( 'lo, from the depths of the Mouse House, post-Unwinding: )

If... this were no dream. The child of the rains, bearing a vulpine mask. 'Hyang-Won' and his pale protector.

He is remembered? He did not appear as the other manifestations.

Though we have retrieves ourselves, we cannot abandon a child to nightmares.


( Guilt is strong among exorcists. )

I do not know. I have never attempted such.

[ Never even...considered it, and for good reason. These are incredibly unique circumstances, though. ]

I suppose it may be possible, should we find someone able and willing.

[downswing]

I beg, chance no harm unto yourself.

[matermali]

Anything worth doing often comes with risk.

Success is unlikely, in any case. But I will try.

[downswing]

You offered no name.

[matermali]

Vanessa Ives.

And you are Lan Wangji? I have heard of you. Though it is under sad circumstance, it is an honor to speak with you.

[ She's not summoning some all-seeing eye, she's just observing what others have called him on this call to arms. He seems to have other names, too, but Lan Wangji is what his husband named him. ]

[downswing]

Wangji, clan Lan, has the privilege.

[matermali]

So it would be Mr. Lan, then? I do not wish to offend.

[downswing]

Lan Wangji suffices, mistress.

[matermali]

Miss Ives will suffice.

Should I approach a solution, a means of contact with the boy, I will hasten to inform you. Will you do the same? If you find someone else who is able to reach out.

[downswing]

So pledged.
