‘ some guidance? ’ he repeats the words, an eyebrow raised in question. 

it’s not usual that he would ask for xie lian’s opinion. it happens often and xie lian answers him with nothing but honesty, because why wouldn’t he. though, this time it’s a bit surprising. 

opinions are one thing, but giving a guideline to the artistic creative process for someone’s work who isn’t his own is.. well he wouldn’t say new, but it’s something he hasn’t had much experience with that he’s extremely confident with.

he stands in silence for a moment, biting the inside of his cheek, mulling over his thoughts on the current work right before him.

‘ san lang, i think what you have planned out for your work is well composed. ’ he starts. everything san lang has created that he has seen has been nothing less than awe-striking in his opinion. even now, being able to watch him work from here and the steps he takes to go about his work is interesting.

‘ is there anything that you may want to convey? ’ he asks, a hand reaching out and gingerly touching the partially sculpted marble. the marble beneath his fingers is cool to the touch and smooth, like dipping a hand into a still body of water. 

he moves his hand down, the parts that have just started to become chipped at and the now rough texture of it underneath his fingertips. he hums, enjoying the bit of contrast of textures and relishing in the process of creation. he can’t help but think about how his san lang is so talented. and every time, his heart swells just a little bit more than before.

‘ there doesn’t seem to be anything lacking from what you’ve started so far, but i don’t know what you would want the end piece to convey. ’ he explains. he moves his hand from the marble. there winds up being a bit a dust on his hand once he removes it and he laughs a bit, dusting his hands off before tucking a strand of hair behind his ear.

‘ ah. i probably shouldn’t have touched it, you’re still working on it and you were asking for guidance. ’

there’s a furrow in xie lian’s eyebrows, a frown with no real indication of disappointment plastered on his face. it’s more as if it’s just been put there as a placeholder for what his face should be expressing. 

...probably because he’s not very sure if he knows what he wants his face to express at hearing the statement. because he’s not free from the judgement of similar faults.

‘ does it feel better to say it out loud? ’ xie lian asks. sometimes, it’s not enough to know the fact of it yourself. sometimes, speaking it into the air makes it more palpable; more real than just knowledge and a weight that you carry.

‘ while that may be true, you have also done good things for people who some may think that they deserved much less than you have given them. ’ he adds on. 

he knows wei ying has done things that many may condemn him for. and they are within their right, but he has also knows that he has defended those who could not defend themselves. of course, he doesn’t know everything, there’s no way he could.

but the intentions that he had, the ones that he currently has do speak a bit louder than past misgivings. at least xie lian feels so.

‘ if you think i am in the right to judge you for what you’ve done, i think you might be in for a surprise. ’ it’s an attempt to lighten the mood, but he’s not too sure if it lands so well. probably not.
