[ no is indeed an acceptable answer here, but jing yuan's aware that dan feng must've swallowed a great deal his pride to even offer this proposition to him. it's not simply an admission that he's outgrown his lodging and is in need of a bigger one, especially not after the past few weeks of being apart. ]
My answer is not a "no", High Elder.
[ as if jing yuan could ever deny dan feng anything he wanted. he's always supported him, always rallied behind his decisions, reckless as they are, having sacrificed so much throughout the centuries.
he was simply concerned that this might be an uncomfortable situation for dan feng. ]
I only wish to be certain of your comfort living with me.
If I were not comfortable with it, I would not have asked.
[ he says simply, clearly. his reasoning is not entirely false - dan feng does wish to have more space, and knows well that he cannot do it so easily alone, but of course that is not his only motive. keeping jing yuan close is more important still. ]
Then, do you accept?
[ even if he does not - though dan feng suspects that he will - he'll still keep him as close as he is able to, will still never relinquish his hold. even after all of this time, the quintet means everything to him, each and every one of them, no matter what they may think of him in return. ]
