A DRABBLE FOR YOUR TROUBLES / accepting! / @diimsum

early song dynasty, somewhere along the yangtze river 

Snaking his way through the dense thicket of bamboo, Longwei’s discerning eye never remained in a single place for very long. He continuously scanned his surroundings, bracing himself for anything that might jump out from the brush and attack him. A few paces ahead of him, Jialong ran eagerly forward without a care in the world.

“Jialong! I said to stay close. You’ll hurt yourself running off like that,” he begins to shout after him, trying to avoid drawing any unwanted attention towards himself. While the last thing he wanted to do was bring a child on a scouting journey in the ruthless wilderness, Jialong had insisted on coming and as Longwei would find out, he was sadly not immune to his young brother’s persistent and surprisingly persuasive pleas. So here they were, scouting together, although Longwei was sure he was doing most of the scouting between the two of them. He had a light bounce to his step now, trying to remain within at least an arm’s length of the child he was responsible for. And sure enough, as soon as Longwei broke eye contact for just a second, Jialong was out of sight. Luckily, Longwei didn’t have to look much farther. A mere few moments later he heard a faint thud, followed by a muffled yelp. He throws all caution to the wind, and rushes out into the open to find his brother on the verge of tears, examining what appears to be a scrape on his elbow. “Oh, my little dragon…” Longwei sighs in weary relief, kneeling down in front of him to survey the injury. “This is why I told you to stay close to me. You always manage to hurt yourself when you wander off like this.” His gentle scolding is accompanied by a laugh, which perhaps lessens its impact, but that was a price he would pay later on. “Well, you’ll be alright,” he croons after giving Jialong a quick once over, “it’s not much more than a flesh wound. Besides, I’m sure it’ll take a lot more than that to stop a fierce dragon such as yourself! You take after your big brother in that way.” He gives a satisfied little hum, rising to his feet. “Now come along. You know as well as I that a journey only stops when the task at hand is complete.” Jialong is quick to try and take off again as soon as the opportunity presents itself, but Longwei quickly nips it in the bud. “Oh, no you don’t,” he hollers, swooping in and pulling his brother into his arms, nestling him right on top of his shoulders. “You’re staying right here where I can see you.” His hands secured tightly around his brother’s legs, Longwei walks along the glistening river’s bank. His eyes travel up towards his brother, and when they do, the ghost of a small but content smile can be seen lingering on his face— a true rarity for him. Although Longwei had taken on the role of protecting Jialong from harm, he realized then that in some ways, his little brother had done the same for him. At that very moment, amidst the symphony of the babbling brook and the crying ospreys, he mumbles something only he alone would hear. “My little dragon… thank you for saving me.”

“Well, I suppose I don’t have much basis for it, no.” She shrugged her shoulders and smoked her own cigarette for a few seconds. 

“But he can’t get mad if you don’t get caught, right? Don’t tell me this is your first time forging his signature. I do Ludwig’s all the time, and he doesn’t know. Or he pretends not to, which is just as fine.” She grinned and poked his shoulder. “Come on, you can do this. What’s one little signature in the grand scheme of things?”

#diimsum #lol I don't know what they're forging for but I love it just the same #they are horrible influences on each other aren't they?

“ what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say? ”  (for arthur ofc also hi <3)

"Believe it or not, being a clever little twat isn't always the appropriate reaction," he snapped. But then, when he went on, his tone shifted slightly softer, a little weary: "Or maybe I'm just getting old, and I've had far too much time to reflect on my actions. Maybe, I've grown bloody sick of bullshit, and I'd just like to be sincere with you because I--... I care about you."

Whistler & Vancouver Travel Tips

Vancouver Food | Whistler | Travel Tips

We flew Air Canada to Vancouver from Boston. Last year the luggage were delayed getting into Vancouver. Luckily we stayed right at the airport. This year it came on time and fast, in just 20 minutes after we got off the plane. My brother-in-law's flight was delayed 3 hours though. We highly recommend you staying near the airport, in case of flight or luggage delays.

Richmond

Richmond next to the airport is a great place to stay, for all the delicious Asian food. Then next morning you can have a meal there before exploring the town a bit. Our favorite hotel is the Radisson Hotel Vancouver Airport, since close to an Asian mall and early morning (9am) diimsum. From there it's about half hour to get to Vancouver downtown.

Waking up early the next day, we set out to find food. At T&T Market, we found lots of cool Asian food packages for ramen and Korean cold noodles, and tons of great produce like perfect longans, and lots of cakes to chose from.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Mall

What a great idea to have a designer outlet near the airport. We had fun shopping and gawking here after a big meal. There's a good Northface outlet that we bought a lot of gears from. And fancier stores like Versace and Armani.

Vancouver

Vancouver reminds me of a cleaner, nicer San Francisco, with hills going up and down and great sea view.

Stanley Park

Stanley Park is the big park just to the north of the downtown. It offers great sea views, totem poles. giant trees

You can see how clear is the water in Vancouver Harbor.

Sea to Sky Highway

The drive from Vancouver to Whistler Ski Resort takes about 1.5 hours on the aptly named Sea-to-Sky Highway. There's great view of the mountains and sea on the left as you drive up.

Fannar hadn’t meant to pull a push door. But in doing so, he pushed the door too hard, and jumped when he heard a thud and a groan from the other side. Part of him wanted to run away right there, but he was in a room with only one exit, and he was standing in front of it.

Peaking out through the door, he saw Xiang there, and he immediately felt worse. He could already imagine the tongue lashing he would receive. ‘Xiang, I’m—I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise you were there, I thought the door was jammed—’ he explained hurriedly, almost wanting to reach out with cold hands to help in… some way. But he didn’t. He stood there, awkwardly, tugging at the hem of his sweater vest. ‘... Are you okay?’

iman throws back her head and laughs,  but that is just as short-lived as her amusement at the situation.  “ you really believe i’m the type to make empty threats ?  clearly,  you know nothing about me. ”  as she speaks, she does not hesitate to invade the other’s personal space,  like a hunter closing in.  “ still,  you are right about one thing,  i must say.  i haven’t changed.  the persian empire may be no more,  but i am still here,  i am still just as powerful,  and i can squish you like you were nothing more than a tiny ant. ”

“ Oh, hush! You don’t have to do anything more for me, you understand? Besides, getting to look at your adorable face is more than enough to make my day. ”  She took a moment to envelop him in one of her tight hugs, even deciding to give his body a light, little twirl. Just for extra measure.

A simple knock never sounded so grating. Though he could hear just about anyone approaching well before ever seeing them once the offices around his cleared out, it was the scent that Kiku picked up on-- unfortunately. When the sound came again, a scoff covered up the disgust.

"And what brings you all the way here? I've already been invited to another engagement for the lunar new year." There was a hint of disdain on the last few words, but overall, Kiku seemed a little too pleased with himself for scoring an invite at all-- even if it was Hikaru who was actually invited.

After all was said and done, he'd have to find out just who let Xiang in here to begin with.

Lily tsked at him and continued to clean and bandage his hand. "It would be done sooner if you stopped bellyaching about it." She frowned as she fastened the wrap around his hand. "I'm sure you get into worse things. So do I, quite often. And I know we both heal up. But it's nicer and easier when the wound has been cared for. Besides," she paused to press her finger into his palm to make him flinch while she looked him in the eye, "it wouldn't look good if I just stood by and let you wander around all bruised and bleeding, now would it?"

She smiled, now holding his hand gently. "Let's not get any authorities or higher ups involved in this, alright?"

#diimsum #oh it was perfect #she's loving this

[brassandblue]

“ did you just forget about me or something? ” (for arthur ofc)

"Forget? About you? Never. Feeling dramatic today, are we? Perhaps I should call more often.... But that's no way to say 'hello', is it?"

He is, of course, being tongue in cheek.

@diimsum continued from here

"I don't care, I need an answer anyway."

Any form of respectability had gone out the window along with the smoke exhaled from Julian's nostrils, flowing towards the outside world to be carried away with the summer breeze. The stuffiness of the atmosphere, both physically and metaphorically, was almost enough to drive Julian mad right there, but he attempted to remain composed in his uncomfortably tight suit and glass of lukewarm whiskey.

"Stop signing me up for these random business ventures without telling me if you don't want questions. Don't you know I have things to do?"

What were those things, exactly? Well, Julian still had yet to figure that out himself.

       “ random. ”  he repeats, almost with disdain, as if the mere word were offensive. in a way, it is. random — a stand-in for an accusation of thoughtlessness. and if there is anything he is not, it is thoughtless. but he merely shakes his head, eyes not meeting Julian’s. the tense silence says enough. words are not necessary to express his disapproval. 

        “ — and I’m not required to consult you on anything. acting like you’re the bloody Prime Minister, ” the latter part he huffs with an intolerant sigh, before bringing his cigarette to his lips, tapping his foot impatiently. he, too, is appropriately dressed for the meeting that awaits them, though he sports his own suit with much more ease than Julian.  “ but — by all means, go tend to all your other things to do. I’ll cancel all your meetings; you won’t hear a peep from me about random business ventures again. ”  he blows a puff of smoke from his cigarette, before gesturing in a ‘ go on ’ manner.   “ I have a very high balcony from which to watch your economy implode. ”
