. I have, and I will.

Jin Ling: I gathered that—

Wei Wuxian: I do not, however, care to serve him.

Jin Ling: ????

Wei Wuxian: My father served his father until he left with my mother. When I was brought in, Jiang-shushu raised me to serve Jiang Cheng the same way. We were close, but that was for a purpose. Jiang-shushu raised me to be like my father, and Madam Yu never let me forget my place. I was always raised to be Jiang Cheng's subordinate, and that's how we always were. My purpose was to be Jiang Cheng's second-in-command.

Jin Ling: ...

Wei Wuxian: But I don't want that purpose. I live here and now. I have Lan Zhan. I have Sizhui. I have Wen Ning. I have you. Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to interact with me without all of that baggage from the past, and I'm leaving the past behind me.

Jin Ling: but...

Wei Wuxian: No buts. I have my life, and I'm happy with it. If Jiang Cheng ever wants to be a part of it, he'll have to learn how to treat me like a cultivator; not a servant or someone he has rights to. I'm not someone he can lean on like that anymore.

Jin Ling: ...but you care about him.

Wei Wuxian: correct. But just because I care doesn't mean he has rights to me. I can care about myself and him at the same time.

Jin Ling: ...that is complicated.
