( 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! )

[weifinder]

So then you know! The dragon's favourite things, which are the only important ones.

( husbae, he wasn't going to negotiate himself away to anurr, please )

[downswing]

You have practised calisthenics of late?

[weifinder]

... I'm just naturally flexible, haven't you noticed?

[downswing]

Satisfactory. Flexible bodies better withstand toils of possession.

[weifinder]

So you're saying you'd withstand it even better, ah?

[downswing]

Not he who was requested.

[weifinder]

Only because Anurr lacks refined tastes for handsome men. Clearly!

Lan Zhan, you can't be jealous. Of a death lord running his mouth?

[downswing]

He poses danger.

[weifinder]

All of them do. Ratfeck out there too! I don't treat any of them lightly.

[downswing]

Should he now take notice?

[weifinder]

Oh, you really are jealous!

[downswing]

Concerned.

[weifinder]

We already know they'd take me off they could. We've known since Taravast.

[downswing]

A difference between accident and intent.

[weifinder]

I wouldn't call any of that truly accidental. Not targeted, yes. Accidental? No.

[downswing]

Apologies.

I do not intend to diminish your violation.

[weifinder]

Then when sharing concern, trust I want nothing like it ever again.

[downswing]

( Ah, the Emilia school of verbal evisceration.

Watch, as he applies every bit of the Wrath approach to conjugal diplomacy. )


Humbly, I stand corrected.

[weifinder]

( ... and really.

It does work??? )

... You'll remember, ah?

1/2

[downswing]

( 'I am not he crippled of memory.'

'A victory overwrought brings you no merit.'

'Wei Ying.' )

[downswing]

( But no. Think as Wrath would. )


I shall.

[weifinder]

( just because some of us choose to delete memory space or have no ability to recall what happened when fevered and on the edge of death, repeatedly, lan zhan...

... anyway, who wants to remember the unpleasant things? he prefers not. even when memories of the pleasant things also, invariably, fade with time. )

You sleep on time tonight?

[downswing]

( ...................is. He being collared. To nap. )


And patrol work?

[weifinder]

( the side effect of training Wei Wuxian to sleep at your side all the time, husband of his, is that then he wants to sleep at your side all the time. )

Is in shifts, we'll be awake again for the next, ah?

[downswing]

( That moment when you have to take your adult soulmate to nap. )

Come sleep.
