[He squirms a little, but keeps his smile, a soft laugh escaping as Lan Zhan kisses his cheek. But he's not sure how to say that whatever magic or technique they're using to take their abilities away, it's different, somehow. He's done enough research into golden cores to know, they're not something that can be split or shared.]

Yes, I feel like I'm getting the better end of that deal. What's mine is yours too, but that's not much! No lands, no money, no fancy titles, just me.

[He shrugs, leaning into the way Lan Zhan massages shampoo over his scalp because wow that feels nice.]

Oh- oh- but here it's pretty equal, isn't it? Free food and lodging and clothing. But I guess I took over your room a little huh? Still, this hotel is the fanciest cage I've ever been in I think.
