[Xie Lian isn't wrong, and maybe there was a cycle where they did end up together. Or maybe a cycle where Shiro ended up with Chiron, or Bucky, or Raven, or anyone else older for that matter. Even if he doesn't remember any of it, the thought is nice. He'd like to not be alone, even if it's only for a little while.
That kiss, though. It gets Shiro to pull away and rub at his cheek a little.]
Now you're the one teasing me. What a turn of events.
...you're welcome. [ aside from that extremely gentle scolding about being bullied, xie lian gives him a gentle smile. he always is heartfelt - that's for sure. ]
When all is said and done, if we can all visit each other, then with what awaits you in your world, I think...it would be easy for you to find your way back to us. If your spirit was willing.

...You know, there have been many cycles, of this place. Many different times, and many different conditions.
[ the corner of his mouth lifts, in a small smile.
there's a beat. ] For what it's worth, I think anyone would be lucky, to spend time with you in such a way.
[ and with that, xie lian leans over, and kisses shiro's cheek.

It's fine, it's fine! I know what you meant. But I can't let it go without having a little bit of fun.
[It seems like teasing in general is his past-time, romantic inclinations or not.]
...but thank you, for that heartfelt response. I'll keep it in mind, yeah?

I'll think about it. I gotta save my boys before I even consider anything else. If I saved myself at their expense, I'd never forgive myself for it.
[He remembers he's gonna die too, but he cares about his kids too much.]
