And... do you like sweet miso dumplings?

I do, yes.

[ Is it edible food? Then he likes to try it, and will decide after how much he particularly liked it. However, sweet miso dumplings are for sure something he enjoys, and hasn't had for a while. ]

How much are you planning on making?

[ A light sort of amusement in his tone of voice at the question. ]

Oh, you know, just enough to make the effort worth it...

[Cause, she's talking homemade, yo.]

THen this Shen Qingqiu looks forward to tasting what you'll make.

[ A pause, and then he says: ]

One moment, Miss Primrose has just gotten back to me.

[ He has to switch lines over, but then he's talking with her, and switching back to Konoha. Only ancient cultivator who knows the multi-line function! Probably! ]

Miss Primrose says she's willing to help answer as she can. She's Sanguis cycle herself. She's just asking that you contact her directly yourself.

[ He taps on his screen, sending a link with an associated number to Konoha... making it a direct click and be taken to the right person affair. ]

[Master Shen;;;

Konoha feels spoiled, that he would oblige her- and so quickly! Just a thanks seems insufficient, but how... to express it...]

And... does Master Shen like red bean soup?

[ He considers it delegation, Konoha, to a better person to achieve the task at hand... and if nothing else, he's learned how to quickly, efficiently delgate in the last six years. ]

Ah, yes, from the time's I've had it before, I can say that I do.

[ He's going to say yes to everything made or caught fresh. He's just going to. ]

Surely you're not intending to make so much at once?

Well, they all need pounded rice, so... as long as I make the red bean and miso beforehand it will be pretty easy to do once all the rice is dealt with...

[she can delegate, too! ... in the kitchen and the lumber yard anyway]

[ both good places to delegate! he'd be very proud! the number of people who never figure out delegation... it is too pitiful to consider.

he chuckles lightly at this, part of him still thinking food! as if he's really just a walking stomach, but he knows its more anticipation after how willing she'd been to learn different ways of making things. he's curious about her cooking in general. ]

I'll defer to your wisdom in this.

[Ehe...]

Then... watch out! I hope you're hungry.

I'll be looking forward to trying anything you make, Miss Konoha.

[ he'll be hungry! he's decently good at being hungry, unless you're serving him tasteless things! ]

I really appreciate you asking after me, Master Shen...

[so cooking is the least she can do!!!!]

And saving me before, too... Like twice now...

[which actually reminds her...]

... Can I ask a question, a ctually?

[ The thing with asking permission to ask a question is they're always already asking a question, and even when he does this himself he still finds it a little absurd. So they have to ask a question about asking a question out of politeness, and—that's beside the point! He'll keep saving her because he has the capability to do so, and the drive to do so. Sensible! Correct! What any good cultivator should aim for. ]

Certainly, please ask.

[ Because now you've made him curious! It's not about intimacy, that's what he's hooked her up with Primrose for, so what could it be? ]

When you saved me the first time... did you, um. Carry me? Like... in your arms? Or did I hallucinate that part?

[ He blinks, thinking back to the chaos on the roof. ]

It wasn't a hallucination. [ He admits, speaking a little slowly. ] I did pick you up in my arms at first.

[wait wait wait she’s like half a ton?]

Not... with magic? Just your arms?

Just my arms.

[ He confirms. That'd looked so inelegant, he knows it... and it hadn't been easy in the sense of giving Konoha anywhere in particular to take hold of him. ]

You... Can lift that much... ? Just like that?

Cultivators at my level of cultivation are capable of such feats, yes. Lifting more than that, too, if the need is present.

[ Don't ask what Luo Binghe can do, it's of course protagonist levels of insane... ]

Could you lift... twice me?

[Could he even lift Gonta????]

I should be able to, yes, as long as I wasn't suffering from a flare up at the time.

A flare up... ?

[That didn't sound good.]

[ ... whoops, he did not mean to mention his medical condition to her, but now that he has he can.................. totally play it off! Hahahaha! Fuck. ]

I have a lingering medical condition related to a demon poisoning I suffered some four [ no change that number that's A DEATH NUMBER which while accurate is also ominous ] or five years ago now. Most the time, the poison's effects are suppressed in my system, but every so often, they flare up. Moonlacing appears to help with my symptoms at those times.

Master Shen, you're sick... ?

[oh??? no??? the poison is still in his system after so long... ? it must be because it was a demon...]

I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize... If you ever need help, you have to call me! I can help!

In a manner of speaking, yes.

[ He's straight up poisoned, not so much sick, and it will eventually kill him, because he's not immortal enough to truly escape it. And he's avoiding the only known, foolproof cure, because he can't bring himself to go there.

So instead, he invests in stop gaps! Moonlace! Moonlace for your health! ]

Thank you, Miss Konoha. If I find myself in a situation at such a time, I will give you a call to ask for your assistance.

[ By which he means, as long as it can wait for her to arrive... so as long as it's not in moments of danger. He doesn't feel bad promising her as much, or even accepting her help. After all, he knows what it's like to want to repay a debt that feels too large to ever be paid back in full. ]

[Moonlacing for one's health is something she's never really thought of, even though she's heard of it as a way to treat injuries... but.]

Please do... you've already saved me twice, and all I'm doing is cooking for you...
