[The Chinese food is tolerable; Ling will eat anything, after all, and he's incredibly hungry after his incredible thirst. All he wants to do now is lean against Greed and eat his vegetables, but he's gone and relayed the bad news and now he has to deal with it. It stings in a way he can't help and doesn't like; individually, the members of his family can go fuck themselves, more or less. As a whole? They can go fuck themselves, too!
But he was doing something with it, and alright, he really wasn't planning on going back but he thought it might take more time than this to cut him off completely. It's a hit to his pride more than anything else, a bitter feeling in his stomach reserved for failure and the distinct shame of being told, no matter how indirectly, that you aren't needed anymore.
So that's that. He has Greed and he has Lan Fan; he's happy here with cheap Chinese takeout and cramped showers, the two of them make it worth it even without the others' added help— but if it didn't bother him at all to be cut off, well, he wouldn't bring it up.
He shrugs.]
Lan Fan was contacted while... [they fooled around in the shower, which can be implied, but for Lan Fan's sake he will not just blurt it out. Implying it!!] I guess I'm not worth speaking to in person anymore!
