CLOSED | burning in the line of fire
WHO: blade, dan heng, jing yuan & kafka
WHAT: first chaotic group outing of many
WHERE: the onsen
WHEN: vague hand gestures
WARNINGS: nudity? kafka with a riding crop, idk? will update when necessary
[ listen, if jingliu can set up a reunion between the old members of the high-cloud quintet with all of them leaving said reunion still alive despite the trauma, then jing yuan can too. it's inevitable, after all, given their current circumstances, and it's better to get things, hangups and baggages resolved and set aside sooner than later on the battlefield.
of course, with his gifts as the divine foresight, the general can easily foresee this as either a disaster waiting to happen or a peaceful gathering of old enemies-to-friends (acquaintances?). nevertheless, he sends a message to both kafka and Dan Heng: ]
The moon makes for a wonderful sight tonight here at the inn while soaking in the baths. Shall we drink our worries away before we're called for duty?
[ he trusts kafka knows who to bring, or drag if that's more appropriate.
jing yuan, on the other hand, will make sure there's alcohol snuck in and the open-air bath and a room will be available for their use for the next few hours. surely, the innkeepers won't be able to resist him. ]

since everyone's being a COWARD
she has no doubt that he'll likely be fine. he's a professional in his craft of taking naps in odd places, probably. but the combination of steeping in hot water and the effects of alcohol would surely still be detrimental for those as long-lived as them. funny as it would be to see him oversleep here, or find him in the bushes outside later, she'd rather not lose a collaborator so soon.
so, a nudge. more with her voice than a physical one. nothing untoward. this is still a public space. )
Are we going to need to carry you back to the base?
no subject
the nudge is more than enough for him to stir, though it doesn't look as if he's fallen asleep anyway. not with the way his expression shifts to alertness, any sign or hint of sleep quickly dissipating like the steam from their bath. a necessary talent that's been honed for years for someone like him. ]
Would any of those two consent to carrying me back to base?
[ because lbr, kafka isn't going to do any kind of heavy lifting. that much, jing yuan's sure. ]
