[ this is fine. hua cheng is still miffed, nearly a week later, but he'll figure out how to set this entire place on fire and end every contract signed. ]
I have something for you. [ your tip, but also - he slides a stack of papers forward. a decent amount, perhaps a little over two dozen of them. the topmost one is a watercolor washed ink drawing of kazunari. ] I want to include these with every tombstone that gets one of our names. But since we don't know what will happen, with every week, I've done them now and I'm going to leave them in your care.
[ in case i die, is the obvious unsaid.
but when he looks through it, orion will find that there's 36 instead of 35.
there's an extra flayn, with more detail and attention paid to it. hua cheng just sips his own tea. ]
[ it's funnier that i'm tagging this now that you Know. also this was w3 not w4. i apologize.

... Very well. I'll see to it that they are placed.
[ ... after a long moment, they take the paintings and move them so they can disappear down their sleeve. bye. ] Very kind of you.
but he inclines his head, making a gesture across the table. ] If you'd like to sit down to join me, you may. I believe the tea selection I request is a good one. Otherwise, I know that you're at the beck and call of everyone in this hotel at the moment, not just me.
[ which he hates, no matter how casually he says it, and surely orion knows this. ]
