We've just heard from our friend Haltham about the fighting between Unhalad and Anurr forces nearby, so here's a question for everyone, brought up originally by our companions who got themselves drugged and fight-happy against the second living: what actions do you think we should or shouldn't take?

In Haltham's encouraging words, think wisely. Whatever we're doing or not doing has an effect by merit of choice. Also, a reminder that we still need to not end up in either's hands or revealing our location, given the reason we were summoned here has not changed, and our deaths can be a benefit to either side. Our lives benefit ourselves and our rescuers and the peoples here, by keeping us out of warlord hands.

( He's not opening up with his thoughts because he doesn't want it as a discussion against his take, but as people offering their thoughts after he asks the question. )

You—!

Wei Wuxian, are you just going to let Lan Wangji speak to me like this?

[downswing]

( Let him make attempt to muzzle.

But no. He does not belong here. )

No need. I bid Jiang Wanyin fair day's tidings.

[weifinder]

... Ah, now you're talking to me, Jiang Cheng? I'm so happy!

( This is sad. HE SOUNDS HAPPY.

He's also derailing because trying to talk over this and appease both these men will work not at all, even if Lan Zhan's officially walking away, so to speak. He figures Lan Zhan's still listening, regardless. )

[consignation]

[ Fortunately, Jiang Cheng remains easy to derail. ]

Since when was I not talking to you?!

[weifinder]

Right now! You were only writing with me!

[consignation]

That??? Doesn't mean I'm not talking to you???!?!

It just means that I was communicating to you through writing?? Because I found it more convenient?????????

[weifinder]

It has to! Talking is so much easier than writing, ah? It's faster too! What were you doing, writing from going undercover somewhere? Are you sneaking up on a wolf. Is that what you're doing right now. Were you keeping audio off for me, Jiang Cheng, that's so sweet—

( Of course he isn't, but it's meant to be ridiculous, and so it is. )

[consignation]

No! Your voice just gives me a headache! In fact, I'm starting to get one now—

[weifinder]

Oh, I hear water can help with that! With all the snow, the fresh stuff, and the water at the farm, we should have plenty to heat up in the kitchens! Or by talisman, I guess, whatever works best for you, I won't argue that. Hey! Have you already seen the turnips? In the inside garden?

[consignation]

Or you could just talk less.

[weifinder]

Mm, but there's so much to say. Is it ever a good sign when I'm not talking, ah?

( He laughs... that laugh trails off awkwardly. In trying to jest, he's also being on the nose, so... h..aaaaaaaaaaa.............ha...................ha................ )
