( a smile from the man on camera, and a wave of his fingers against the backdrop of an ice wall. )
To those who know me not at all, or less well than others of our number do, I'm Wei Wuxian.
( hands lifted, he offers a polite, perfunctory sort of bow, paired to the clasping of fingers over the other hand's set. they drop out of frame, and he looks a touch more serious, dark eyes fathomless. or maybe it's all in the lighting. (the lack of proper lighting. torchlight keeps him flickering in reds and oranges.) )
The king mentioned Irenia in passing, the dragon? She was thieved away from a lord of death our group knows of, and has run into several times. His name's Anurr, he's the, ah, very slightly less horrible option for being enslaved by death lords, and from Sa-Hareth. Trailing after us with his creatures or his shifting loyalties, never trust his kind voice, Eleven can tell you about that! Five, I'm sure, can tell you more, as can Xie Lian, or Xiao Xingchen. All members of our group, as it were. Anyway!
( he claps his hands, and grins. a little crinkling around his eyes makes him almost seem truly merry, instead of merrily dry. )
Irenia lured far enough west can be called back to Anurr's dubious graces. Far enough east, and with a different strong pull on her mind, maybe, maybe we can free her. Either way, I recommend we do one or the other, because space to crash a being who never asked to be used as she is is limited, and using the keep itself in poor taste, as it defends this world from hell. Apparently. Very exciting stuff!
( ball's in your court now, chaos crew! )

It's weighing costs. Whatever his many faults, Matthias is not worse than what we face here. If anything, we need more conversations with him.

The world is rarely ideal.
He thinks of Sintheria, Nefarian, Onyxia, risen from death in increasing madness. Sindragosa.
Neltharion.
Metal plates holding a deteriorating form together. Liquid flame, hatred, a desire for only destruction. A voice --
You are my legacy. You shall never escape my shadow. ]
We approach this in stages. If, even steered to where she cannot hear her master's call, she only thinks of destruction she may be beyond saving.
Where I am from, undeath warps the mind the longer it lasts. Whispers of control do not help. When combined with a dragon of her size, this usually results in large scale destruction.
If her mind clears, her insight can steer us. She may yet desire freedom to be alone. She may desire an end to her suffering.

If she isn't, death or distant guardianship. Preferrably not our localmost deathless lords.

Not Anurr. Not the vengeance he seeks, not when he was made so much stronger in Taravast by one of our number. There is nothing but a driving push there, consuming. Even alive, I'm death touched enough that I struggled to keep my sense of self, and would have been consumed if not brought out fast enough.
Worse than the Beastmaster had been in his ride after the Huntress, and more than the Huntress in her crying, diseased call to deathly arms riding through Taravast.

[ Doesn't matter if the garden is Anurr or not, to Wrathion. All guardianship is distasteful. ]

Garden?? Thanks autocorrect, this thread is now about Anurr's garden.
When you're all ready to be angry, the bubble of emotion being popped is almost disappointing. ]
Then let us hope she can.
If we seek to lure her, I might draw her attention. Considering her size I'm sure I will be faster and more agile.
[ He's not explicitly saying how and why, but Wei Wuxian knows. If Irenia has been captive in the hands of an undead lord, it's possible she hasn't seen another dragon in a while and may be curious enough to chase him. ]
his frozen garden of delights
cold yet beautiful
[ There has to be a destination, a plan for when she is lured there. Otherwise, Wrathion will just be luring her into a chase which must eventually end one way or another. ]

So sound, into we all have to adapt otherwise, as it usually goes!
