"It's the way of that world sadly. Specific power structures have to be held for whatever reason. Usually, the cultivation world does not want to do things beyond their own gain. But I think that is a conversation for another time." he chuckled softly.
"I am glad things are better for you here as well. I heard that you and Wangji are finally working things out." He leaned over to take a sip from his tea before answering.
"Hm. I suppose everyone knows about that. We have been working on our relationship with one another since I arrived here. We broke a lot of trust between us before. Er-ge and Wangji have also been kind enough to heal my body from my descent down the stairs. But I want to say that talking to him now is more like how it used to be before everything happened." he blushed deeply looking away to the side, the bioluminescent scales on his face taking on a pink hue.
"I may be cautiously in a relationship with him and Er-ge." he stated quietly. Though he for once felt compelled to share more. To try and articulate his feelings in a way he hasn't been able to share with many.
"I love them both a lot but, I still think it is safer for me to live with your siblings. Not that I don't trust them, but I just...I have a lot of things I need to work out on my own. Rebuilding trust and safety for myself. Jiang Yanli feels safe in a way that we can both help one another. And I've worked with Wanyin on taking care of our mutual nephew long enough to know him well as well. They feel like family in an odd sense. But I do wonder if I'm afraid. That people as mighty and righteous as Zewu-jun and Chifeng-zun can actually love someone like me."
