Summary
'I’m here, let me in.'
Mu Qing startled again, hitting his elbow against the window frame. It didn't hurt, but it was strange to fall into such clumsiness.
'Where’s that?'
Within the array, Feng Xin huffed.
'Where else? Come to your fine wooden doors, General, before I kick them in.'

Summary
From the minute she was born, Mai had only to accept the simple truth that love was there, whether she felt it or not. Sentiments such as 'I love you' were unnecessary. Her mother loved her with the teeth of a comb, gliding through Mai’s damp hair as she hummed an unattainable lullabye. No words, just the vibration of a tired voice and rhythmic motion. As a younger child, Mai found comfort in sinking down into her mother’s contentment, wrapped tight in that simple gesture, suffering through harsher tugs and tangles for the feeling of care. Her father loved her with material grants, ready and willing to purchase whatever she so desired, from delicate confectionery treats to finely crafted hairpins and pearl-lined combs. And the love that they shared, the small bond that tied the two to Mai ineffably, came in the ways they pushed her towards a future she couldn’t even begin to grasp, one hand on either shoulder.

“Your ears are lovely.”
Wei Wuxian held Lan Wangji’s wrist and met a wondering gaze. He ought to explain himself before the subject was dropped or forgotten, and the opportunity vanished.
“What if they weren’t?”
Lan Wangji’s brows pulled closer together.
“If I had ears like Xiao Pingguo, would they still be lovely? Or if they were excessively round, bear ears! If I had none at all…or if I had five more? What would you think?”
Kind heart that he was, Lan Wangji took time to answer, considering Wei Wuxian’s ears several times as he thought. Finally:
“It would not matter. You do not have such ears.”
