[weifinder]

Passing along a few highlights of my conversation with Asgeirr, our resident scholar ghost possessing a cloak from, oh, Sa-Hareth, that may be worth noting.

The citadel has raised and lowered itself, by a mechanism he believed connected to its central clock, for ages. However, it was largely for defense in the past, and the dragons were their primary form of offense in that defending. The civilians were kept safe. At that time, there was also no blurred lines between the dead and living—you could determine who and what was dead, and who and what lived.

( a pause, and he adds: )

He suggested it might be a thrall to the territories, or a freezing of the person at moment of death. Or that it might be something affecting us, but while that's clearly true, I don't think it's that specifically targeted.

Only a light.

[downswing]

Take a whip, if you wish me disciplined.

[weifinder]

I'm sure we can come up with kinder, more creative means.

[downswing]

If I overstep, speak plainly.

Lan Zhan...

[weifinder]

Lan Zhan. If what you want, or what you need, is me handling a whip for your sake, or whatever form of discipline, then I will. Not in hate, and not in anger. But for you, and anything it needs to be for you.

I can't say I get it right now, if that was a serious request? With how you responded, I felt like it was. But I don't need to understand it to accept it, ah?

( Of all the men, in all the cultivation world.

Of all the fire-prone disasters.

Of all the living, breathing, abyss-loving nightmares.

He had to marry this one. )

[downswing]

( F o u r times over. )

[downswing]

( He thought this fool was the right idea, four times over. )

( Any deeper of an exhalation might rupture his lungs. )

...Wei Ying.

done

[downswing]

I am not of Jinlintai appetites.

[weifinder]

... They're into that?

( look if he sounds surprised




it's because he is, okay, he did not learn this in his first expanse of life nor the empty middle expanse or in the stressful time following, NO ONE TOLD HIM )

[downswing]

The man you name brother is present.

Family, to return you to.

[weifinder]

Four times used? So mean, Lan Zhan.

[downswing]

Fault me.

[weifinder]

You've got to admit, what you said was misleading in context of the rest!

[weifinder]

But fine, if we're divorcing, I'm taking Sizhui's attention. And tea.

[downswing]

My son and all the tea of the world.

[weifinder]

Just all the tea he's making until he's married! If he chooses to invite you is his decision.

[downswing]

Apologies. Cannot accept separation.

My son brews a superior cup.

[weifinder]

Guess you continue to be married four times over. With a fifth incoming, based on Emilia's quest for star charts.

[downswing]

...perhaps.

( C.............aught. )

[weifinder]

Finally going to wear reds for me?

[downswing]

A courtship was requested.

[weifinder]

Which I imagined would mean more meals in interesting places, or something, I hardly figured on this.

( wei wuxian and tradition being in a complicated relationship )
