[pfsb] it's so FLUFFY

In Wei Wuxian's defense, it isn't as if he forgot one should never eat free food unless it came from Madam Bar or the waitrats. It's simply that after nearly a year where he has -- only on occasion, mind you! -- accepted food and drink from strangers with no ill effects, he may have let his guard slip. Just a little.

Besides, he was so absorbed in his work that for all he knew, a waitrat had deposited the little bowl of animal-shaped desserts on his table. It wouldn't have been the first time he failed to notice one of them trying to get his attention.

So when he absently picked up a cracker to nibble on it as he worked through a particularly thorny set of talisman calculations --

Well.

The little black rabbit that now sits on the table, a red ribbon looped around one ear, just wants it emphatically known that this was not his fault.

Lan Zhan's whiskers tickle his cheek as he dozes off, arms circled around his beloved in a makeshift nest. Wei Wuxian sleeps soundly, his dreams untroubled; he thinks he feels the bed shift here and there in the night, but it pulls him to only the barest hint of consciousness before he drifts asleep again.

When he wakes, the first rays of sunlight have crested the horizon. They catch on the wall of talismans, deepening the paper's golden hues. Lan Zhan's ribbon, still secured to his wrist, glints in the early light.

And there are arms around him.

Sleepily, Wei Wuxian begins to smile. He turns his head just enough to look over: there is Lan Zhan, human once more, nestled close beside him.
