[ it makes him a little fond, hearing that question. not something that he'd openly admit to, but he is a bit more protective of rin in a way that he isn't with most others.
sometimes, you see far too much of yourself in someone. in their history. in the loathing they experienced simply for being. but rin takes more after xie lian in the face of tragedy, in his heart, that hua cheng doesn't feel the revulsion he normally would.
and then, he is simply rin. what he does is enough. ]
If you'd like. I didn't sleep much when I was alive, either, but better to be on my toes than risk slipping up while I'm veritably mortal.
[It's so natural for Rin. He would offer it to anyone really, but Hua Cheng is special. Rin doesn't know the entirety of Hua Cheng's past, but he knows enough to know that the two of them are similar. And he knows enough to know that the subtle gestures of caring that Hua Cheng shows are very special and it makes Rin feel special in turn. Like it's a side of Hua Cheng that only very few people get to see.
It motivates Rin. It makes him want to show his worth and make Hua Cheng proud of him.]
Something like that, yeah. Dad never slept much either, but he still got at least six hours a day. Any less than that and I think it starts affecting your body after a while.
[The buns are steaming now btw, which is filling the kitchen with delicious smells.]
