Wine and song. It sounds nice. [ Which is something Joonghyuk seldom says. ] Frankly, I can't imagine you waving a sword around.

[ He's just teasing. ]

[callalilies]

Well, I suppose I'm just full of surprises, aren't I?

[ smiling regardless, he feels that tease and just offers him a shake of his head. ]

But my duties require it. Cryo doesn't solve all my problems, after all. Something a blade is what you really need.

[malewife]

... But sometimes a blade isn't enough, is it? To solve your problems—to protect what you want to protect.

[ Sometimes he would like to put down the sword, really. ]

Do you think you would be able to win against me?

[callalilies]

[ he will nod that that. ] It's a balance of the two. And the knowledge to know when to utilize which.

[ the notion is oddly comforting. ]

Would you like to find out?

[malewife]

You can't complain at the end of it.

[ Just so Kaeya knows. ]

... Perhaps not this week. I don't want to reopen my wounds so early.

[callalilies]

I have no intention of crossing swords with you until you're healed, never fear Yoo Joonghyuk. That wouldn't be a very satisfying battle, would it?

[ he knows he would a. never hear the end of it and b. that's just rude anyways. he wants a fight that doesn't involve him . ]

But no complaining, that's a promise.

[malewife]

I've fought with missing limbs and a missing eye before, so injury is no issue, but it would be foolish. I would prefer not to wash my clothes more than I have to.

[ Efficiency. ]

Maybe the next week. You can choose what you want to bet.

[ Might as well put some kind of reward in it. ]

[callalilies]

[ little did they know all their old wounds would fucking reopen next week. literally. so. ]

Oh, I quite like a bet. I think I already know what I'd like.
