backdated: wedding day iii

[downswing]

Before her second disappearance, Prassenze ravaged her compartment for a hidden box.

( 'How do you know this, Wangji?' 'Any details?' No. )

Separately, forge or jewellery master begged sought. A trinket for powders.

New arrivals, be welcome.

( ooc: CONTENT WARNING that he is looking to make tokens to hold hell demonic lizard creature ashes, if that creeps anyone out OOCly ;; )

Let us avoid this for a season.

private

[weifinder]

Think we have the luxury?

private

[downswing]

If you are patient.

private

[weifinder]

I don't make a good one.

private

[downswing]

Learn.

private

[weifinder]

Mm.

Re: private

[downswing]

You disapprove.

private

[weifinder]

No, more practical. It's rare I've made use of this skill more than once in a season.

Re: private

[downswing]

But precedented.

private

[weifinder]

I'm not sure it has been, given the nature of it. I can see the possibility arising.

Not on this train journey, what pulls Prassenze and Firo won't be solved by it, I imagine.

Re: private

[downswing]

Then, do not risk yourself further. Agreed?

[weifinder]

I won't take unnecessary risks, and if you also speak to me about ones you feel you must take, I'll do the same.

[downswing]

Have I not?

[weifinder]

You're getting better at it, do you claim in full honesty you talk with me before doing?

Not to say there's always time, though with these pendants more reliable than the Jin Butterflies or my one way message talismans... there's time. Not necessarily for answers, but for speaking.

[downswing]

You yet begrudge omissions.

[weifinder]

Not begrudging omissions.

Hoping we're both getting better at saying.

3/3

[downswing]

I do not... mistake the nature of the ashes.

They are not her. I retain reason.

[weifinder]

It's a reminder. Those hold power of their own.

This isn't censure, Lan Zhan. Only a reminder that my arms are open to you, much as my bed is.

( look for once it isn't innuendo )

[downswing]

I am not ungrateful.

[weifinder]

Please try not to avoid me in the future.

( admitting, in the end, it did bother him. and he'll claim it, which feels uncomfortable in and of itself, but... honesty to self and partner. he keeps asking for it. he needs to keep giving it. )

[downswing]

You require physical companionship.

[weifinder]

I prefer warmth in the dark.

[downswing]

...apologies. Your sleep.

The train's thrall. I did not anticipate you yet required...


( ...a living person to watch Wei Ying's sleep, when sleep is enforced. )
