[ "Possibly not great company" reads as needing some cheering up, in Chongyun's mind. That may not be his strongest suit, but he can certainly try. There's a whole gym filled with pillows for them to battle with, so, in his mind, he's got a shot at this. Which is why he promptly responds. ]
That's fine, you'd have gotten smelly and sticky after being with me anyway. So a little more won't matter, right?
[ He totally does not see how that could be read in a very salacious way. Nope, he's just throwing that whole statement out there unironically. It's true, isn't it?? They'd work up a sweat doing pillow battles ... ]
[ There is nothing to be concerned about because the person on the other end doesn't think too much about it. After rummaging through piles upon piles of dirty broken down and disgusting toys his immediate thoughts are to wonder if perhaps there is some connection to be found. Although if Chongyun said he might like it then he cannot imagine what it would really be.
All he knows is that he doesn't want to become any more smelly and sticky.
Perhaps this is some form of retribution? Which only prompts him to be wary until he reminds himself he is communicating with Chongyun. He knows what the exorcist is waiting for: A positive response from him. He doesn't readily give it. Despite having gotten to his feet, a nice warm shower and bed are calling him. ]
[ He does wonder if it would have been kinder to just let Xingqiu go home if he isn’t in the best mood and already tired … but they’ll only have access to the pillow hall for a short while. Sure, they could rent it out again, but that would be expensive for just the two of them. When will another chance like this come? They haven’t done this kind of thing since they were kids.
In the meanwhile he walks to the closest vending machine and gets two canned iced coffees. At the very least he’ll be waiting there with a drink in hand, ready to offer it to his friend. Caffeine should help, right?
If the other boy is too tired to play then Chongyun naturally won’t press the issue. ]
[ Upon receiving that last text and quickly reading it, Xingqiu finally gets to his feet. His phone is tucked away as there won't be a need for it while he makes his way to Chongyun's location. It takes him a while, after all, he is deep within the Sutoku Alliance's territory. Imagine, what are the chances a warehouse full of toys in various states would be found within their own lands? It's odd, odder still is that they weren't given any specifications nor any guidance on how to inventory their finds.
But truthfully, he doesn't want to give it further thought.
Finally, he arrives; upon spotting Chongyun he lazily lifts a hand for a wave. His steps lack their usual pep, maybe he wasn't as exhausted as he thought if he was able to journey all the way here but perhaps the whole activity was demoralizing. Rather than his usual pristine state, Xingqiu's clothes are marked by stains from various toys and even his hair isn't in its usual neat style.
And what does he have to say? Nothing right away, but he does end up yawning before closing the distance between them and then throwing his arm around (along with his weight against) Chongyun. ]
