"You've changed," he states at last, the obvious, even if it's not all obvious to him. His lack of inflection makes it hard to tell, perhaps, whether he thinks it's bad or good, or perhaps it's just that, the obvious, and whatever else comes of it will happen in time.
Amberdrake still wore his ring. He'd worried, when he'd given it to the kestra'chern, if Drake would suffer for it, like Shuuei did, or most anyone else whom Sanzo had cared for. He worried still.
I love you, I missed you, those were things that Sanzo could rarely say. But he roughly, awkwardly caressed his lover's cheek, his hair... and then headed into the shower.
