[ there's a long beat, because xie lian does have his sword. he stares at it for a moment...

................

no even he can't do that ]

I could dive for a piece of coral, or we could try to find sticks....?

[supremity]

[ gentle bap in the shoulder ]

You only have one change of clothes and we don't have time to dry them out, gege.

[dianxias]

I've slept in wet clothes before, that's fine.

[infreefall]

No no no, it's okay! Don't go diving. Sticks will work fine!

[dianxias]

[ he hops to his feet! ]

I'll go find some! I'm sure there's driftwood around somewhere.

[ there he goes... ]

[supremity]

There he goes...

[ Well, at least he's not gone diving off into the water. Ochako just gets to see him look fondly after him. ]

[infreefall]

At least he's excited?

[ giggling because she loves xie lian... ]

[supremity]

En, and he'll absolutely come back with something we can use.

[dianxias]

[ give him like ten minutes - and sure enough, xie lian comes back holding a big piece of driftwood? it's like, huge. ]

Here, I couldn't find any smaller pieces! Just give me a second.

[ he could probably do this with his sword, but his sword had to cut a lot of 70 foot hair already so. give him a minute to examine the driftwood to find the weakest point...

and then he yeets it up in the air and just. punches it. it shatters apart.

sticks! ]

[infreefall]

[










oh ]

[dianxias]

[ he dusts off his hands then picks up a stick! ]

Will these work? They're not vey straight or even, but... I can try again, if you need me to.

[infreefall]

N-No, these will work fine. We just need them for the fire, anyway.

[ well

she takes a marshmallow, plops it on a stick, and hands it to xie lian. go roast it. ]

[supremity]

[ He's watching with interest, but does reach to pick up the bag of marshmallows to check out the food itself with idle curiosity while Rufus is contending with a ghost. ]

[dianxias]

[ he does in fact know how to roast. he's taking his marshmallow over to obediently sit by the fire. ]

[infreefall]

[ she's going to sit next to him with another marshmallow on a stick to roast one too! ]

So you just kind of want to toast it, right? So it's brown on the outside but still gooey inside.

[dianxias]

[ xie lian smiles at her!!

he then sticks his marshmallow in the fire! ] Such a curious food, these...

[ ........


and then lights up like he suddenly understands something, eyes going wide and sparkly. ] -- Marshmallow...!

[supremity]

[ Hua Cheng freezes where he's about to pop a marshmallow in his mouth, blinking up at Xie Lian. ]

Eh, gege?

[dianxias]

[ he looks

delighted, looking from the marshmallow he's currently roasting to hua cheng, and then back to the marshmallow. ]

Oh, nothing....!

[ sparkles. ]

[supremity]

... you're awfully excited for nothing, gege.

[ he looks so damn fond ]

[dianxias]

[ fufufufu 🎶 wow he looks pleased with himself. ]

Am I? I do just like new food, San Lang...I'm a big fan of these marshmallows!

[supremity]

[ stop you're so cute ]

En, I'm glad that you get to try so many different kinds of foods here. Should I look up how to make marshmallows, so we can bring them back to Ghost City..?

[infreefall]

[ cute... ]

Realize something?

[dianxias]

They're soft, and squishy.

[ he says, like this explains literally anything, ]

[infreefall]

[ giggling - ]

Yeah, they are. That's why they go so well in s'mores!

[dianxias]

Sometimes people can be like that too, can't they?

[ he leans in a little to say so! very secret. ] Their outside can be a little crunchy, but on the inside...
