Hey, hey, a little bird told me—truly little, only about the size of a bear or two—there are all these little bits of letters raining down with the rest of destruction, so help me figure something out:

Friends, fellow not-of-this-worlders, what did the loving letter bits you pick up say?

Comments

[weifinder]

( another, shorter pause, but one notable nonetheless. )

With you, I don't mind.

[downswing]

There is yet time.

Do not find obligation, where only interest lives.

[weifinder]

Once I would have considered it a protection, for myself, for others, to say nothing. I wasn't right, even if I also wasn't wrong entirely, but now?

[downswing]

Now, you are free.

[weifinder]

Mm, I am. Free and freely offering.

[downswing]

Until that time. You mean to have the letters.

[weifinder]

I do, as our companions have seen them. I'd like an opportunity to return them to their owners, but the one in reach at present isn't willing, and may not be for time yet.

[downswing]

Wei Ying. Why meddle?

[weifinder]

I might be just that incurably incapable of not, but I keep watch, and information is... useful.

[downswing]

Lend them peace.

[weifinder]

It is what I prefer.

[downswing]

Peace, without gain to you.

[weifinder]

What riches I must adorn myself with, in the tattered, bloody rags of other people's laments.

[downswing]

A history unearthed unpermitted is as a body bared.

[downswing]

Pretend no ignorance, your mind defiles.

[weifinder]

Black's been convenient for hiding the stains.

[downswing]

Why hide?

Master Moran and you are equal in method.

[weifinder]

Ah, are we? I'll... keep that in mind.

[downswing]

You will have your letters.



( He will pick them up in sheer disgust with his two hands. )

[weifinder]

For all of a moment I thought you meant you'd write such letters, hahaha!

Lan Zhan, it's fine, I'll keep speaking with the rest. You can just shove me in the waters later, ah?

[downswing]

You have not earned attendance.

[weifinder]

Is that really attending though?

[downswing]

( Attended murder. )


You bring complaint?

[weifinder]

Being shoved in water is usually either playful or mildly frustrated attempt in Yunmeng, ah?

[downswing]

All of Yunmeng is frustration.
