            "mmm...."  eventually,  the assassin gave up his search for whatever it had been that he was looking for.  he blinked his wide eyes at the other,  before he nodded slowly.  this job seemed easy enough.  nothing he'd never done before.  "okay...  by myself?"

            "⠀⠀near the frozen river banks north from here.   i'll give you details on the target through files.   you have a fortnight to eliminate them.   they are a leader in an influential organisation posted to harm her majesty.⠀⠀"

            "okay."  he answered with little hesitation,  not looking at capitano.  rather,  he was trying to look around him.  "where?  how long?"

            (   ...   )   "are you sure?  i bother everyone.  even just breathing."   [   this was said with ZERO emotion,  by the way.   ]

            mm.  me either.  just go where i'm told...

@palefIame 
            
            why are you asking so many questions...?  ..  um.  he said something about my face.  about it being boring,  i think.  he pushed me around some.  i don't remember much.  it doesn't matter.   *   shrug   *

fatui? wuqi.. did they give you a name? did they say anything to you? what did they look like? tell me.

@palefIame 
            
            *   blink   *   ...   oh.  i have a bruise.  on my leg.  it was from..  some fatui guy.  i am fine.

            should he really accept such a thing?  well,  it did seem almost like an order.  if feognost wanted him to wear it,  he wouldn't refuse.  so,  wuqi took the offered coat and carefully started to put it on.

⠀⠀⠀    ﹙   Ꭵ. ✴︎  @devoidlusion,⠀⠀"   it doesn't have to be right now.   "    assured feognost,  in which he brings an unused and clean coat for him to wear.    "   here,  you can use this for now to cover them.   "

@semperhiem 
            
            "yes."  the young man answered swiftly.  he wiped his hands off on himself,  the remnants of blood no longer on his skin but his clothes instead.  they had already been bloodstained,  though.  "i will clean up now...  but -  these are the only clothes i have right now."  

@underhnds /*   forgot the tag </3

"i..."  silence fell over the assassin for quite a while,  an unreadable expression on his usually blank face.  "i-...  can't...  i am not supposed to get tired of blood.  otherwise..  i have no purpose."

of course .. i am too . are you going to run away ?

            wordlessly,  wuqi sat down with his hands in his lap.  his posture was stiff.  he didn't even glance at the refreshments.  "okay.  what is the favor?"  he peered up at her,  nothing in his eyes.  they were more like black holes than anything. 

i only wished to speak with you,    so please-—   make yourself comfortable.        [a hand motions to a vacant table.   she signals the latter to take a seat and enjoy the refreshments that were left.  she continues on speaking,]         "the fatui's assassin,"      that's your title..      is it not?        i would like to ask of a favor from you.

@godwept 
            
            "it's fine.  i do not mind snow."  wuqi speaks and his tone lacks emotion.  it is blunt and flat.  he glances at her after stepping inside,  arms hanging down at his sides.  "why did you invite me in here?"  

@underhnds 
            
            wuqi's grip on the other tightened subconsciously,  nails almost digging into the fabric of luka's clothing.  "promised...  you did.  you have to be okay.  always."  he insisted lowly,  squeezing his dark eyes shut.  he didn't seem to want to let go.

“   i’m okay , see ? shh . you know i’d never die on you , right ? i promised .   “   all he could do was offer a slight smile . but nevertheless .. he accepted the hold , wrapping his arms around the younger in return .

@underhnds 
            
            "you...  you weren't..  i thought..."   his arms were tight around the man,  and he had no words left to utter. 

@underhnds 
            
            ...  look at the sky..

you want to what ? you can tell me .

@underhnds 
            
            i don't want to.  i want to...  nevermind.  i will go.

@underhnds 
            
            i don't want anything.  it is my purpose to follow orders.  so,  that is what i will do.

what i want is for /you/ to decide . you need to think for yourself , to truly consider what /you/ want and don’t want . you can’t keep following people’s orders blindly .

@underhnds 
            
            [  yes i am.  ]  why will i need it?  for /what/ exactly?  i will always be here.  ...  i can write more if you want me to.  i will do whatever you want.
