[ The man who shares the lines of Beitang Moran's face in abstraction, who wears them better — he obscures more finely, too, though far from Lan Wangji to criticise a game of ill-played deception.
Powers that drain life force when overused — not merely deplete qi, for trickled, tense restitution. Does life force replenish itself, fairly and easily, without incentive? Does the man before him survive as a shell, hollowed further even for the accident of magic that Lan Wangji now witnessed? ]
Apologies. [ Soft, bartered. Taut, for how Wangji seeks access, words that will not hinder, accuse, perceive. ] Your constellations are unknown.
[ Aquarius, not Dragon or Rabbit, Rat, Rooster and Dog. No doubt, a different approximation of the same stars' twining, viewed from alternative vantage. All the same. ]
As is your power.
[ Anonymous, left without detail. Purposefully, though Lan Wangji cannot accuse, when Bichen sits a cavernous absence, searched every few hours at his hip and sash, as if she might yet incarnate in his keep again unknown to him.
The ask itself lacks courtesy. He knows: some abilities belong to the sect more than the person. Beitang Moran might prove unable to speak of that which is not his in more than name. ]
