Yes, you do. But that's fine. I'll show you how to relax.
[Not that she cannot be an anxious mess herself, when she gets down to it. on the contrary, she knows 'frazzled' and 'overwhelmed' very well too. But when she has a goal in mind, her stubbornness tends to win over those.]
[ Jiang Cheng looks tempted to argue but he holds back and it's easier to hold back while he's looking at her and her soft body. His fingers brush over her breasts again before down to her stomach. ]
She giggles, but happily drapes herself in the robe, admiring the way the light purple compliments her skin. Honestly, she should probably just stay out of sight while he attends to these things, but it's not like most of the Jiang people don't know what she came here for, and she's sure they're all going to be very supportive.
So instead she makes sure she looks mostly decent before draping herself all over the bed, lounging against the pillows.]
[ Jiang Cheng looks over her and his gaze is hungry. He makes himself decent before moving to another area and calling to a servant for more food -- making sure to get plenty and plenty of what Huaisang seems to favor. He still feels overwhelmed by what had just happened but he also isn't sure how to deal with that so his arms ultimately end up crossed over his chest as he walks back toward the bed while they wait for the food. ]
[She feels like it's been a very long time since she's heard that. Even back in their younger Gusu days, he'd been too serious, preoccupied with appearances and his role as the Jiang heir.]
I hope you'll get to laugh a lot more in the future.

Should I have the servants bring something?

[She's teasing, of course, but she likes to make him splutter a bit and the thought of his face as he'll imagine that...]

Cover yourself, A-Sang.

You're beautiful.

It's sweet of you to say, A-Cheng, but I really need a bath.

I'll have a hot bath drawn while you eat.

[Yes, she quite likes having him at her beck and call. He's so good.]
Will you help me wash my hair?
no subject
[ It sounds... extremely intimate but if she wants it he wants to do it. ]

I'm sure you have a lot of lotus-scented things here... although I don't imagine you have a lot of ladies living in the main compound these days?
[With his mother and his sister gone...]
no subject
Not at all. But I'm sure there are things to be found.
no subject
[Of course she did, because she never travels without well stocked toiletries, those are essentials, unlike sabers, no matter what her brother says.]
Can you feed me, too? I'm too tired to go sit a the table.
no subject
[ Jiang Cheng agrees, willing to go along with whatever will make Huaisang happy, of course. ]
...You...!
[ Jiang Cheng laughs and rolls his eyes. ]
I can bring the food to the bed, yes.
