[ 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...

[ he's a big supporter of casual platonic moonlacing for health purposes anyway... he considers adequate body chroma levels to be a health concern. for him, a very important one in all those he cares about, including konoha. ]

Which is a great help for this Shen Qingqiu. Cordis appetites are endless, and sometimes it feels similar when the moon phase has ended.

[and she does so love a good cuddle, hug, or hand hold... thank goodness those made chroma too]

You should come over for dinner, then. I'll make you whatever you want if that helps during Cordis.

Would you mind if I take you up on that offer this next month? I imagine by then Gonta may feel somewhat more settled, and less as if his home and safe haven is being invaded by those he doesn't know.

[ by humans, he more or less means. he's happy to come over, but he would hate to put any more strain on someone who is clearly still under a lot of strain in his present circumstances. ]

[Master Shen is so considered ;;;;]

Next month would be great.

[ he has his moments!!! unless you're luo binghe, in which case he overthinks everything and then may end up being inconsiderate out of a desire to be considerate... ]

Then next month it is. I look forward to it, Miss Konoha.

Shall I leave you to your business for now?

Me, too.

... Thank you, Master Shen. For everything.

You're welcome, Miss Konoha. It's been my honour.
