[ jing yuan doesn't argue that. he understands what dan feng is saying, that the events of the sedition and its consequences cannot be undone. even after seven hundred years, the luofu is internally plagued by issues that have arisen from its instability all those centuries ago.
and jing yuan didn't simply lose one person that day. death wasn't the only loss he had experienced.
the gnawing yearning that's plagued him for the last few weeks had silenced itself the moment dan feng touched his hands, his warmth felt even through the gloves he wore. his fingers close around him, a little less hesitant than before.

[ he says, slightly testy. he might be humbled, but he's still proud, in his way, and being openly corrected makes him bristle, even when it's jing yuan. but he doesn't release his hold on those hands, only threads their fingers together instead. ]
And it is precisely why I am here, after all. To rectify that misstep.
[ a soft sigh passes his lips, and dan feng shakes his head. ]
