“ surely you could spare a few strales for your dear companion, jing yuan, after your antics almost got us banned for life. ”
imagine for a moment that said antics were not, in part, the artisan’s fault too. he never did when it came to the inscrutable naughtiness of the young cloud knight. the meals yingxing received outside of baiheng’s generous splurges on him tended to be composed of scholarship rations and whatever drab food he could throw together on an apprentice’s salary. he found no particular shame in goading jingyuan into emptying his pockets, even if the earnings of a cloud knight in training were not that much better. at the very least, until jing yuan agreed he would be swiping cuts of meat from the other’s plate of noodles, blending them seamlessly into his own.
“ maybe not a long wait for me, but how could you go so many centuries without this ? ” the chow fun here was delectable, after all.
semi - plotted starter.
