[you know exactly why these are here don’t even play]

just be patient with me I only have two arms and crippling depression but damn it if I don’t want my replies to be good at the very least]

“Master Liu Bei, always the nice and good-natured one...In any case, I don’t like mentioning things or people I prefer were gone.”

“I think today is the day I properly confront my sister and make up for lost time. Glances of pure hatred from me have to be so hard on her.”

[hello naughty children it’s murder time]

[3:30AM] — Nevermind. I’ll be staying with Miao all day today.[3:32AM] — He’s distraught about Wisteria having a stillborn kitten. He doesn’t understand that sometimes these things happen.[4:32AM] — You can yell at me about breaking your sleep schedule later.

[10:15AM] — I don’t know why you’d ask for my input Guan Yu, but I assure you, Liu Bei wouldn’t rest well knowing you were thinking about a merger with Cao Cao.[10:15AM] — He’s a talented man with tons of money and power and a merger would benefit, but...personally speaking. You go through with that, you put me in the same space as my sister.  I take great steps in making sure we don’t even breathe the same air in the same room[10:16AM] — Look at it this way: Do you *really* want to upset your brother, though?[10:17AM] — Oh. Wrong number. Well then.[10:17AM] — Don’t draft those merger papers yet, clearly.

“Your pious nature leaves plenty of room for people to mishandle you, which is unfortunate. Master Xu, one should be careful when giving their heart away.”It was something Fa Zheng had lived by for years, even since he was a young man. In fact, he could count the people he trusted and cared for on just one of his hands and that was something he was content with. However...Fa Zheng raised his hands in surrender, “Or, I could be making an incorrect assumption. Perhaps you’ve been guarded so long it’s become a burden to you and it’s far easier to believe the possibility that you’re incapable of giving your heart away to just anyone.”The strategist could rarely tell with Xu Shu; all Fa Zheng knew was that Xu Shu was indeed a brilliant man whose talents were to be used and that he just needed a push in the right direction.

“He’s with a lovely and trustworthy handmaiden. I don’t leave him with just anyone.”

“There’s absolutely no catch. It’s just dinner, drinks, and maybe a little bit of judgment. Things are calm for once here in Chengdu.”

“Me? Plotting? I’d never. Now, come along with me to the teahouse. We have things to talk about. Drinks and dinner are on me.”

“Ah, so now you’re hard of hearing?”
