HC is only going to make him absolutely sure his first call was right and he's 100% okay with that, he thinks XL needs??? things to look forward to??? people who aren't manipulative jackasses sealing his spiritual energies and making him reliant on others to get by, which is a big fat ol' manipulation if you ask shen qingqiu! he's been trying to come up with things to set up for xl to look forward to... please help, guy who most certainly is interested in xl's mental and emotional welfare!

LMAO PLEASE DO come hit me up or i can write us up something to go with!

(shino is a mess and he's severely missing everyone right about now, since it's almost a month since he arrived since the TDM is game canon and happens around Cordis cycle each month, so.................. bring him his family, it's the reason why he's aliiiive /lies down and cries to himself laksdjf)
