[The feed is a little different from what he'd been feeding their two hens. He remembers the logic of how he'd come to adjust it and it was all very reasonable though it was a little odd to remember it even though he hadn't done it yet.

He scatters the feed for the chickens to peck at and had to hide a smile at the way Gu Yun spoils these birds.

Gu Yun guessing his thoughts was a little embarrassing. He didn't mind being reassured but he also knows his thoughts were foolish.

His returning smile then is also a little sheepish.]

I know you wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it. As long as that's true, it doesn't matter to me whether it is the right time or not.

[Though he was also aware that that wasn't the same for Gu Yun. He always worried about these sorts of things more between the two of them.

When it came to things like that, whether it's the timing of a proposal or even clothing or food, he had very little opinions about them and even fewer standards when it comes to himself.

Which is probably why most days Gu Yun picks out his outfits. It was something he just accepts happens most days and he doesn't mind it, to be honest.]

Is there an exit to these rifts?
