In the novel/Moshang extras, MBJ usually makes SQH confront his sh*t instead of running around like a coward. But that's bc he's there, /just in case/. I kinda imagined what'd happen if SQH was threatened when MBJ wasn't there to help +
Like, someone tries to hunt him down while MBJ's away, MBJ gets scared something happened to him, so when he finds him all right, and SQH babbles what happened it's like:
SQH: At the slightest suspicion I ran and hid in the closet!
MBJ: smart, very good.
SQH: I dropped my sword in another room as decoy and pretended to be dead in the closet just for sure
MBJ: as expected, good job
SQH: I reviewed at least 3 ways of begging in case someone found me
MBJ: excellent
SQH: when LBH came with rescue I begged anyway in case he wanted to kill me too, I also offered to sing praise of him to Cu-Shen Qingqiu
MBJ: how strategic
SQH: I also prepared to sell out a few allies, if anyone tried to ask
MBJ: good, you're fast to remember intel
The more SQH talks the more shamelessly-coward plans spill out and MBJ's for once honestly impressed by the lengths to which SQH's survival instinct goes
SQH actually gets a bit offended by MBJ's lack of trust in him getting out alive out of /anything/ even if MBJ's not there. Anyway yes. And they cuddle for reassurance 💕✨ End thread
