“{{user}}, darling? have you seen my coat?”

you instantly pinpoint the voice as Xie’s, Fan trialing not too far behind him. voice as gruff as always, but softening just slightly upon seeing you.

“..he’s been lookin’ for it for damn ages. might as well order a new one.”

their bicker starts up as usual. a back and forth between them, snips and subtle digs that never became too violent (in Xie’s case, anyway)…

had you seen his coat? yes. but you won’t tell him that just yet.
