At one point, perhaps, the teasing wouldn't have come easy to him. Between Xingchen and Runyu he'd come out of his shell a great deal. Finding out that he was loved helped in that aspect. Something that Runyu has given him in abundance. So, the teasing came easy now.

He sips his and watches the two men in his life. The two people, out of the three he knows, that he would do anything for. No matter what the outcome or consequence was. "You laugh now, A-Yang, but I will find all the teas for him. Vast place, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard." In fact, he'd probably shift and go off that way.

The statement, however, has him giving a soft smile," It will never be any trouble for us to do something, anything, for you."

"So determined, Ye'er."

Runyu shook his head then looked to Ouyang. Giving him a fond look, he gently touched his arm.

"I wouldn't offer if I felt we couldn't do it. I promise."

With that, he looked to the armor stand then lifted a hand to create a weapon display waiting to be filled next to it.

A shy smile comes to his face as he listens to Mingye and Runyu. It's strange to have more than basic wants for a living space. Stranger still to have those needs met immediately (and with magic!). But he remembers the pallor in Runyu's face and the tiredness that followed gifting Ouyang with his scale.

"Does it tire you to do that?"

"Of course I'm determined," Mingye states with a bit of a laugh. Why wouldn't he be? If need be? He'd even go through the teas that they did have, write them all down, and then head out for more. The list being able to keep him from getting duplicates of what they already had.

He smiles when the weapon stand suddenly shows up. Even as he watches and listens to these two men he leans his head on Ouyang's shoulder, the feathers in his hair probably lightly brushing against the other's cheek.

"If it does tire him then he has my dark energy to pull from," He states softly. "As much as he'd need."

"This is easy for me, Ya'er. It won't tire me. Not the way pulling a scale from my body would. This is a natural flow of energy but it drains me to pull a piece of my real body away. But I've recovered since then."

Finally taking a sip of his tea, Runyu certainly looked just fine. His color was normal and he didn't appear to be suffering from the cold. It seemed he wasn't trying to pretend that this was fine when it was hurting him. So he smiled at Ouyang a moment later.

"I'm alright. I promise. Being with you both helps to restore me each day as well."

He's noticeably relieved to hear that. Tension slips from his shoulders and he nods in acknowledgment. It doesn't hurt that Mingye's head is against his shoulder, a solid, reassuring presence. He cants his head to press his cheek against those feathers.

He trusts them both. Trusts in their affection and their honesty. It's true, Runyu didn't try to hide the effect pulling away the scale had had, just the actual process of it (for which Ouyang didn't blame him). They're both so free with their magic, which is foreign and wondrous to him.

"I will do anything I can to help." Help them, help around their rooms. Whatever they need.

Mingye does not move from where he's sitting, or how his head is against Ouyang's shoulder. Though, listening to them talk actually has him a bit curious. Something that was on his mind knowing that Ouyang had a piece of their dragon too. His own scale against his chest.

"You mean if he'll let us help."

There's a teasing tone to his voice when he says it. He knows that Runyu won't have a problem with them helping, but there's hardly ever much to help with. He nuzzles against Ouyang's cheek, ruffling a few of his feathers when he does.

"So, we know that we can contact you with the scales and you'll know where we are at all times. Would that work the same with us or does it only work for you?"

Runyu blinked in surprise. Less because he hadn't expected to be called out so thoroughly in a sentence and more that he was amused that he had been. He let out a soft laugh and took another sip of tea as he shook his head. Leave it to Mingye to not let him get away with anything. Even before he'd done it.

Ah but that was a fair question.

"It is my body so that is why I can sense you. But unless you know magic that needs a piece of me to track back to me, I'm not sure how it would work for you. I think there would have to be another way to tie back to me for you both."

Ouyang grins at the teasing once more. He wonders how true it is, but thinks, perhaps, if these men want to keep him, it might not be such a bad life. Realistically, he knows he could never be a kept man. He would grow too bored with idleness. At least they can let him help keep the place tidy.

He's drawn from his thoughts by Mingye's question. It was something that hadn't occurred to him to be possible. Then again, it wasn't that long ago he thought dragons and magic were nothing more than myth.

"Perhaps there is someone in this place who can help us achieve that."

Teasing Runyu came as easy to him as breathing. He also knows that their dragon wouldn't ever hold them down. It was one of the reasons that Mingye was out in the tree playing his xiao or out walking the city. Being idle was not something that he, himself, was good at either.

There's a soft hum out of him as he listens to Runyu talk about how unless they knew magic that he wasn't sure how it would work for them. Though, that just makes him think that they could possibly find either a device or an amulet or a ring... something and embue it.

His eyes look between the two men in his life," Maybe. Or maybe we don't quite need magic, exactly."

Runyu looked interested as Mingye spoke up. He seemed to have an idea of some kind and he was intrigued. Perhaps something clever to allow them a way around this. So that way they could always find each other when they needed to.

Though he didn't plan to ever be in danger he knew it meant the world to them to be able to get to him so protect him if he was to find any.

"What are you thinking, Ye'er?"

Ouyang was also curious. He had far less experience with any sort of magic than either of his partners. It was a rarity in his world, not the norm as it seemed to be in theirs. He can't his head, attention hooked on Mingye as he waited silently for further explanation.
