B Movie Meme
You and yours are noticing how suspiciously familiar this whole setting is. Surprise! You're in a B-Movie. And guess who's the star? Ding-ding. Well, saddle up, grab a knife, run up the stairs - whatever it takes to survive to the end credits.
1 - "Hail to the King, baby": Welcome to being sucked into an alternate dimension with castles and demons and books that try to eat your face off. But that's okay, you've got a shotgun and a chainsaw, right? This... is your BOOMSTICK. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.
2 - "I'm gonna need a bigger can of Raid": Spiders, preying mantises, cockroaches, ants... whatever it is that has more than four legs, it's now supersized and about to attempt to move up the food chain. You gonna take that sitting down?
3 - "But the sign says don't feed the animals!": Mother nature is pissed, and she's got the critters of the land riled up and coming after you. Whether it's snakes in a plane, rats being directed by a scrawny bastard with satchels, or genetically altered bats/sharks/sharktopuses, they all want a piece of the OTHER other white meat.
4 - "I vant to suck your bloooood": Some creepy ass mofo in a cape with bad dental work is giving you the eye. Big eyes. With some kind of unibrow shit going on that needs to be trimmed. Plucking isn't just for woman, buddy. Grab a chair leg, or hell, a pencil, and tell him that no means no.
5 - "Maybe you should have taken a left at Uranus": Yep. You guessed it. Space aliens. Weird little green men with big heads and eyes the size of footballs. What's that in their hand? Is that... is that a probe? Oh god, run. RUN!
6 - "The curse of... that thing with the curse on it": Whether you've come afoul of a witch's curse, or you've taken something from somewhere you shouldn't have, you're cursed. Things are dropping on you, that black cat keeps crossing your path, things break just as you touch them. What else can go wrong?
7 - "Braaaaaaaaains": What's a b-movie meme without the obligatory zombies? Whether it's the Dawn of the Dead shambling ones, or the 28 Days Later running freaks of nature that have magically learned how to do parkour, you've got to deal with them. Grab a cricket-bat and your least favorite record and have at it.
8 - "Input. Does not compute. Error. Error": Robots gone wild, weee! Well, as wild as a robot can get. But when you take into consideration that they're no longer listening to you, and have decided that you're a parasitic virus on the face of the earth, you might have to try to give it the ol' reboot. IF you can reach the button...
9 - "There's something touching my leg": Yeah, we've done evil animals, but this is specifically for the 'wtf are you still doing in the water, you goddamn idiot' scenarios. Be it huge crocs, giant anacondas, flesh eating piranhas, there's something in that murky water that wants to get a little more up close and personal with you. Say hi to Cthulu.
10 - "She blinded me with SCIENCE": You should really be more careful with your components. Your experiment has gone awry, either blending you or someone else with some poor critter you had, or some type of virus that's changing them in ways that are VERY NOT GOOD. Now's not the time to remember you didn't fully lock the restraints...
11 - "DRAGONS!": Because dragons deserve a category of their own. Seriously. Motherfucking DRAGONS, yo. And they think you look mighty tasty. And small. And puny. And helpless. Get the goddamn army to show them just how not helpless you are, or die trying.
12 - "Let's do the timewarp again": Either the tagger or the taggee is from the future or the past, coming with a message. Or just a desire to fuck shit up. Go back and kill Hilter, you say? But... I want to go into the future and fly my car around.
13 - "REET REET REET REET REET": Can we say pyscho? Or Mike Meyers? Or Krueger? Or Jason? However you want to say it, there's a crazy guy with a knife/chainsaw/sickle and you're the only thing on their mind. Can you and your tagging partner evade them? Or is your tagging partner the one after you?
14 - "Devil with the blue dress on": Something wicked this way comes. Its favorite numbers are 666, and it likes to drink blood on a moonlit beach. You've woken it somehow, or it was the prophesized time for them to come and claim what's theirs. Namely, you.
15 - "Tremors": Look. If you know tremors, than I don't have to explain this. Just give me graboids and explosions and extensive games of "The ground is lava."
16 - "Wildcard": Don't see what you feel like playing on here? Make it up and go your own way, compadre.
Relationship ideas:
1 Comrade in arms: You and the tagger are in this together. Until the bitter, bitter, bitter end.
2 Enemies: You're tagging in as the antagonist in this little scenario.
3 Unwillingly dragged into this: You were just walking along, minding your own business, when BAM. Now you're in the middle of this mega-crap.
4 Consulting Expert: You're the expert that they're coming to for answers. You got any? HUH?
5 Wildcard: Come up with your own relationship.
[[From Memebells circa 2012 or something ridiculous like that]]

On the wider scale of things, it's not like he was completely lonely. Even if he didn't have his parents, he had his uncles from his father and mother's side. They both took care of him in their own way. Again, he would like to think that not all the affection and care that Jin Guan Yao had given him were truly false. After all, Fairy was one of the most precious gifts he's gotten and the familiar had always been there to protect him.
It's a long winding path of growth for Jin Ling. He definitely has softened a bit from their first encounter, but some old habits are so hard to get rid off. Especially, his temper. Jin Ling is aware and is watching him carefully. He slows his pace at times or stop to let the other gather himself or take a breath. Eventually, this entire situation is starting to feel a bit ridiculous. ]
I'm-- fine.
[ He sharply replies to the question. Seriously?! He's barely got any injuries other than scrapes from branches, and a bruise or two for being thrown around. He's in way better condition than Wei Wu Xian-- minus being drained of a lot of energy but that can be replenished. ]
This isn't working.
[ He stops walking abruptly after that, seeing and feeling that Wei Wu Xian isn't going to make it if they keep this pace. He begrudgingly clears his throat and speaks out again, albeit in a more demanding manner. If there's a time to say that he really took after his father, this is probably one of those times. Maybe. ]
Get on.
[ Yes-- Get on his back
uncleWei Wu Xian. :| ]no subject
It's fine, I can walk. [Sort of. See? He takes a step and immediately begins to fall over, catching himself on Jin Ling's shoulders to stop himself. Okay so maybe not. With a reluctant sigh, he hauls himself up onto Jin Ling's back, immediately letting his eyes fall closed and his burning forehead rest on the back of the boy's neck.]
...sorry, Jin Ling. [His lips pull up into a self deprecating smile and he's glad Jin Ling can't see it. What a useless uncle he turned out to be.]
no subject
He huffs, annoyed at the pathetic attempt to prove otherwise. ]
You can't even stand, much less walk.
[ He gives Wei Wu Xian a dead pan look. ]
Look. I'm doing this because I don't want to be indebted to you.
[ He replied curtly. It's half the truth but not the full one. After that statement, he finally was pleased with the result. He shifted the other comfortably on him as Wei Wu Xian laid his head on his neck. He can feel the heat radiating from him. He probably has a fever. Jin Ling picks up his pace in a small jog as he in a matter of a few minutes, he's in front of the clinic. ]
If you're sorry-- then don't die.
[ He muttered awkwardly, before shifting the other enough that he could knock on the door of the clinic in a heavy manner until it is opened. ]
no subject
Wei Wuxian lets out a soft sigh, squeezing one of Jin ling's shoulders where his hand rests against it.]
Promise not to. [Die that is. Of all the ways he'd thought he might die in this life and the last, he had never considered a dumb spider bite and he sure as hell isn't allowing himself to succumb to something so ridiculous. The clinic door opens up eventually and an apprentice healer leads them inside, helping Jin Ling move Wei Wuxian to a day bed. He is vaguely aware of conversation happening though he keeps his gaze resting contentedly on Jin Ling, fighting the urge to close his eyes and let unconsciousness take him.]
no subject
He wants to get rid of the venom from Wei Wu Xian's system, bathe and rest, since they won't be able to travel very for at this rate. Jin Ling stiffens up at the squeeze on his shoulder, because seriously, personal space!! ]
!!!-- Fine, alright I got it.
[ He can't ever get used to any of this. He doesn't get it and he shakes it off the best he can for no as a healer comes out to aid them. That is when Jin Ling is finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He spoke briefly to the apprentice and explains the situation, mentioning the spider and such as he and the apprentice lay Wei Wu Xian down. He gestures to where the other is bit and sure enough when the healer started on the wound, he could see the big bite mark and the discoloration on the skin. He's more than a little poisoned. Jin Ling shuddered at the sheer look of it.
After a few hours of work and diagnosis, Jin Ling was told that the they were extremely lucky because the venom could have been dangerous if left unattended any longer and due to the size of the spider described, it made sense that the poison was far worse than a normal spider bite.
What stubborn person. Even in this much pain, he chooses to not voice it. Jin Ling can't be more upset than he is at the moment but he swallows it all drying as he helps the apprentice check up on the man once they lay him down.
At the end of the day, the healer gave him a few packs of herbal medicine that he has to boil for Wei Wu Xian to take for the next few days. They also managed to get most of the venom out of the system and the wound itself was cleaned and wrapped up good as new. The apprentice said they could stay here for a bit longer if they needed but didn't recommend doing any strenuousness travel until the patient is 100% recovered. He also requested Jin Ling to bring Wei Wu Xian back in a few days to get a second check up and ensure that they didn't miss anything and get more herbal medicine if needed.
At that moment, Jin Ling does breathe a sigh of utter relief now that the danger was over. He supposed there's not much he can do and just collapses on the floor by the day bed, and leaning against it with his sword. A few hours of rest and then the search for an inn. What an exhausting day. ]
no subject
Jin ling-[He tries and flinches, voice rough with sleep and lingering fever. He feels better than before, clearer, but he can tell some effects remain. He clears his throat and tries again, calling out for his companion.]
Jin Ling? [He sits up further, pushing through the discomfort when worry nips at the edge of his thoughts. His worries are almost immediately assuaged however when sitting up provides him with the impossible picture that is Jin Ling asleep on the floor at his bed side. Wei Wuxian's mouth falls open in shock for a moment before his eyes take on a glazed affectionate haze and he smiles.
Since he's pretty sure that if he were to get down on the floor he wouldn't be able to get back up, he swings his uninjured leg over the side of his bed and gently nudges Jin ling with the toe of his boot.]
Hey. Jin Ling. Wake up. [Much as he wants to let him sleep, on the floor next to his sick bed is just about the worst place to do it. better to get him into an actual bed.]
no subject
He doesn't hear his name called until he feels the toe of the boot connect with his shoulder and immediately wakes up in alert, shooting a look groggily in the direction of the foot, only to see Wei Wu Xian up and awake. He pushes the foot away from him because that's kind of rude too. :| ]
Mmn-- Wha-- huh? You're awake.
[ He slightly rubs the sleep out of his eyes. He's tired and anywhere is a good spot to sleep really. It would have been nicer if he could have curled up with Fairy but-- Wei Wu Xian... so he skipped that part. ]
no subject
Unfortunately. [He snorts and shakes his head, immediately regretting it when it aches more.]
We should go find an inn. You're exhausted, you carried us both back after a long fight. Also-[And he reaches out before Jin Ling can stop him, tugging on a wisp of his hair that's been gelled together by dried spider guts]
You need a bath. [He smirks. Technically they both need a bath (or five) but teasing Jin Ling is the best way he knows how to reassure the kid that he really is okay. Still a little sick, still in some pain, but going to be okay.]
no subject
You shouldn't move too erratically. The healer said that the amount poison in your system could have killed you because that spider was so big. It released a lot of venom when it bit into you. You're not allowed to do anything strenuous. He also gave us medicine......
[ Jin Lin points to the table with the packages of wrapped up herbal medication. There's a scoff from him for that statement. Really, should he even be lecturing him right now? ]
Of course I'm tired and I know we should be-- hey!
[ He slaps his hand away immediately for tugging his hair. Personal. Space.! How many times does he need to keep refuting this? Also, he can't fool Jin Ling at this point. He looks like crap. ]
You're not any better, so stop reminding me!
[ He added with a huff before straightening himself up again and fixing his messy clothes. He supposed he'd have to get them washed too. Ugh. He continues organize himself enough and grabs the medicine and looks back over at Wei Wu Xian. ]
Can you walk?
[ Does he need to carry you again? ]
no subject
After a brief hesitation in which Wei Wuxian carefully swings his bad leg over (and boy is that fun) he slowly rises to his feet, carefully concealing his expression behind a blank mask of indifference. If he can walk with a freshly missing golden core, he can walk with a minor leg injury. The freshly wounded leg feels weak and the sudden rush of blood now that he's standing makes it scream in pain, but Wei Wuxian can walk without falling over and he only gives Jin Ling a victorious smile.]
Any idea which direction the nearest inn is at?
just this look.
Can you now.
[ He replied giving the older man a completely suspicious look. Even his tone is obviously sarcastic. He crosses his arms and sizes down his alleged uncle, completely not believing anything he has just said to him.]
It's a walks away from the clinic. This town is pretty sizable.
shrug emoji!!!
He crosses his arms over his chest, nonchalant as he raises an eyebrow at Jin Ling.]
Well. Which way is it then?
You asked for it. :|
[ Whatever Jiang Model it is, he's definitely not giving a single horse shit about it. In fact, the comment goes completely ignored as Jin Ling's face darkens at the obvious avoidance of his retort.
Instead, he takes his index finger and thumb, puts them together and starts whistling. Let's see if you're okay, Wei Wu Xian. Let's see. ]
What a monster
Why are you like this?
Wei Wuxian once again goes pale, the facade of indifference dropping from his expression fast enough to give a person whiplash.]
Why! Fine! I take it back! What's wrong with you? [He half jumps half skitters backwards until he's pressed to the wall, moving so quickly his face contorts in pain along with dawning horror.]
Carry me, roll me down the street, I don't care, just don't call that thing here!
[This is not Wei Wuxian admitting that he's in pain. This is Wei Wuxian willing to do whatever Jin Ling asks of him if he'll send his horror beast away. Either way though, Jin Lin gets what he wants.]
The best monster. I'm sorry I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe for a hot minute. XD
[ There is no mistake that he definitely inherited a lot of pretty bad traits both from Jiang Cheng and his father. To be fairly honest. He's also the kind of person that wants things to go his way and isn't afraid to use the weakness of others against him. Blame his deceased uncle for that one too. It is kind of a crime to be clever.
Wei Wu Xian has such an obvious weakness, how can he not exploit it? It's not like he's trying to traumatize him more, but he's not going to get what he wants because Wei Wu Xian is tight lipped. So something had to be done. ]
Hmph, What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?! You have some kind of talent for lying through your teeth like that.
[ Seemingly pleased with his response, Jin Ling walks a few feet away from Wei Wu Xian to receive his protector. The soft, fluffy creature came yipping into its masters arms as he strokes it a few times. He hope that Fairy won't be mad at him for sending it off again after a few pets.
He whispers something to Fairy and lets it off into the night. It'll probably be following them still, but Wei Wu Xian won't be seeing him. He then stood up, and crossed his arms. Whatever agreement he came to because of Fairy, he doesn't care. At least, he's complying. ]
Let's find that inn. Get on.
[ Who says Jin Ling is a pushover? ]
no subject
He kind of misses when Jin Ling would have left him for dead. (Okay not really but still.)]
You're way too much like Jia-Sect Leader Jiang. [He's gonna go ahead and blame the fever for the near slip up with familiarity. He and Jiang Cheng might be in a better place now then they have been in years, but they're hardly in a place where Wei Wuxian is allowed to address him like that anymore.]
no subject
Jin Ling can clearly see, his macho act moments before were a giant fluke. He could barely keep himself moving correctly. Does he though? Too bad, since he's the on that's been forcing his unwanted attention on Jin Ling, he's going to have to deal with his nephew being a complete caring prick in return. Once Wei Wu Xian secures himself on his back, he balances the weight with his arms and sort of nudges the packets of medicine for Wei Wu Xian to hold. After all, he can't carry him and carry the medicine.
He fights the urge to eye twitch at that comment, but the man isn't wrong. If one spends a ton of times with someone like Jiang Cheng ( which is way more than he should ). it stats to rub off. At least, he's not beating Wei Wu Xian with his weapons. He just scoffs ]
It's not the first time someone's said that.
[ Though, in his uncle's defense, Jiang Cheng has to balance a lot of things. Even though Jin Ling belonged to the Lanling Jin Sect, Jiang Cheng never once stopped taking care of him in his own, messed up way. ]
Don't blame uncle. He's always got a lot to juggle.
[ Of course, that's also muttered under his breath because, despite how horrible Jiang Cheng may seem, he knows that his uncle cares a lot about him and the problem is that he's so caring and overprotective that he results in this constant cycle of threats and beatings. Of which, none have been done to him. He's been completely unscathed, so much more than Wei Wu Xian at this point.
Without saying anything else, he starts walking. The short amount of sleep actually help give him some energy back. ]
no subject
I don't blame him. [It's said almost as softly as Jin Ling's words, quiet in a way that has nothing to do with how tired he is. They weren't family anymore, not in any way they can acknowledge at least. They weren't friends and could barely pass for allies. They were neutral at best, able to part without violence though it was hardly as though any warmth lingered between them. At least not from Jiang Cheng. Wei Wuxian loves him. Will always love him. For Jiang Cheng's sake he'll stay away and hope his once shidi can find the peace he so desperately deserves.
And even if it's a pain in the ass, he can't help but smile at the echoes of his brother that he sees in Jin Ling. Stubborn and proud, unwilling to ask for help. But so big-hearted he doesn't know what to do with it. Though with Jin Ling, there's a softer edge, a thinner barrier of self defense, and a soft kindness in his eyes no matter how he tries to conceal it that can only have come from Shijie.
His train of thought has him melancholic and he shakes it off, pushing those things aside. There's no use dwelling on such things right now.]
When we find an inn and you get some rest, you don't have to wait for me. It's going to be a few days before I can go, right? I won't keep you.
[It's one thing for the cultivation world to see him as a bad influence on Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji's reputation could withstand it, and he knew how to silence that kind of talk. Jin Ling is still a kid in so many ways, and Wei Wuxian knows that there are those within and outside of the Jin Sect who would see him fail in order to vie for power of their own. He won't make it easier for them by giving them reason to throw Jin Ling's acquaintance with the Yiling Patriarch into the spotlight.]
oh no that's cute. lolol and hurts at the same time oof. XD
[ Without a doubt, Jin Ling is pretty sure that Wei Wu Xian knew his uncle more than he had. They spent so many years together. Even if things fell apart, it's kind of hard to completely severe that bond. Even if the two of them are stupid stubborn and won't approach the other about it. It kind of infuriates him, but they're adults, it's not his business and he doesn't need to get his head bit off for being nosy. Though at the same, he feels like the glue that can possibly put them together.
That's something he will think about on another date, when he's much older and capable. No one is going to listen to a teenage princess at this point. He's going to have to really mature for that to change. The subject got a bit too serious and Jin Ling listens to his refute without anymore snark. He continues to walk along the path now lit with lanterns to the inn. It's definitely and walk and he's somehow pretty relieved that Wei Wu Xian isn't trying to traverse this amount of distance. He might reopen the wound and other things. He's sure.
Jin Ling can't help that he's the way he is. Without proper guidance from parental figures, he kind of went delinquent. Even so, he still maintains his own pride and dignity. Wei Wu Xian isn't wrong. He's all of that and probably more. Though, it might be nice to hear the part about his mother, but those kinds of conversations are too soon. Maybe in the future. He might actually find it bittersweet.
The silence obviously doesn't last long when Wei Wu Xian said something stupid again. Honestly, no matter what kind of person goes at him, whether they are from his sect, other sects and what not, he still can refute them. He's not as weak and fragile as he appears to be. The man really needed to stop worrying about him in this sort of back handed way. Jin Ling is way too proud and way too diligent for his own good. He'll make sure to shut up all the rumors and negative commentary with his own. He'd also do it so dignified that no one can tell him otherwise. ]
Who asked for your opinions?
[ He bites back turning his slightly to give Wei Wu Xian a look. ]
What I do is my business. As if I'd leave an injured person by themselves.
[ And THAT'S that. Like mentioned, he's stubborn but he cares, so shut up and don't laugh at him for it.
Honestly, he probably knows where this is stemming from but he likes to think that he can handle it on his own and even then it's annoying to rely on other people for help. Just because he chooses to associate himself with a question person, doesn't mean he's questionable. Plus, it's despite all the negativity with the Yiling Patriarch, he still saved a ton of people's lives and basically did more than any sect could have done prior. He thinks it's stupid if they say otherwise. He knows how to use his words, correctly, albeit it will probably strike a lot of nerves. ]
dumb brothers, what're ya gonna do
Such a stubborn child. [He smirks, amusement clear in his voice. It's probably better than letting Jin Ling hear the affection. The poor boy has even less tolerance for that than teasing, though it's always hilarious to watch his face turn bright red.]
Fine, fine, you can play nursemaid all you want, I won't stop you. Anyway, you've already done a great job so far. Carrying me all the way to the healer and now carrying me to an inn. Such a kind hearted young master.
[They've just reached the inn when he finishes speaking and Wei Wuxian lets out a sigh of relief. Much as he no longer feels like he's dying, his head is still warm with fever and his whole body aches. After they've both bathed, he's going to sleep for a week.]
he's gonna do something when he's able ... haha
Like you're one to talk... [ mutter.... mutter ]
[ His eyes twitches in annoyance at the remark. Pot calling the kettle black much? Like he has any right to say otherwise. ]
I'm not a nursemaid. What nonsense are you even saying?
[ He bit back with a bit of annoyance. Can't you be at least normal for once and not tease him for stupid stuff like this? It's not his fault he's built this way. He doesn't know why this guy keeps trying to purposely strike his nerves sometimes. Some of it may be because of how he is refuting Wei Wu Xian right now. Never mind that he's kind of flustered at the words too. ]
I don't need to hear it from someone who throws himself out in the face of danger. I already told you it's because I don't want to owe you anything!
[ He gets a dead pan reply for that almost back handed compliment. He really wants to drop him then and now for the comment but forces himself to chill out until they secure a room in the inn. Eventually, he's handed all the materials needed for the room and finds his way there. The door's quickly opened with some grace before it's slammed behind them.
Without warning, Jin Ling just drops him flat on the bed. As much as he wants to drop him on the floor, he can't risk being responsible for more injuries. (lucky for Wei Wu Xian, really.) ]
he's a good boy...under all of that demon energy
Of course, of course. Don't worry, I won't mistake it for anything else.
[He grins.]
Anyway, they'll be sending up a bath soon, you go first. We should probably order food when they bring the bath too. Did you eat at all earlier while I was asleep?
[He doesn't get the sense Jin Ling did which makes it almost all day since the boy has eaten and he isn't old enough yet to perform inedia. Not that Wei Wuxian could perform it in this body either.]
unintentionally he tries to be I suppose. all that demon energy~
You better not.
[ He sharply replies as he unloads all his gear on the table next to them. He patted his shoulders and arms a bit since carrying Wei Wu Xian and his gear was added weight. ]
I asked them to send up food while you were requesting for the bath. They should be bringing it in soon.
[ He doesn't answer the second question since really, when did he become Jin Ling's mother asking about every little thing? That and even Jin Ling doesn't know how to answer this amount of care and affection. He's not arguing because he needs to get washed up among other things. He feels extremely gross and disturbing to even be walking around with this much good in his hair and clothes. He'll need to probably wash his clothes too. ]
no subject
When he opens his eyes again it's a surprisingly difficult task and he sits up with a groan, beginning to peel off his wrist guards before leaning over to remove his boots. It's a painful process to lean that far over, but there's no way he's letting Jin Ling get all fussy and come over to do it himself. The boy had to leave him some dignity at least.
By the time he's done shedding what he can, both the food and bath water have been brought, and he motions to Jin Ling to start with his bath.]
Neither of us are eating before we've bathed and they'll have to change it out between. Bathe then eat. I'll take it after you. I want to sit here for a bit anyway. [It isn't a lie, the thought of getting up and hauling himself into the tub is one that's just a bit too intimidating at the moment. He'll take a breather first.]
no subject
[ In all honesty, he probably wouldn't attempt undress Wei Wu Xian, the way he had once done to Jin Ling. He's not as bold at Wei Wu Xian and he sure as hell knows that there's definitely some dignity that needs to be reserved. After all, he's probably tortured the other enough times today. He just gives him a once over and continues to relax himself and takes most of the outer layers of his clothes. He frowns staring at them being utterly contaminated with spider guts. He gives a frustrated grunt before Tossing it in the pile of his arm guards, shin guards and belt.
All the while he was doing all of this, he did give Wei Wu Xian a few glances to make sure he's not going to hurt himself or fall over. At least, he seems to behaving. ]
I got it. [ he sighs. ] Focus on yourself for once and stop acting like you're my guardian. [ This sort of attention to detail is still uncomfortable for Jin Ling. He's not used to people fussing about little things like taking a bath or eating. Jiang Cheng only really got extra worried and mad if he got hurt than anything. There's a chance he may have to walk the other over to the tub later. He doesn't trust Wei Wu Xian not falling at the attempt to swing himself over to get in. He's not volunteering to do beyond that. ]
[ He doesn't intend to eat like this either. It seemed like it'd be bad manners to eat the way they both looked,covered in basically the gunk from their travels. He still has the under layers of his clothes on as he gathers the rest of his discarded clothes towards the bath tub that has been drawn. Thankfully, there's a screen between the tub of water and the rest of the room for privacy.
Jin Ling will quickly scrub as much as he can of everything with the drawn bath water. He made sure to also clean his hair and face. He's used to getting dirty but this is a new definition of getting down and dirty. He honestly prays they will not meet anything like those things again. He manages to at least somewhat clean some of the same gunk off his clothes too that he had taken off. ]
