sweet their concerns, the kingpin laying their weary body down upon the floor after a languorous stretch, groaning as they laid down, scars shimmering with a sheen of silver tint, tiny golden scales edging the scars. listening to them speak, they gave a deep purr, eyes sliding to half lid. "if you sing at an event, i think i may die of getting enough rest", they teased her softly, shoulders briefly tensing at a loud crash of thunder outside, the jaguar bodied kingpin yawning to ease out the tension, tongue curling in their mouth. claws sheathed, they made the motion of kneading the hard floor, asteri's scent thick in the room and bringing them to rest easily. as the winter storms set in, they noticed their body becoming ... slower, for lack of better terms.

their mind had been absorbed as of late, busy with thoughts of the raid, and the meetings. sleep had not come for them in so long, not that they minded, they could function without such a thing for some time. sleep was an elusive lover, always a step ahead, and every step they took forward they found themselves two steps in the wrong direction. resting their head on their paws, they hummed in thought, "should you feel comfortable to sing, i should sing with you. it has been a long time since i've sung ... and i have many a tale i can twist into song. or would it be best to sing something more commonly known?", they murmured thoughtfully, tail curled up as they rolled to their side the slightest.

night laid thick and heavy outside, a blanket to the world beyond the doors of the inn, beyond the threshold of the courtyard. closing their eyes, they took a deep inhale of her scent, calming their mind as it picked up another idea and ran, their eyes cracking open after some time, nearly missing her words and wuyi's. blinking, they turned their gaze to both and smiled, "not to worry, you two. i'm not overworking myself, i'm just not doing nearly enough. there is not enough time in each day to do what needs to be done. certain things must come first ... and the weight of it is very ... appalling.", they admitted with a slight drawl before opening their eyes, lulled by the warmth within the room, and the company. humming slightly, they patted the ground near them, inviting wuyi should xe feel like coming to their side. "if i get sick, munchkin, then songbird here, will have to give you your sweet sugary treats!", they purred, looking to asteri with a glint of mischief in their eyes.
