"uh huh," chongyun says absently, leading the way to the body of water. "i'll just tell my whole body not to succumb to human limitations. even though i'm human." there's an upward curl of their lips that ren can't see, as chongyun's back is to him.
they also pause here, standing still for a moment to allow ren to catch up. "hey ren? i have another question." the conversation is changed, dropped for something much more DEVIOUS. the smirk on chongyun's face grows wider as they snatch ren's wrist firmly, using their free hand to casually drop their claymore on the ground.
"remind me again, what does water smell like?"
chongyun charges forward, lunging into the water and dragging ren with him.
there's a brief pause, a moment of consideration — the wanderer's face is so expressive that it's clear the instant the grin's intention CLICKS. features settle into a playful look accordingly; head tipping back, one thin brow arching. ❝ in that case, maybe you should just CHOOSE not to be poisoned next time. ❞ ren tells them, tone dismissive to the point of clear parody. ❝ surely you can do that, can't you? stop being and susceptible to deadly substances —change starts with YOU. ❞

he follows their gaze towards the water, eyes bright with poorly concealed curiosity. ❝ dinner and a show? interesting. ❞ ren certainly isn't complaining — for once. he's never required food to survive, never felt the gnawing of hunger in the pit of his nonexistent stomach, but he's still acquired a peculiar fondness for FISH nonetheless. ❝ knock yourself out. i'll be the judge of your culinary prowess — just don't expect me to hand over any bonus points out of pity. ❞
