[ after a few hours of just sort of dealing with all of those reveals, yin yu sets out to the portal for the first time. he's feeling antsy, in ways he hasn't in a while, and there's someone who he's fairly sure will need this more than he does.
...and, the last time they did this, yasusada needed it then, too. even if it ended the way it did; yin yu does not begrudge yasusada his emotions or his want to protect the person most important to him. things have started to feel a little more even between the two of them, anyway, and he's not sure how to begin addressing the knowledge they learned today with yasusada.
except...he kind of is, actually.
so. when he tracks down yasusada, he announces his presence with a little more noise than usual. it's hard not to - the wings on his back are huge and noisy, and it's harder to be quiet than he'd like. when he gets there, he waits until yasusada has noticed him before he speaks, with a bow of his head, brief, ]
Yasusada. Spar with me. [ it's not asking, this time, as he pulls out that same pink dagger from all those nights ago.]
