( he lets himself be pulled along, and it's up, and oh isn't that a blessing? is that not kindness? is that not bliss?
higher, and the top, the plateau of this plague of flesh is the sudden end of it, and the sliding smoothness of the way down the other side. wei wuxian stumbles, pulling out of bucky's hold with a yelp as his feet slide forward and he falls, right onto his rump. the slide is dust strewn and ash slickened, a slide forward that has him gaining speed and leaning back to not go into a tumbling roll.
he waves his arms, scrambles to slow himself, and suffers from the smoothness of it all that doesn't allow him the justice of a stop. he also doesn't see the figure standing frozen at the base of this sliding hill, the one that dips deeper than the steps they'd climbed, only that this person, this paladin by the look of the armour, stares out into the distance and stands eerily still. right in the pathway of wei wuxian's sliding gaffe, and he calls out, but it doesn't deter the man. the woman? impossible for him to tell before he's bracing himself for the impact incoming.
he hits the frozen figure, passing through air remarkably chilled for the ambient temperature, and the both of them go tumbling in a heap of limbs.
the cold is absent in that moment. for that moment.
the unseen motherless child's meal interrupted, and the paladin gasping for air, eyes wide and white rimmed. a whisper from her lips: )
