developing the biggest soft spot for wkx from the novel as i slowly unravel his show equivalent

#guess its got smth to do with recognizing his sofrt parts #soft* #hes so not like u would expect him to be as per his archetype #one of the things im thinking about all the time #is wkx‘s terrifying ability to #wreck gentle psychological warfare on the spot #i say gentle because im classifying most of what he does with zzs as gentle #and that is most of what we see of him #im pretty sure that his verbal spars with zzs are a vacation to him #im pretty sure he finds zzs adorable and endearing #in that slightly condescending but nevertheless intrigued and clear-minded way #aa i dont how to articulate it #hes not looking down on him he views zzs as the equal zzs is #but zzs‘s insults and verbal techniques to trap wkx and uncover him #(techniques hes carrying over from the court where u couldnt just stab someone until they relent) #im sure wkx finds them delightful and funny and cute #a Change to his daily life #and im sure he rejoices in sparring with someone this way and rising to the challenge without the threat of violence #and i always get the feel that hes a bit condescending about it #because dealing with zzs‘ techniques is like hiking up a mountain; a little unfamiliar but not intimidating and even exhilarating #tian ya ke #wen kexing from tyk #wen kexing
