[ once everyone's had some time to come down from their wonderful reunions, xie lian's happy to seek out claude with hua cheng, calling him in to meet in xie lian's room for a celebratory cup of tea.
when he opens the door, xie lian has a smile for him!! ] Claude!
[ ...he also has a black eye? i'm sure that's fine. ] Come in, come in.
(Your eye? He's going to come in!! But he's also going to go right for Xie Lian, getting right up in his space and holding a hand out to check his face?)
xie lian blinks, and then laughs, his expression shifting to a sheepish smile, immediately going to wave him off. ] Ah... it's nothing, it's nothing! Don't worry, it doesn't hurt.
[ thanks buddy, he appreciates it. please do not worry he is fine.
xie lian settles down across from him, and pours the tea! it's softly fragrant, a green tea from the pantry downstairs. ]
...It did. [ his smile's gentle, black eye or not. even that clearly was part of things turning out well (?) ] We were able to save the Leaders, and return the Removed.
[ passing him the teacup!! ] ...And our memories were returned to us, too. Truly - even if things here are not quite over, just yet, we should relish in this small victory we've found.
(At this rate, he might have to add green to his list of favorite teas.
He takes a sip and just. Sighs. It's loud and very dramatic. So dramatic, it's clear that he's playing around... but also, he's serious.)
Finally! What a relief it is to have my head back together. It's my greatest asset, you know? And it's been all discombobulated for weeks. Finally, all of the bobs are in order.

(ARE YOU SURE? He isn't going to press it if Xie Lian insists because he can be the same way but... hm.
Fine, he'll come in for tea though. Settle in and everything.)
... Today turned out well, huh.
