[ This creepy lighthouse has a bathing room, but does it have a huge, fancy bath strewn with flower petals? It does now.

Yan Zhengming is standing in front of said bath (with his clothes on, fortunately) and asks, petulantly: ]

I need someone to take a bath with.

[ A beat ]

Someone good-looking!

Comments

[downswing]

The recovering wounded require assistance in bathing.

You... require a nurse?

[xinmoline]

I just said I wasn't injured!
So, are you good-looking or not?

[ As far as he recalls, he hasn't met an "Absterge" before. ]

[downswing]

I have a son.


( Keep away from respectable men, hussy. )

[xinmoline]

That doesn't mean anything, plenty of ugly people have sons!

[downswing]

Shameless.

Have we no priorities past frivolous cares?

[xinmoline]

There's nothing frivolous about taking a bath.

[ Sheesh, is the guy ugly AND dirty? Gross! ]

[downswing]

Accompanied. To what end?

[xinmoline]

Someone keeps trying to drown me.

[downswing]

On the boat journey here, did you fall into the sea?

[xinmoline]

No.

[ The water looked gross, he'd have avoided it at all costs. ]

[downswing]

Haunted otherwise?

Which is to interrupt and say, Lan Zhan is very handsome! The most! Agreed on by all in the cultivation world back home! Though unless you require a face to stare into while bathing for medical reasons he feels compelled to meet, he's also very modest, and very shy.

[xinmoline]

[ Pff! There's no way this guy is the most handsome if he, Yan Zhengming, is around. Anyway, from the teasing tone of this Wei Laozu, he's obviously roasting "Auberge." ]

It's fine, I understand now.

[ ...that the guy's ugly, of course ]

[weifinder]

( married is about the same, even if that's still a New Understanding for exactly only Wei Wuxian, and prickly as roses. )

Good, good, he's simply not suited for this. Though the rest are upstanding enough in all their own ways!

[xinmoline]

The only way I'd be interested, is in someone who is
1) not assaulting to my eyes
2) not a pervert

[weifinder]

In a surprising twist, 2 is easy to meet with this bunch of wandering heroes. 1? Too subjective, just ask everyone to speak with you where you see each other like you stood face to face.

[xinmoline]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I've met a couple of perverts just now, one of which you wouldn't believe.

[weifinder]

I'm sure there's plenty I wouldn't believe about various claims, but that's half the fun, ah? When none of these are malicious.
