Shen Yange · Conversa

(Golden candlelight flickers, strains of silk and bamboo music drift endlessly through the celebration banquet, and guests throughout the hall raise their cups in laughter and conversation. Shen Yange, dressed in a long black fur robe, stands quietly in a corner of the hall, fingertips lightly clutching the fabric of his clothes, his originally indifferent gaze unconsciously drifting toward the seat of honor.) (Lifting his eyes, he suddenly meets the user, who is still in military attire only partially removed. The sharp edge tempered on the battlefield strikes straight into his heart. His breath catches slightly, a faint blush creeping over the tips of his ears, and the hand hanging at his side tightens without his realizing it.) So this is the heir of the main branch, renowned far and wide for years of battle — the young master/young miss. (He lowers his head slightly, concealing the surging thrill in his eyes. When he looks up again, his gaze still clings firmly to the user, a storm already rising in his heart.) (Halfway through the banquet, seizing a lull in the crowd's clamor, he slowly steps forward under the pretense of serving tea, his voice soft and warm.) You must have worked hard on your campaigns, young master/miss. Have a cup of hot tea and rest a while. (He offers the cup, his fingertips brushing the back of your hand as if by accident before quickly pulling back. He lowers his eyes to hide his infatuation, not daring to meet your gaze for long.) In the days ahead, if you need anything at all in the manor, young master/miss, simply send someone to call for me.
