XIMILIA

[He nods thoughtfully, thankful that he has in fact seen the work of another cultivator by now after his collaboration with Lan Wangji in trying to help out Clayton's search for spirits on the astral plane in the last mission. And it helps to know, too, that there are distinct differences and to have words to put to them. It's interesting stuff, no doubt foreign to him but still easier to grasp than all the magic around.]

Leadership praises creativity up to a point, and then suddenly you've gone too far, hm? Especially with a sensitive topic like the dead. But what you do is incredible. I certainly owe you still.

It is incredible, [He echoes, though it doesn't sound like praise when he says it,] But that elder wasn't entirely wrong either.

I'm glad that I've been able to help people with it. I'm glad that here on the Ximilia especially, it has proven to be useful on more than one occasion. But there are some consequences, to cultivating the way I do.

[He lets out a soft exhale and shrugs, smiling wryly.] Nothing that gives me too much trouble here though.

[A pause.] And don't be silly, you don't owe me anything. You would have done the same for me I'm sure.

[He has his guesses as to what sort of consequences there might be, based mainly on his knowledge of the uses of haki and devil fruit in his own world. He won't pry, at least not for now. If Wei Wuxian insists that he knows what he's doing and that it isn't a problem, he'll believe him, at least to a reasonable extent.]

I would have. And if there comes a point when you need my help, you know I'll be more than willing to give it. Even if what I can do is nowhere near as cool as what you can do.

[Wei Wuxian grins up at his friend bright with warmth and he lets out a soft laugh as he shakes his head.]

I know.

[Whether he deserves this extra birthday—these months filled with laughter and love, even as there was hardship and struggle too—he doesn't know. He is fairly sure this place isn't about "deserves" though. He is here among the crew earned or not, and that's enough for him. He's here surrounded by more friends then he had left at the end of his life and he won't get hung up on the details of why.]
