[ ah, good. his highness is around... that must be nice for chengzhu, though he doesn't say anything. if anyone has ever been privy to hua cheng's giant crush devotion, it has been yin yu, though he's never breathed a word about it to anyone, hua cheng himself included. it's just an unspoken thing. ]

Thank you, Chengzhu. As always, I'm in your care. [ yin yu gives a polite bow as always, his head dipping downwards. ] It may take me some time to become acclimated, but if there's anything I can do for you here, I'll do so with honor.

[ aka please give him jobs to do. please don't make him think about anything that happened let him just put his mask on and pretend again. yin yu has questions, many of them, but none he would ask his more-or-less boss, and none he thinks he knows the answer to, anyway. ]
