FOR ME! ;O; <3 @silverink58, YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAND! /o\
Everything is gorgeous and I love it so much, but I ESPECIALLY ADORE the sleeping on LWJ’s face (100% definitely happened, headcanon accepted) and the PLAYING DEAD - this is a rush job, but how could I not write a thing:
“Playing dead will not help you,” Lan Zhan tells the rabbit, who had taken one sniff of the medicinal potion and dramatically keeled over. “We need to ensure that the curse that hit your leg has left no lingering effects.”
Lan Zhan is not unsympathetic - the potion does not smell appetising in the least. But it must be taken nevertheless.
“My brother brewed this especially,” Lan Zhan says patiently. “He stood over it for two hours.”
Gasping and wheezing, the rabbit drags itself back to the vial in Lan Zhan’s hand. It takes another sniff and promptly flops over onto its side.
Lan Zhan sighs. Time for Plan B.
“It does smell very strong,” he says, quietly withdrawing a small metal container from his sleeve and setting it down on the table. “It wouldn’t be surprising if it made you lose your appetite completely.”
Eyes still closed, the rabbit nods and coughs pitifully.
“In that case,” Lan Zhan continues, returning the container to its original size with a quick Engorgement charm before tapping his wand on the lid to open it.
The smell of lotus root soup wafts gently out.
“There’ll be no need for the palate-cleanser I asked the house elves to make you.”
One of the rabbit’s eyes springs open.
“What a shame,” Lan Zhan says, bending to take a slow and deliberate closer look. “They even put chilli in it.”
He swishes his wand, even more slowly and deliberately, to Levitate the lid back on.
“I wonder,” he adds, the final nail in the coffin, “if Fairy might still ea-”
His closing flick is stopped by a black paw on his wrist.
The rabbit gives him a baleful stare, turns to the vial and taps its uninjured leg expectantly.
