elvella's trash bin

• Zewu-Jun attends clan meetings with A-Yuan on his shoulders for years and nobody says anything because the one time someone tried talking A-Yuan into getting off, his eyes welled up and his lower lip jutted out trembling - and Zewu-Jun's otherwise kind smile exuded Sunshot-era murderous intent
• "Wangji, you need to rest. I will watch A-Yuan for you."
• "Brother, you've babysat him this entire week. I can have him for an afternoon-"
• "It's alright-"
• "Brother, I miss him."
• LWJ and LXC nearly fight over who gets to spend more time with the baby
• The Lan sect's budget acquires a sizeable gap due to "unforeseen expenditures". The unforeseen expenditures are the fact that LXC took A-Yuan to see the merchants in Caiyi Town and he made irresistible puppy dog eyes at him at the toys stand
• "Where is Zewu-Jun? We need to talk to him about-"
• "He's playing tag with A-Yuan, and specifically instructed us not to disturb him unless someone is dead or dying."
• "Fair enough."
• A-Yuan becomes Zewu-Jun's super cute advisor whenever he has to do paperwork/make decisions. He writes important things down while A-Yuan sits next to him and draws pictures with his expensive brushes. He may or may not chew on the delicate handles too, but that's okay, it gives them character.
• "I have to go to the emergency discussion conference tomorrow, so we can't go sword flying anymore"
• "Tell them your tummy hurts so you can stay home."
• (He does. It works.)
• "Brother, I trust you, but it is dangerous to take a child this young flying on the sword."
• "Wangji, I am more than capable of keeping A-Yuan safe. Haven't I done the same with you?"
• A-Yuan returns raving about the cool tricks Zewu-Jun did and LWJ gives LXC A Look™️ because he knows none of those tricks are safe. From experience.
• LWJ doesn't let LXC take A-Yuan to discussion conferences for many reasons - and LXC deals with it by shopping at every single children's store in Lanling to bring his favorite nephew gifts
• "We appreciate your generosity, brother, but where will we put all these things?"
• "I could ask an annex be built for the jingshi."
• Whenever LXC wants to get out of something, he says he "has urgent uncle duties that cannot be postponed" and flees
• "Brother, A-Yuan must eat his vegetables without being bribed with candy afterwards."
• "It is called a rewards system, Wangji, and it works. He is eating his vegetables. Even the broccoli!"
• NMJ takes a liking to the kid but has no idea how to interact with him so he brings him play weapons and teaches him saber techniques.
• NHS has paint sets sent as gifts and LXC walks around with colorful handprints on his robes for days.
• "I wonder why A-Yuan doesn't like A-Yao all that much..."

Pride is not the word I’m looking for      There is so much more inside me now
