( Look, everyone else has been coherent about the bear. Because no one else is accosted in the nude. Wei Wuxian doesn't understand why he's so cursed, but when he fumbles his pendant, he's caught saying on visual where his shoulder, damp hair, and a dark ceiling is evident: )

-- Zhan! The bear!

( Which to the informed audience over the comms, means hearing a grumble roar of curiosity while Wei Wuxian yelps. The image falls, catching sight of his unclad, wet backside as he runs for a window, and a large, furry white mass fills the view.

You're welcome. He's on the naked run again. )

He really does have inordinate affection for you.

[weifinder]

( the bear continues to be in frame, now attempting to squeeze through a window not bear sized.

wei wuxian will eventually use another of his pendants, but there you go. this is the live feed. )

[beitangmoran]

Hmm, the laws of physics are against you right now, Master Bear.

[weifinder]

( the bear acknowledges no physics. the bear tries to shove through the too narrow window again.

the frame creaks, protesting. the bear persists. the window protests harder. )

( The longest suffering of sighs: )

Consider not bathing in its company.

( There comes a point in the third instance of bear-induced pursuit, when a man becomes sadly immune to his soulmate's plight. Dare one say it, indifferent. )

[weifinder]

( look at that bear. look at it's rather generous backside. the bear is trying, very hard, to get through the narrow window wei wuxian fled through.

so far, it is not working. )

[downswing]

It has gained heft.

( Apparently noted ass man Lan Wangji cannot help a gentle observation??? )

[weifinder]

( noted ass man whose husband is a flatlands, should have married the novel wei wuxian, he at least had padding and plenty.

alas, the lack now is met by furry bear behind. shifting, shivering, dare we say quivering from use of muscle and play of tension under fur. out, the bear strives, but does not, sadly, make it. yet.

brute force looms on the horizon. or honey sweet temptations elsewhere?

... no. much like a certain watcher, The Bear Bears No Course Correcting. The Bear Knows What The Bear Wants. )

[downswing]

( Still, somehow, despite everything, the least sympathetic of observers, because one of them must trust in Wei Ying's ability to survive against unbearable odds. )


Wei Ying. End the animal's disgrace.

[inkfire]

I've seen this bear around, here and there. Seems affectionate. He a friend of yours?

[weifinder]

( sadly, until wei wuxian makes for another of his pendants, there is no answer. there is instead a bear's behind as it tries, not so successfully, to squeeze through the narrow window wei wuxian fled through.

look at that bear butt. look at it wiggle. )

[inkfire]

[ it is a hilarious bear butt but mo ran does not need to see that and shuts down his device. hopefully the bear makes it out without chomping on wei wuxian. ]

[balancedwire]

[ This bear seems to keep finding people in the most... odd ways. He doesn't know much about the bear itself, not when he's sure it was before his arrival. ]

You are perhaps the third person to deal with this bear.

[ He will lend help if the help is needed or find a way to distract the animal itself, away from Wei Wuxian if need be. ]

[weifinder]

( he would respond, if he hadn't fled out the window. instead, the bear is still on screen, trying to climb up and out the too narrow window after his friend, the bare human. why does this human shriek? why run? why not join bear in a nap?

so many questions. none asked, none answered. a bear's bottom waggles as a bear tries to get through that window still.

bear butt.

that's all there is. )

[balancedwire]

Perhaps you should focus on something or someone else.

[ The young emperor is trying to do his best not to laugh, more at the bear than Wei Wuxian.

Of course, the other can't go streaking around and should have something to wear. He has no clue where the other ran off to and isn't sure if he'll even find him, but he'll try. ]

[weifinder]

( the bear's ear flicks at the talking, but he ignores it otherwise, continuing to attempt the window escape. it continues to not work.

if he takes to the rooftops, he'll find wei wuxian... having liberated some of line dried clothing for himself, dressed hodgepodge in a linen shift, with an apron over it. no one said he had good lines to pick from, only that he's inventive and not pleased with running around naked.

so he is still wet, hair dripping, wearing a white shift and a patchwork apron, ducked behind a roof partition. because he doesn't want the bear to find him. )

[balancedwire]

[ The bear, for the moment, can be ignored even as he heads out and takes to the rooftops. Something that he tended to do anyway. It was where him and his wife would lay out to drink wine too.

So, once he does find Wei Wuxian he takes stock of what the other was wearing before holding out a cloak that he'd made by hand, it was dark blue in color with white along the outer edges. ]

So what's with this bear?

[ He knows nothing about the bear. ]

@taken for granite

[rumorate]

[Honestly she kind of feels bad for him at this point.]

Do you know why he likes you so much?

[weifinder]

( while he sadly cannot answer at this moment, as he fled out the window without a pendant, he can eventually reach one of his stashed ones. and clothing stashes. as it is, allison is one of the few to feel for his plight, or believe he has one.

meanwhile, there is bear butt on screen. a bear, trying to squirm through the window wei wuxian fled out, too narrow for those bear hips. the bear, increasingly, seems to consider simply crashing through by use of bear arms, and bear strength. )

[rumorate]

Oh ... Jesus.

[Yeah, she can figure out what happened here. She's going to go out and she if she can find Wei Wuxian, or at least go and recover his pendant for him from the giant undead bear. The bear never seems to hurt anyone, so stands to reason she should be fine, right?]

[weifinder]

( she will find this is true: the bear looks more confused than angry, but it doesn't seek to embrace her as it does, repeatedly, with wei wuxian. there's just something about a twig of a necromancer that calls to the bear's heart. perhaps it remembers an earlier incarnation of anurr. perhaps not. perhaps it wishes for anurr to meet another fate.

perhaps it wants to bring wei wuxian home. meet the vengeance family.

wei wuxian refuses to hang around to know.

she will find, however, the pendant is hanging off a chair's corner, where, not so strangely, also clothing is draped. because wei wuxian is not a heathen and strips down coordinatedly before bathing. evidence of his wet footprints remain across the floor, only half smeared by the bear's behemoth paws, the bear resigned to simply sitting and staring out the window and chuffing out a call for its escaped intended. how is it to bring someone to anurr who is consistently not staying around after bear tries to join in the bathing?

at least the annoying one in white-that-does-not-smell-of-snow is not here to loom and taste of confused, bloody intent. the bear paws at its muzzle, then paws at the window again. why is it not larger?

claws hook. it pulls. the window frame creaks, and groans. )

Perhaps he antagonises it.

[weifinder]

( lan zhan, is the bear your proxy )

[rumorate]

Wei Wuxian has never struck me as the antagonistic type.

[Though she'll admit that her experience is limited, she doesn't know his husband as well as Lan Wangji does.]

He numbers many virtues of irritation.
