Blushing at the answer, the fabled Iron Wolf of Snowshade Peak at least had the decency to look embarrassed at the dramatic nature of his name. He'd picked it out for himself as a teen, after all, before then simply addressed as 'boy'. Lang for 'wolf', wolf cub that he was, lying in wait for the throne. But also fei for 'flight', for hope, that he might take wing and be free of this life and go home.
But wolves could not fly, and Langfei stayed grounded, stayed exiled, stayed lost.
Until today.
"...I'd forgotten it. My name. When I tried to remember, all I could think of was 'Xiao Tian' being called in your voice. I'm glad you remembered for us both." Smiling bright and warm, Langfei nudged Zhuiying's face to summon his gaze, wanting him to see what came next.
"Thank you for keeping me alive in your heart, Zhuiying. Thank you for giving what I thought I lost."
His name. His past. His future.
Saying nothing more, Langfei leaned in slow to claim Zhuiying's lips with his own.
